What type of connective tissue forms the flexible soft part of the nasal septum?
The fleshy external end of the nasal septum is called the columella or columella nasi, and is made up of cartilage and soft tissue. The nasal septum contains bone and hyaline cartilage.
What forms the flexible part of the nose?
The framework of the nose consists of bone and cartilage. Two small nasal bones and extensions of the maxillae form the bridge of the nose, which is the bony portion. The remainder of the framework is cartilage and is the flexible portion.
What type of connective tissue is in the main portion of the nose?
Hyaline cartilage is the most common type in the body. This cartilage type is found in the larynx, nose, ribs, and trachea. A very thin layer of cartilage is also present on bony surfaces, such as over joints, to cushion them. This hyaline cartilage is known as articular cartilage.
Which type of tissue forms the flexible curve of your outer ear?
The external ear’s flexible structure is maintained by elastic cartilage, which is covered in skin and attached to the skull with ligaments and muscles. The skin of the pinna is rich in sebaceous glands, which serve to protect the ear from cracking.
Which type of connective tissue has the greatest tensile strength?
Collagen
Collagen: Collagen fibers are the strongest and most abundant of all the connective tissue fibers. Collagen fibers are fibrous proteins and are secreted into the extracellular space and they provide high tensile strength to the matrix.
What cells are arranged around central canal?

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cells in a solid matrix arranged around central canal | Bone |
| Binds skin to underlying organs | Areolar connective |
| Main tissue of tendons and ligaments | Dense regular connective |
| Forms the flexible part of the nasal septum and ends of long bones | Hyaline cartilage |
What is the toughest cartilage?
Fibrocartilage
Fibrocartilage contains even more collagen fibers than hyaline cartilage. It’s the most rigid type of cartilage and can be found in intervertebral discs in the spine. It’s also the strongest type of cartilage.
What is the space between your nostrils called?
The nostrils and the nasal passages are separated by a wall called the septum (say: SEP-tum). Deep inside your nose, close to your skull, your septum is made of very thin pieces of bone. Behind your nose, in the middle of your face, is a space called the nasal cavity.
