Question

what type of cartilage makes up the intervertebral disks?
a fibrocartilage
b hyaline cartilage
c elastic cartilage

Explanation:

Intervertebral disks need to withstand compression and provide some flexibility. Fibrocartilage is strong and can handle these mechanical stresses well, which is why it makes up the intervertebral disks. Hyaline cartilage is more common in areas like the ends of long - bones and the nose. Elastic cartilage is found in structures like the external ear for its elasticity.

Answer:

A. Fibrocartilage
