Concept explainers
Introduction: A substance that forms the skeleton of the body is known as a bone. It is a rigid organ that is found to be composed of bone tissues. It provides structure and support to the body, protects various organs, stores minerals, enables motility, and produces red and white blood cells.
Answer to Problem 1CA
Correct answer: d. all of the above.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct answer:
A bone might appear to be inert because of the presence of nonliving material in the extracellular matrix of the bone tissue. However, the bones also possess the active, living tissues such as bone tissue, nervous tissue, and blood.
Option d. is given as “all of the above”.
Hence, the correct answer is option d.
Reasons for incorrect answers:
Option a. is given as “blood”.
Blood alone is not the active living tissue found in the bone. The bones also contain other living tissues such as nervous and bone tissues. Therefore, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as “nervous tissue”.
Nervous tissue alone is not the active living tissue found in the bone. The bones also contain other living tissues such as blood and bone tissues. Therefore, option b. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as “bone tissue”.
Bone tissue alone is not the active living tissue found in the bone. The bones also contain other living tissues such as blood and nervous tissues. Therefore, option c. is incorrect.
Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.
Thus, the active, living tissue found in the bone includes all the three options mentioning the blood, nervous tissue, and bone tissue.
