Unfortunately, the provided reference only describes the types of cartilage, not the total number of individual cartilages in the human body. Therefore, based solely on the information given, I cannot answer the question "How many cartilages are in the human body?". The reference does tell us:
- There are three types of cartilage:
- Hyaline cartilage (the most abundant)
- Fibrocartilage
- Elastic cartilage
However, knowing the types of cartilage doesn't tell us how many individual pieces exist within the human body.
