24. Which of the following cartilaginous joints is found only in young, growing people? (A) costochondral joint. (B) pubic symphysis. (C) intervertebral disc. (D) epiphyseal plate. 25. A herniated disc is caused by (A) loss of bursae; (B) slippage of the fibrocartilage disc; (C) ossification of the vertebral disc; (D) protrusion of the nucleus pulposus; (E) transformation of fibrocartilage to hyaline cartilage. 26. Which statement best describes a BURSA? (A) It is composed of hyaline cartilage that provides a smooth surface on which bones articulate. (B) It is a synovial fluid-filled structure lined with synovial membrane on its inner surface. (C) It connects two bones to strengthen and reinforce the articulating bones. (D) It is a structural component of skeletal muscle composed of dense regular collagenous connective tissue. 27. Which of the following is NOT a function of synovial fluid? (A) prevent extreme movements; (B) lubricate; (C) nutrient carrier; (D) shock absorber.

In vertebrates, cartilage is found in fetal bones, ears, and intervertebral discs, whereas bone is found in the skeleton. What are the similarities between cartilage and bone? a. Both are types of connective tissue in the body and cells of both are known as chondrocytes. b. Both are types of connective tissue in the body and have non-vascular organic matrix material that provides strength and flexibility. c. Both are types of connective tissue in the body and have organic matrix material that provides strength and flexibility. d. Both consist of bone marrow and have organic matrix material that provides strength and flexibility.
