It has two types of tissues: the red pulp tissue and the white pulp tissue. The red pulp tissue is the one who checks the levels of red blood cells storaged in our body and gets rid of the bad, preventing any risk of getting an infection.

hyaline 3. forms the walls of the voice box (larynx)

elastic 4. the epiglottis

hyaline 5. articular cartilages

fibrocartilage 6. meniscus in a knee joint

hyaline 7. connects the ribs to the sternum

fibrocartilage 8. most effective at resisting compression

elastic 9. most springy and flexible

hyaline 10. most abundant

Explanation:

Cartilage is a type of <u>connective tissue</u> that is characterized by being avascular and very flexible. There are three types of cartilages that can be differentiated by their histological properties, their function and their specific location in the body.

Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant and can be commonly found in articulations.

Fibrocartilage presents a mix of cartilage tissue and collagen fibers, making it tougher than the other types.

Elastic cartilage is much more flexible because it has elastic fibers and is found in places where this flexibility is needed (like the epiglottis).

EXTRA PONITS AND BEST ANSWER. HELP FAST PLEASE!!!!!! A group of scientist are conducting experiments using and enzyme they have

Sholpan [36]

The best answer is A. Enzymes work best at a certain temperature, so that if the enzyme is outside it’s ideal temperature, it won’t function normally.
B and C are incorrect because enzymes are made of amino acids, not nucleus acids or simple sugars.
Because the scientists extracted the enzyme from the organism, the amino acid sequence cannot be different between the enzyme and the enzyme in the blood. Thus, D is incorrect.
