Question

Inter-vertebral disc consists of a shock absorber connective tissue, known as

• A. Hyaline cartilage
• B. Elastic cartilage
• C. Fibrocartilage
• D. Reticulo cartilage
• E. Calcified cartilage

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fibrocartilage

Intervertebral disc lies between adjacent vertebrae in the spine. Each disc forms a fibrocartilaginous joint to allow slight movement of the vertebrae and acts as a ligament to hold the vertebrae together. Their important role is that they act as shock absorber.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (C), 'Fibrocartilage'.
