Question

question 5 (mandatory) (1 point) what is the difference between elastic connective tissue and elastic cartilage? elastic tissue contain elastic fibers while elastic cartilage does not contain elastic fibers elastic tissue is elastic while elastic cartilage is not elastic elastic tissue is found in tendons while elastic cartilage is found in epiglottis elastic tissue is a dense connective tissue while elastic cartilage is a supportive connective tissue question 6 (mandatory) (1 point) saved

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: Elastic tissue (a type of dense connective tissue) has elastic fibers for flexibility. Elastic cartilage (a supportive connective tissue) provides support with some elasticity (e.g., in epiglottis, ear). This matches their definitions.
2. Analyze Option 2: Both elastic tissue and elastic cartilage are elastic (elastic cartilage has elastic fibers in its matrix), so this is incorrect.
3. Analyze Option 3: Elastic tissue isn't found in tendons (tendons have dense regular connective tissue with collagen), and elastic cartilage is in structures like epiglottis/ear, but the tissue type classification (dense vs supportive connective) is more fundamental to their difference than location, and the location statement here is wrong.
4. Analyze Option 4: Elastic cartilage does contain elastic fibers (part of its matrix), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

The correct option is: elastic tissue is a dense connective tissue while elastic cartilage is a supportive connective tissue
