Answer:

The resilient substance that keeps bone ends from crushing when compressed is Articular Cartilage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Articular cartilage -

Articular cartilage is a smooth tissue that covers the ends of the bone joints ( at the junction of two bones ).

The important function of these cartilage is to allow smooth movement during movement of joints , a healthy cartilage on the joints makes movement easier and friction less , as the cartilage allows the bones to glide over easily.

These Articular cartilage can get damaged by any injury , as cartilage does not have the capability to heal itself, doctors perform surgical techniques to repair the damage.
