Question

During an injury, if nasal septum gets damaged, which cartilage is perfused for its recovery?

• A. Hyaline cartilage
• B. Elastic cartilage
• C. Calcified cartilage
• D. Fibro cartilage

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hyaline cartilage

Nasal septum separates the left and right airways in the nose, dividing the two nostrils. It is composed primarily of hyaline cartilage, which is densely packed with collagen. Hyaline cartilage is found lining articular surfaces, and in the nasal septum, tracheal rings, costal cartilages and the epiphyseal cartilage of growing bones. So, if the nasal septum is damaged, for its recovery, hyaline cartilage will be perfused.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
