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.
Which of the following tissues 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.
Which is a flexible connective tissue that is found in your nose and ears?
Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans and other animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial tubes, and the intervertebral discs.
What is the name of flexible bone?
It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is much stiffer and much less flexible than muscle. The matrix of cartilage is made up of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, collagen fibers and, sometimes, elastin….

Is the flexible tissue present in the nose?
Explanation: The flexible tissue found in the nasal septum and in the ears is called cartilage . Cartilage is one of the human body’s many connective tissues, and is found between vertebrae, in joints between bones, in the rib cage, in the nose and ear, and in the bronchial tubes. Cartilage is dense and non-vascular.
What is flexible tissue?
Flexibility is the ability of a joint or series of joints to move through an unrestricted, pain free range of motion. These soft tissues include: muscles, ligaments, tendons, joint capsules, and skin.
What is flexibility discuss the various types of flexibility in brief?
Flexibility exercises stretch your muscles and may improve your range of motion at your joints. There are two types of flexibility exercises: static stretching, in which you stretch a muscle without moving, and dynamic stretching, which combines stretching with movements.
What are examples of elastic cartilage?
The external ear is an example of elastic cartilage, and the meniscus and annulus fibrosus of the IVD, which will be discussed later, are examples of fibrocartilaginous tissues. Articular cartilage is an example of hyaline cartilage, the most common type.
Which of the following is formed by elastic cartilage?
Elastic cartilage or yellow cartilage is a type of cartilage present in the pinnae (auricles) of the ear giving it shape, provides shape for the lateral region of the external auditory meatus, medial part of the auditory canal Eustachian tube, corniculate and cuneiform laryneal cartilages, and the epiglottis.
