Questions and Answers

What is a characteristic of articular cartilage?

  • It has a perichondrium
  • It undergoes rapid and complete repair
  • It is highly vascular
  • It is replaced from within (correct)

Why does damaged cartilage often undergo incomplete repair?

  • Due to the rapid division of chondroblasts
  • Due to its high metabolic rate
  • Due to the presence of perichondrium
  • Due to its avascularity and low metabolic rate (correct)

What is the precursor for all types of cartilage?

  • Chondroblasts
  • Perichondrium
  • Mesenchyme (correct)
  • Chondrocytes
