Question

Cartilaginous tissue of intervertebral discs is

• A. Costal cartilage
• B. Hyaline cartilage
• C. White fibrous cartilage
• D. Yellow-elastic cartilage

Answer 1

The correct option is C White fibrous cartilage

• In humans, the vertebral column is formed by 26 serially arranged units called vertebrae and is dorsally placed.
  
• The intervertebral disc is a thin, oval plate of fibrous cartilage.
• Each invertebral disc forms a fibrocartilaginous joint (a symphysis), to allow slight movement of the vertebrae, and acts as a ligament to hold the vertebrae together.
• Cartilaginous tissue of intervertebral discs is white fibrous cartilage.
  
• So, the correct answer is 'White fibrous cartilage'.
