Question

question 28
both chondrocytes and osteocytes are found within these empty circular cavities known as:
○ collagen
○ elastic fibers
○ platelets
○ lacunae

question 29
what is a defining feature of all cartilage tissues?
○ elastic fibers
○ chondrocytes
○ reticular fibers
○ adipocytes

Explanation:

• For Question 28: Chondrocytes in cartilage and osteocytes in bone are located in lacunae, which are small empty - circular cavities. Collagen is a protein, elastic fibers provide elasticity, and platelets are involved in blood clotting.
• For Question 29: Chondrocytes are the cells that are characteristic of cartilage tissue. Elastic fibers, reticular fibers are types of fibers in connective tissues, and adipocytes are fat cells.

Answer:

• Question 28: D. lacunae
• Question 29: B. chondrocytes
