• A. A- Blood vessel, B- Capsular matrix, C- Perichondrium, D- Lacunae, E- Chondrin, F- Chondrocytes
• B. A- Bloodvessel, B- Perichondrium, C- chondrin, D- Lacunae, E- Chondrocytes, F- Capsular matrix
• C. A- Blood vessel, B- Chondrin, C- Perichondrium, D- Lacunae, E- Chondrocytes, F- Capsular matrix
  
• D. A- Capsular matrix, B- chondrin, C- Perichondrium, D- Lacunae, E- Chondrocytes, F- Blood vessel
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B A- Bloodvessel, B- Perichondrium, C- chondrin, D- Lacunae, E- Chondrocytes, F- Capsular matrix

Cartilage is a flexible type of connective tissue found in the human body. (A) represents the blood vessels. The blood vessels are present only in the outer region of the cartilage tissue. (B) represents the perichondrium. The perichondrium is a fibrous layer. The layer is comprised of immature cartilage cells called the chondroblasts. (C) represents chondrin. Chodrin is a protein which is present in the matrix. (D) represents lacunae. The chondroblasts mature to form chondrocytes (E). There are about 2-3 chondrocytes in fluid filled chambers called as lacunae. There is capsular matrix (F) in which these chondrocytes are embedded.

So, the correct answer is option B.
