Question

question 6 (bonus) (mandatory) (1 point) what is the main type of tissue and specific kind of tissue in the image below? image options: nervous tissue; nervous tissue, supportive connective tissue; fibrocartilage, supportive connective tissue; hyaline cartilage, loose connective tissue; reticular tissue

Explanation:

Hyaline cartilage is a type of supportive connective tissue. Its cells (chondrocytes) are in lacunae, and the matrix is glassy - appearing, which matches the tissue structure in the image. Nervous tissue has neurons/glial cells (not seen here), loose connective tissue has different cell/matrix composition, and fibrocartilage has more visible fibers (not here). So the correct option is the one with supportive connective tissue and hyaline cartilage.

Answer:

B. supportive connective tissue; hyaline cartilage
