Question

Cells of cartilaginous tissue are called as______________

• A. Osteocytes
• B. Choanocytes
• C. Melanocytes
• D. Chondrocytes

Answer 1

The correct option is D Chondrocytes

The chondrocyte is a cell that has secreted the matrix of cartilage and becomes embedded in it. The melanocyte is a mature melanin-forming cell, typically in the skin. The osteocyte is a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted. Choanocytes are cells that line the interior of asconoid, syconoid and leuconoid body type sponges that contain a central flagellum, or undulipodia, surrounded by a collar of microvilli which are connected by a thin membrane. They make up Choanoderm, a type of cell layer found in sponges.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
