  • A. Elastic cartilage
  • B. Fibrous cartilage
  • C. Perichondrium
  • D. Hyaline cartilage

Explanation: Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant type of cartilage and is found in the nose, ears, trachea, larynx, and smaller respiratory tubes.

Correct answer: Hyaline cartilage
  • A. Fibrous
  • B. Hyaline
  • C. Elastic
  • D. Flexible

Explanation: Hyaline cartilage is a glossy, greyish-white tissue with a uniform appearance.

Correct answer: Hyaline
  • A. Lacks vascular supply
  • B. Lacks mineral deposits in matrix
  • C. Has less number of cells deep down
  • D. Lacks protein in matrix

Explanation: Cartilage is more difficult to heal than bone primarily because it lacks a vascular supply, meaning it has very limited blood flow.

Correct answer: Lacks vascular supply

Correct answer: Vertebrae
  • A. Shoulder
  • B. Wrist
  • C. Elbow
  • D. Knee

Explanation: The "ball" is the top, rounded part of the humerus, and the "socket" is the bowl-shaped part of the scapula,into which the ball fits.

  • B. Skul bones
  • C. Costal cartilage
  • D. Pubic symphysis

Explanation: The bones of the skull are an example. The immovable joints between the plates of the skull are known as sutures.

Correct answer: Skul bones
  • A. Fibrous joints
  • B. Synovial joints
  • C. Cartilaginous joints
  • D. Gliding joints

Explanation: Both pubic symphysis and intervertebral discs are types of cartilaginous joints.

  • A. Thick, soft, and flexible
  • B. Thin, soft, and flexible
  • C. Thin, hard, and immovable
  • D. Thick, hard, and flexible

Explanation: At joints, the exoskeleton is quite thin and flexible as it lacks a cuticle and helps in the movement of muscles of the arthropods.

Correct answer: Thin, soft, and flexible
