During an anatomy lab, Maya examined a long bone under a microscope. She noticed that the outer layer of the bone was very dense and solid, providing strength. Inside, she saw a network of porous, lightweight tissue that looked like a honeycomb. The professor explained that these two types of bone tissue have different structures and functions. Question:Which statement best explains the difference between the two types of bone tissue Maya observed?

  A 25-year-old athlete suffers a knee injury affecting the smooth surfaces of the joint where the femur and tibia meet. The doctor explains that the cushioning and smooth movement in this joint are due to a type of cartilage that covers the ends of bones. This cartilage provides flexibility and support while reducing friction during movement. Question:Which type of cartilage is described, and what key characteristic allows it to reduce friction in joints?

A biology student wants to investigate how light affects plant growth. She starts by asking a question, then forms a hypothesis. Next, she designs an experiment to test her hypothesis, collects data, analyzes the results, and finally draws a conclusion. Question:Which of the following lists the steps of the scientific method in the correct order?

After completing a dissection lab, students are instructed to clean up their workstations. Jamie finishes examining a preserved sheep kidney and is unsure where to dispose of the used tissue and gloves. The lab manual states that all preserved animal parts and contaminated materials must be handled with care. All used preserved animal parts should be placed in a ________ first before disposal.

A patient undergoing a bone marrow biopsy is informed that the connective tissue supporting the framework of their bone marrow and lymphoid organs is composed of a specialized network. This network is critical for providing structural support to blood-forming cells and immune cells while allowing free movement of fluids and cells. Question:Which type of connective tissue best fits this description, and what is its primary function?

A 45-year-old patient is admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain and signs of inflammation. Imaging reveals fluid accumulation and inflammation within the abdominal cavity. The attending physician explains that the inflammation affects the serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity, which normally reduces friction between the abdominal organs during movement. Understanding the anatomy and function of this membrane is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. In cases of peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum), which of the following complications is most likely to occur due to the membrane’s function?
