The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is (B) :  Hyaline cartilage

A supporting connective tissue that is flexible but robust is cartilage. Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage are the three different forms of cartilage. The most prevalent and transparent form of cartilage is hyaline cartilage. The nose, ears, trachea, larynx, and smaller respiratory tubes all include it as supporting tissues. Additionally, it can be seen on the extremities of long bones and the ventral ends of ribs. It is present as articular cartilage (synovial joints) on various joint surfaces as well as on the articular surface of bones. Hyaline cartilage serves as a shock-absorbing tissue and minimises friction in this area. The majority of the embryonic skeleton is made of hyaline cartilage, which is the precursor of bone.

Animal Tissues

Human bodies, like most animal bodies, are made up of four different types of tissue:

Epithelial Tissue:

This tissue forms the outer layer of the body and also lines many of the body's cavities where it has a protective function.

General functions of epithelial tissue:-

  1. Provides a barrier between the external environment and the organ that it is covering.
  2. Specialized to function in secretion and absorption.
  3. Protects organisms from microorganisms, injury, and fluid loss.

Connective Tissue:

This tissue assists in the support and protection of organs and limbs and depending on the location in the body it may join or separate organs or parts of the body.

Muscle Tissue:

This tissue enables various forms of movement, both voluntary and involuntary.

Nerve Tissue:

This tissue is responsible for the carrying of electrical and chemical signals and impulses from the brain and central nervous system to the periphery, and vice versa.
