Biology Question on Animal Tissues
Which cartilage is present on the end of long bones
Calcified cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
Elastic cartilage
Fibrous cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
Solution
The correct option is (B) : Hyaline cartilage
A supporting connective tissue that is flexible but robust is cartilage. Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage are the three different forms of cartilage. The most prevalent and transparent form of cartilage is hyaline cartilage. The nose, ears, trachea, larynx, and smaller respiratory tubes all include it as supporting tissues. Additionally, it can be seen on the extremities of long bones and the ventral ends of ribs. It is present as articular cartilage (synovial joints) on various joint surfaces as well as on the articular surface of bones. Hyaline cartilage serves as a shock-absorbing tissue and minimises friction in this area. The majority of the embryonic skeleton is made of hyaline cartilage, which is the precursor of bone.
