Question

multiple choice 2 points
which of the following tissues is not found as part of a long bone?
osseous tissue
nervous tissue
cartilage
transitional epithelium
adipose tissue

Explanation:

Analyze the components of a long bone

A long bone is an organ containing several tissue types:

• Osseous tissue: Forms the bulk of the bone structure (compact and spongy bone).
• Nervous tissue: Innervates the bone (found in the periosteum and accompanying blood vessels).
• Cartilage: Articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) covers the epiphyses at joints.
• Adipose tissue: Found within the yellow bone marrow of the medullary cavity.

Identify the tissue not associated with long bones

• Transitional epithelium: A specialized type of multi-layered epithelium that is highly stretchable, found exclusively lining urinary system organs (such as the urinary bladder, ureters, and parts of the urethra). It is not present in long bones.

Answer:

• Osseous tissue
• Nervous tissue
• Cartilage
• Transitional epithelium (Correct answer)
• Adipose tissue
