Most Tendons and Ligaments Consist of Hyaline Cartilage

Question

Most tendons and ligaments consist of hyaline cartilage.

Accepted Answer

Tendons and ligaments are made up of dense regular connective tissue, which is primarily composed of collagen fibers, not hyaline cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is found in joint surfaces, the trachea and bronchi, and the nasal septum, among other locations.
