Question

Cartilages are mostly made up of

• A. calcium salts
• B. chondroitin salts
• C. collagen fibres
• D. all of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B chondroitin salts

Bones are specialized connective tissues with hard and non-pliable matrices. The ground substance is made up of calcium salts and collagen fibres that give strength and hardness to the bones.
Cartilages are specialized connective tissues with flexible and slightly pliable matrices due to the presence of chondroitin salts.
