Question

The supportive skeletal structures in the human external ears and in the nose tip are examples of?

• A. Areolar tissue
• B. Bone
• C. Ligament
• D. Cartilage

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Cartilage

The correct option is D.

Explanation for the correct option:

1. A portion of the nose, the trachea, the epiglottis in the throat, and the ear all contain elastic cartilage.
2. The purpose of this cartilage is to give bodily parts like the outer ear strength and flexibility.
3. Regarding the shape and function of facial features, cartilage is important.
4. Because it lacks the ability to regenerate, injured cartilage in the nose or ears cannot be repaired.
5. This indicates that after the cartilage structure of an ear or a nose is damaged, the mutilation persists.

Explanation for the incorrect options:
Option A:

1. Areolar connective tissue is the kind of tissue that covers and links the body's many organs.
2. The provision of nutrients to the cells as well as acting as a cushion to protect the organs from various external stimuli are two of this type of tissue's key functions.

Option B:

1. The nasal bones are two little oblong bones that can vary in size and shape from person to person.
2. They are positioned side by side in the middle and top of the face and, when they come together, they form the bridge of the upper section of the nose.
   

Option C:

Ligaments are elastomeric tissue bands that attach bones to one another and give the joint stability and strength.

Final answer:
The supportive skeletal structures in the human external ears and in the nose tip are examples of Cartilages.
