Question

In the given diagram of a section of hyaline cartilage, the different parts have been indicated by alphabets. Choose the answer in which these alphabets correctly match with parts they indicate.

• 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-chondrocytes, 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- Chondrin: A gel-like proteinaceous substance.
  
• b- Chondrocyte: Larger, more sound/ mature cells of cartilage.
  
• c- Lacuna: A cartilage cell is present in a fluid-filled space, cartilage lacuna.
  
• d- Cartilage matrix: Consists of water, proteoglycan lipid, a non-collagenous protein, and collagen fibers.
  
• e- Perichondrium: Fibrous membrane covering the free surface of hyaline cartilage.
  

So, the correct answer is option A.
