Hyaline cartilage forms a joint between a _.
Correct answer: A. Growing bone
- A. Growing bone
- B. Mature bones
- C. Lamellar bone
- D. Secondary bone
Explanation
Option A is the correct option because 'Hyaline cartilage' exists on the sternal ends of the ribs, in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, and on the articulating surfaces of bones. It gives the structures a definite but pliable form. The presence of collagen fibres makes such structures and joints strong, but with limited mobility and flexibility, Throughout childhood and adolescence, there remains a thin plate of hyaline cartilage between the diaphysis and epiphysis known as the growth plate. Eventually, this hyaline cartilage will be removed and replaced by bone, so it forms a joint between growing bones.

About Support and Movement
Support and movement covers the axial and appendicular skeleton, bone structure, joints and the arrangement of skeletal muscles. Muscle contraction is explained through actin, myosin, sliding filaments, calcium ions and ATP, while arthritis is distinguished as a disorder of joints rather than a normal part of movement.
