Question

Cartilage and bone are type of:
A. Muscular tissue
B. Connective tissue
C. Skeletal tissue
D. Epithelial tissue

Answer 1

Hint:-Connective tissue is the tissue that connects, separates and supports all the other types of tissues in the body. Bone forms a skeleton that supports the body and cartilage connects the bone.

Complete answer:
As we have discussed above, bone and cartilage are two specialized forms of connective tissues. They are composed of cells embedded within an extracellular matrix. Also, bone and cartilage play an important role in protecting the internal organs of our body, providing structural support and surfaces for muscle attachment.
Bone is a highly rigid connective tissue which forms the skeleton of vertebrates. Bone is the type of tissue which comprises blood vessels and cells.
Cartilage is a thin, fibrous, flexible connective tissue, which is mainly found in the external ear, larynx, respiratory tract, and the articulating surface of the joints. These cartilages lack blood vessels, therefore, the growth and development of these tissues are slower compared to that of other tissues.
All connective tissue consists of three main parts: fibers (collagenous and elastic fibres), cells and ground substance.

Hence the correct option is B) Connective tissue.

Note:- The main functions of the bone are:
A. To serve as storage for minerals for organisms.
B. To provide structural support (as skeleton)
C. To protect the internal organs of the body from any external force or impact.
The functions of cartilage includes supports of the respiratory tract, acts as shock absorbers between weight-bearing bones, maintains the shape and flexibility of fleshy appendages and reduces friction at joints .The cells of connective tissue include adipocyte, fibroblast, mast cells, macrophages and leukocytes. Skeletal tissue is composed of skeletal muscles which support the skeleton and not the bone which are connected with each other to form the skeleton.
