Question

what kind of tissue is this?

a hyaline cartilage
b spongy bone
c intramembranous ossification
d compact bone

Explanation:

Identify key histological features

The micrograph shows circular structural units.
These units are osteons (Haversian systems).
Each osteon has a central canal.
This is characteristic of Compact Bone Histology.

Analyze the tissue type

The presence of repeating osteons with concentric lamellae is the hallmark of compact bone.
We apply our knowledge of Osteon Structure to confirm this.
Spongy bone lacks these dense, parallel osteon systems.
Hyaline cartilage contains chondrocytes in lacunae without central canals.
Intramembranous ossification is a process, not a mature tissue type.

Match with options

Option A is hyaline cartilage.
Option B is spongy bone.
Option C is intramembranous ossification.
Option D is compact bone.
The correct option is D.

Answer:

• (A) hyaline cartilage
• (B) spongy bone
• (C) intramembranous ossification
• (D) compact bone (Correct answer)
