Answer 1

The correct answer is "hyaline cartilage".

Step-by-step explanation:

Hyaline cartilage is a type of cartilage that was given this name for being translucent. Hyaline cartilage's structure is relative simple and contains no nerves or blood vessels. It is found on joint surfaces as well as in the ribs, nose, larynx, and trachea. Also, before hard ossified bones are formed, the human embryo starts to develop a miniature version of a skeleton comprised of hyaline cartilage.
