Question

8. The connective tissue found in the nose, bronchial and respiratory tract​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cartilage

Cartilage is the type of connective tissue which is highly flexible and less vascular. Cartilage smoothens bone surfaces at joints and is also present at the tip of the nose, outer ear, trachea, and larynx.

The cartilage and mucous membrane of the primary bronchi are similar to that in the trachea. As the branching continues through the bronchial tree, the amount of hyaline cartilage in the walls decreases until it is absent in the smallest bronchioles. As the cartilage decreases, the amount of smooth muscle increases.

Explanation:

Respiratory epithelium is ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium found lining most of the respiratory tract; it is not present in the larynx or pharynx
