A. CartilageExplanation
The nose and ears are made of cartilage. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that provides structure and support to various parts of the body. It is softer and more pliable than bone, allowing the nose and ears to be flexible and able to move. Unlike bone, cartilage does not contain blood vessels or nerves, which makes it less susceptible to injury and pain.Rate this question:

Men and Women have the exact same skeletons
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Men and women do not have the exact same skeletons. While the basic structure of the skeleton is similar, there are some differences between male and female skeletons. These differences are primarily due to factors such as hormones and genetics. For example, male skeletons tend to be larger and have more robust features, while female skeletons are generally smaller and have more delicate features. Additionally, there are differences in the pelvis, with females having a wider pelvis to accommodate childbirth. Overall, these differences in skeletal structure contribute to the physical distinctions between men and women.Rate this question:
