Question

If nasal septum gets damaged, it's recovery requires .................. cartilage.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Hyaline cartilage

Hyaline cartilage is transparent. It is found on many joint surfaces. It is pearly bluish in color with firm consistency and has a considerable amount of collagen. It contains no nerves or blood vessels, and its structure is relatively simple. If nasal septum gets damaged then its recovery requires hyaline cartilage.

Hyaline cartilage is covered externally by a fibrous membrane, called the perichondrium, except at the articular ends of bones and also where it is found directly under the skin, i.e., ears and nose. This membrane contains vessels that provide the cartilage with nutrition.

Hence the correct option is C.
