Question

Which of the following is not a characteristic feature of cartilage?

• A. It is softer and more flexible than bone.
• B. It is found in the external ear.
• C. It is a part of the circulatory system of the body.
• D. It can bend but resists stretching.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

It is a part of the circulatory system of the body.

Cartilage is a firm, flexible tissue found where movement is required and hence present in the external ear and the nose. Though capable of bending, it does not stretch. All the bones of the body along with cartilage together form the skeletal system.
