Hyaline cartilage does not posses?
Correct answer: D. Blood capillaries
- A. Fibers
- B. Cells
- C. Laucane
- D. Blood capillaries
Explanation
Hyaline cartilage contains chondrocytes in lacunae and has fine collagen fibres embedded in a smooth matrix, but it is avascular and therefore has no blood capillaries. Nutrients reach its cells by diffusion through the matrix. Students may choose fibres because they are difficult to see in hyaline cartilage, but fine fibres are present even though capillaries are absent.
