H1: Cartilage is not found in: 

  1. Nose 
  2. Ear 
  3. Kidney 
  4. Larynx

Correct answer: (3) Kidney

Explanation: 

  • Kidneys are the excretory organs of our body, and their function is to purify the blood, reabsorb chemicals and organic molecules from the waste materials of the body and excrete the waste out of our body
  • On the other hand, cartilage is a connective tissue present in our body to provide flexibility and support to various parts of the body
  • Cartilage is found in the nose, ear and larynx but not in the kidney
  • Hyaline cartilage is a type of cartilage found in the nose. It is a kind of rubbery and stretchable tissue that is also found in the larynx
  • In the outer ear, cartilage is present that provides strength
  • Apart from all these, the kidney is made up of structural and functional units called nephrons. The renal tubule and corpuscles that are present in the kidney are made up of cuboidal epithelium tissues
  • Hence, we can conclude that no cartilage is not present in the kidney
