Question

abled: midterm exam place the following cartilage location in the appropriate category with what type of cartilage is found in that location. labels drop zones reset all nasal septum thyroid cartilage of the larynx intervertebral discs external ear tracheal rings eustachian tube pubic symphysis epiglottis articular surface in the knee (menisci) hyaline cartilage (1/3) elastic cartilage (2/3) fibrocartilage (3/3)

Explanation:

Hyaline cartilage is found in areas like the nasal septum, thyroid cartilage of the larynx, and tracheal rings due to its smooth, flexible nature for support and movement. Elastic cartilage is present in the external ear, eustachian tube, and epiglottis as it provides elasticity and maintains shape. Fibrocartilage is in intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, and articular surface in the knee (menisci) because of its high - tensile strength to withstand compression and shear forces.

Answer:

Hyaline Cartilage: nasal septum, thyroid cartilage of the larynx, tracheal rings
Elastic Cartilage: external ear, eustachian tube, epiglottis
Fibrocartilage: intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, articular surface in the knee (menisci)
