Question

Which type of connective tissue is present in the wall of bronchioles?

• A. White fibrous connective tissue
• B. Areolar connective tissue
• C. Yellow fibrous connective tissue
• D. Reticular connective tissue

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Yellow fibrous connective tissue

The walls of bronchioles are composed of yellow fibrous connective. It is highly elastic which stretches on the application of strong force and returns back undamaged when the applied force is retrieved. Elastic fibres are found in the skin, lungs, arteries, veins, connective tissue proper, elastic cartilage, periodontal ligament, fetal tissue and other structures.

So, the correct answer is option C.
