Question

what kind of tissue is the forerunner of long bones in the embryo?
a) hyaline cartilage
b) fibrocartilage
c) dense fibrous connective tissue
d) elastic connective tissue

Explanation:

During embryonic development, long - bones form through endochondral ossification. Hyaline cartilage serves as the model or forerunner that is gradually replaced by bone tissue. Fibrocartilage is more involved in areas like intervertebral discs. Dense fibrous connective tissue is found in tendons and ligaments. Elastic connective tissue provides elasticity in structures like the aorta.

Answer:

A. hyaline cartilage
