The correct answer to this question in FALSE.
Elastic Connective Tissue
Elastic cartilage
Elastic cartilage is found predominately in the external ear and as well as around the epiglottis. Elastic cartilage is similar to hyaline cartilage, but its matrix contains many elastic fibers along with the delicate collagen fibrils. This cartilage is more elastic than hyaline cartilage and better able to tolerate repeated bending. The epiglottis, which bends down to cover the glottis (opening) of the larynx each time we swallow, is made of elastic cartilage, as is the highly bendable cartilage in the outer ear.
The outer ear is primarily composed of elastic cartilage and fibrocartilage. Elastic cartilage forms the pinna of the ear, while fibrocartilage is found in the external auditory canal. These connective tissues provide structural support and flexibility to the outer ear.
Elastic Cartilage is found on the external ears and larynx.
The three types are collagenous fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers. Some examples of collagenous fibers are; tendons, skin, bone, teeth, hyaline cartilage, vitreous humor, the lens of the eye, cartilage, hair, and placenta. Some examples of elastic fibers are found in arteries, veins, and elastic cartilage. Some examples of reticular fibers are found in the meshwork of bone marrow, the liver, and lymphatic system.
elastic tissue, I had this question as part of my online assignment, I answered it and it was correct ;)
A strong elastic tissue in an animal body is the elastic cartilage, which is found in structures such as the ear and epiglottis. This tissue contains a high density of elastic fibers, allowing it to maintain shape while providing flexibility and resilience. Unlike hyaline cartilage, which is more rigid, elastic cartilage can bend and return to its original form, making it essential for structures that require both support and flexibility.
elastic tissue
No, elastic cartilage does not form tendons. Tendons are primarily composed of dense regular connective tissue, specifically collagen fibers, that attach muscles to bones and provide support for movement. Elastic cartilage, on the other hand, is a type of cartilage that is more flexible and elastic, found in structures like the ear and epiglottis.
Cartilage is flexible connective tissue that is often found in joints near bones. Elastic cartilage is more flexible than hyaline cartilage. It is found between bones in joints to stop them from rubbing of bone tissue and to allow movement without pain. It is white and is shiny and hard. Also it is 10x slipperier than ice.
