Both a and b
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. ShoulderExplanation
The shoulder is an example of a ball and socket joint. This type of joint allows for a wide range of motion in multiple directions. The ball-shaped head of the upper arm bone fits into the cup-shaped socket of the shoulder blade, allowing for movements such as rotation, flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction. The knee and elbow, on the other hand, are hinge joints that allow for back-and-forth movements in one plane only, while the shoulder joint provides a greater range of motion.Rate this question:

Secondly, it provides a smooth and durable material for joints, allowing for smooth movement and reducing the risk of damage. Lastly, cartilage allows bones to rub against each other without causing damage, facilitating smooth articulation. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the Above" as all the mentioned purposes are fulfilled by cartilage.Rate this question:

What tough tissue grows over a broken bone during the healing process?
-
Collagen
-
Trabecular Bone
-
Concellous Bone

Red Bone Marrow

Correct Answer
A. CollagenExplanation
During the healing process of a broken bone, collagen, a tough tissue, grows over the fracture site. Collagen is a protein that provides strength and support to various tissues in the body. In the case of bone healing, collagen forms a callus, which is a temporary bridge of new bone tissue that helps stabilize and protect the fracture. Over time, this callus is gradually replaced by new bone tissue, allowing the broken bone to heal and regain its strength.Rate this question:
