Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function and location of the menisci in the knee joint. The menisci are crescent-shaped cartilages that act as shock absorbers and stabilize the knee joint.

Identify the types of cartilage and connective tissues mentioned in the options: fibrocartilage, hyaline cartilage, dense connective tissue, and elastic connective tissue.

Fibrocartilage is known for its toughness and ability to withstand pressure, making it suitable for areas like the menisci that endure significant stress.

Hyaline cartilage is more flexible and smooth, typically found in areas like the nose and at the ends of long bones, but not in the menisci.

Dense connective tissue, similar to ligaments and tendons, provides strong attachment but is not the primary composition of the menisci. Elastic connective tissue is more flexible and found in structures like the ear, not the menisci.
