The process of cartilage formation is known as:
Correct answer: C. Chondrogenesis
- A. Chondrioblasts
- B. Chondriocutosis
- C. Chondrogenesis
- D. None of these
Explanation
Chondrification (also known as chondrogenesis) is the process by which cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue. Chondroblasts are an immature type of cells, which secrete the extracellular matrix of the cartilage. Chondromatosis is a rare, benign (noncancerous) condition that involves the synovium.

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.
