Which characteristic is a similarity among all types of cart
Which characteristic is a similarity among all types of cartilage? Cartilages consist of primarily inorganic phosphates and calcium. All types of cartilage are replaced by bone tissue. All types of cartilages consist of 60-80% water. All types of cartilage lack fibers.
Solution
Cartilage : It is a connective tissue composed of cells called chondrocytes. It forms a supporting framework for some organs, such as walls of airways where it prevents airway collapse. The cartilage is made up of cells called chondroblasts and chondrocytes, an extracellular matrix , made up of 10% of aggrecan, 75% water, and a mix of collagen fibres and other constituents. So, the answer is option D.
