Question

In the diagram of a section of hylaine cartilage, the different parts have been indicated by alphabets. Choose the correct match.

• A. a - chondrin, b - chondrocyte, c - lacuna, d - capsular matrix, e - perichondrium
• B. a - chondrin, b - lacuna, c - chondrocyte, d- capsular matrix, e - perichondrium
• C. a - perichondrium, b - chondrocyte, c - lacuna, d - capsular matrix, e - chondrin
• D. a - capsular matrix, b - chondrocyte, c - lacuna, d - perichondrium, e - chondrin

Answer 1

The correct option is A a - chondrin, b - chondrocyte, c - lacuna, d - capsular matrix, e - perichondrium

A detailed histological diagram given above helps to identify the given structures in the section of Hyaline cartilage.

• The ground substance of which the cartilage is composed of, called chondrin is labelled A.
  
• The cells comprising the cartilage, called chondrocytes are labelled B.
• The chondrocytes are present in spaces, called lacunae, labelled C.
• The capsulated matrix is labelled as D.
• The outermost layer covering the cartilage is Perichondrium labelled as E.

Hyaline cartilage is found in fetal skeleton, ends of adult bones (articular cartilage), costal cartilages, trachea, bronchi and larynx.

So, the correct option is 'a - chondrin, b - chondrocyte, c - lacuna, d - capsular matrix, e - perichondrium'.
