Question

10 multiple choice 1 point hc.jpeg what tissue is this? blood hyaline cartilage elastic cartilage fibrocartilage

Explanation:

To determine the tissue, we analyze the options:

• Blood has different cellular components (erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets) and a liquid matrix, not matching the image.
• Hyaline cartilage has a glassy - appearing matrix, chondrocytes in lacunae, and is the most common type of cartilage (e.g., in joints, trachea). The image shows a matrix with chondrocytes in lacunae, consistent with hyaline cartilage.
• Elastic cartilage has more elastic fibers (e.g., in ear, epiglottis) and a different matrix appearance, not matching.
• Fibrocartilage has dense collagen fibers (e.g., in intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis) and a more fibrous matrix, not matching the image.

Answer:

B. hyaline cartilage
