Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of connective tissue has both lacunae and inorganic salts?
A
cartilage
B
dense regular
C
osseous
D
dense irregular
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cartilage is a connective tissue. The cells, called chondrocytes (mature cartilage cells), make the matrix and fibers of the tissue. Chondrocytes are found in spaces within the tissue called “lacunae. ‘’

Detailed explanation-2: -Elastic cartilage (like hyaline cartilage) has chondrocytes located in lacunae and the tissue is surrounded by a perichondrium . Elastic fibers predominate in the ECM.

Detailed explanation-3: -Supportive connective tissue-bone and cartilage-provide structure and strength to the body and protect soft tissues. A few distinct cell types and densely packed fibers in a matrix characterize these tissues. In bone, the matrix is rigid and described as calcified because of the deposited calcium salts.
