Which type of cartilage is found in your trachea, nose, larynx and cartilage of ribs?
A
elastic cartilage
B
hyaline cartilage
C
fibrocartilage
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyaline cartilage is the most widespread and is the type that makes up the embryonic skeleton. It persists in human adults at the ends of bones in free-moving joints as articular cartilage, at the ends of the ribs, and in the nose, larynx, trachea, and…

Detailed explanation-2: -Hyaline-most common, found in the ribs, nose, larynx, trachea.

Detailed explanation-3: -Human nasal cartilage is hyaline cartilage, although the function and loads placed on it are different depending on the location. We hypothesized that important differences exist between the nasal septal cartilage and lower lateral cartilage (LLC) ultrastructures.

Detailed explanation-4: -The thyroid cartilage is the largest cartilage of the larynx and is composed of hyaline cartilage.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hyaline cartilage exists on the sternal ends of the ribs, in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, and on the articulating surfaces of bones. It gives the structures a definite but pliable form. The presence of collagen fibres makes such structures and joints strong, but with limited mobility and flexibility.
