In which of the following connective tissues, the cells secrete fibres of collagen or elastin?
A. Cartilage
B. Done
C. Adipose tissue
D. Blood;E. Areolar tissue
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
A. Cartilage
B. Done
C. Adipose tissue
D. Blood;E. Areolar tissue
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- D, C, D and E only
- A, D, C and E only
- B, C and D only
- A, C and D only
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Fibroblasts are the primary cells responsible for secreting collagen and elastin fibers in connective tissues.
Cartilage, Bone, Adipose tissue, and Areolar tissue: All contain fibroblasts or related cell types (chondrocytes in cartilage, osteoblasts in bone, adipocytes in adipose tissue) that produce collagen or elastin fibers.
Blood: Blood does not contain fibroblasts. Its matrix (plasma) contains various proteins, but these are not secreted by blood cells in the same way that fibroblasts secrete collagen and elastin.

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
