Chromic catgut is made up of ____________?
Correct answer: A. Sheep gut
- A. Sheep gut
- B. Cat gut
- C. Kangaroo gut
- D. dog gut
Explanation
Chromic catgut is a surgical absorbable suture traditionally prepared from purified sheep intestinal tissue and treated with chromium salts to slow its absorption. It is not made from cats, despite the misleading name, and the listed dog and kangaroo sources are not the standard source. Students commonly choose cat gut because of the word catgut, which is a historical naming misconception.
