Elastic cartilage can be found in specific areas of the body that require flexibility and the ability to return to their original shape after being deformed. According to provided reference, these areas include:
- The nasal tip
- The external ear
- The corniculate cartilage of the larynx
These locations benefit from the elastin present in the cartilage matrix, which provides the necessary flexibility and "memory" (ability to return to its original shape).
