Ans: A, B
Feedback:
The fibrocartilaginous intervertebral disks between the vertebrae consist of binding connective tissue that holds the vertebrae together. These joints provide strength and shock absorption as well as considerable flexibility. Fibrocartilage is less flexible than other types of cartilage, and hyaline cartilage, not fibrocartilage, contributes to bone growth. Fibrocartilage does not contribute to tissue hydration.
