Introduction:
Bone and cartilages are types of connective tissue. The skeleton system of the human body is made up of bones of different shapes and sizes. Long bones are present in arms and legs. Wrist bones are short bones. Skull is made up of flat bones. Vertebrae and facial bones are irregular bones.

Answer to Problem 19A
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (b) it contains bone marrow.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (b) it contains bone marrow. In a diagram part marked is spongy bone. Spongy bone is present in the centre of short and flat bone. In long bones, they are found on the ends. Spongy bone is less dense and contains many cavities that have bone marrow. Thus, it contains bone marrow is a correct answer.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) it contains no living cells. In the diagram, the part marked is a spongy bone. Spongy bone contains bone marrow in cavities present in them. Bone marrow is of two types red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow. Blood cells are produced inside red bone marrow. Thus, it contains no living cell and cannot be a characteristic of spongy bone.
Option (c) it is the only type of bone tissue in long bones. Spongy bones are present on the ends of the long bones. The outer layer of all bones is made up of compact bones. Thus, this cannot be a correct answer as both compact and spongy types of bones are present.
Option (d) it is made up of overlapping osteon systems. The Osteon system is also known as the Haversian system. It is a tube-like structure that contains blood vessels and nerves. Osteon is present in compact bone. Thus, it cannot be a characteristic of spongy bone.
Spongy bone is present in a centre of short and flat bones and in long bones they are present at ends. Spongy bone contains many cavities that have bone marrow in it. Thus, option (b) it contains bone marrow is the correct answer.

Does the neural crest differentiate into different cell types based on their axial position along the anterior and posterior axis?arrow_forwardUsing quail and chicken embryos, what kind of experiment would you conduct to test if rib forming somites have their axial identity specified before segmentation? How do we know this phenotype is due to axial identity being specified before segmentation and not due to our experimental method?arrow_forward

The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid.
