Question
Chapter 27.2, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The type of cells those are responsible for forming cartilage.
Introduction:
Cartilage is an important structural component of the body. It is a firm tissue, but softer and more flexible than the bone. It is a connective tissue found in the areas of the body including elbows, knees, ankles, end of ribs, bronchial tubes, ears and nose, etc.
