Question

mrs. morgans fracture has not developed a soft callus. which type of cartilage is her body having trouble forming? elastic cartilage fibrocartilage compact cartilage hyaline cartilage

Explanation:

• During fracture healing, the soft callus is formed by fibrocartilage. Fibrocartilage helps in bridging the gap between the fractured bone ends in the early stages of healing.
• Elastic cartilage is more related to structures like the ear and epiglottis for providing elasticity.
• Compact cartilage is not a standard type (compact bone is a type of bone tissue).
• Hyaline cartilage is found in areas like the ends of long bones, trachea rings etc., and is not the main cartilage involved in soft callus formation during fracture healing.

Answer:

fibrocartilage
