Hyaline cartilage exists in ____
A
our ears
B
our nose
C
our trachea
D
our spine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyaline cartilage provides structural support in the respiratory system (larynx, trachea and bronchi). The airway of the trachea is held open by cartilaginous rings of hyaline cartilage: Perichondrium-a layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds cartilage.

Detailed explanation-2: -The trachea is surrounded by 16 to 20 rings of hyaline cartilage; these ‘rings’ are incomplete and C-shaped. Two or more of the cartilages often unite, partially or completely, and they are sometimes bifurcated at their extremities. The rings are generally highly elastic but they may calcify with age.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘kidney’

Detailed explanation-4: -Hyaline cartilage is found around the bones of free-moving joints. This is known as articular cartilage. Another example of hyaline cartilage is the tissue found in the walls of the respiratory tract. This includes the bronchi, the nose, the rings of the trachea, and the tips of the ribs.
