Answer:

C. Contains chondrocytes located in lacunae

Cartilage matrix is made mainly of proteoglycans and collagen. Chondrocyte is round or polygonal in shape. More the number of chondrocytes, bendier the cartilage.

Which chamber of the heart generates the highest blood pressure?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

d. left ventricle

Explanation:

Heart consists of four chambers: left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle and right ventricle. The atria are located above the ventricles and their function is to  pump blood to the ventricles.

Right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs via pulmonary artery. Pulmonary vein brings back oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium. From here the blood is sent to left ventricle. Left ventricle pumps blood to the entire body via aorta. Since it has to make blood reach to every part of the body from head to toes, it generates maximum pressure. Therefore, left ventricle also has thickest heart muscles.
