A tissue sample from the tip of a human nose bends easily under pressure and regains its original shape. The tissue is most likely composed of:

A. Compact bone
B. Hyaline cartilage
✓
C. Skeletal muscle
D. Dense connective tissue

📝 Explanation

Correct: Hyaline cartilage is flexible and resilient, allowing structures like the nose to bend and regain shape. A: Compact bone is rigid. C: Skeletal muscle contracts rather than providing structural flexibility. D: Dense connective tissue lacks the elasticity of cartilage. Concept: Structure-function relationship of cartilage.
