Question

match the following type of connective tissue with an appropriate location: fibrocartilage. answer options: intervertebral discs; pubis symphysis; menisci of knee joint; bone marrow; spleen; lymph nodes; hypodermis; in mesenteries; surrounding kidneys; posterior to eyeballs; supports external ear, epiglottis; ligaments; tendons; aponeuroses; i dont know yet

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the locations of fibrocartilage. Fibrocartilage is found in intervertebral discs, pubis symphysis, and menisci of the knee joint. Let's analyze other options:

• "Bone marrow; spleen; lymph nodes" are locations of reticular connective tissue.
• "Hypodermis; in mesenteries; surrounding kidneys; posterior to eyeballs" are locations of adipose tissue.
• "Supports external ear, epiglottis" is elastic cartilage.
• "Ligaments; tendons; aponeuroses" are dense regular connective tissue.

So the correct match for fibrocartilage is the first option.

Answer:

A. Intervertebral discs; pubis symphysis; menisci of knee joint
