Explanation:

These questions are about human anatomy and physiology, which falls under the Natural Science discipline, specifically in the subfield of Biology (more precisely, Human Biology or Anatomy). Let's answer each question:

Question 8:

The tissue that binds, supports, and protects body parts is connective tissue. Epithelial tissue covers surfaces, muscle tissue is for movement, and nervous tissue is for control/communication. So the answer is b. Connective tissue.

Question 9:

Muscle tissue is fit for movement, so the answer is a. muscle (assuming the option is "muscle" as the typo - "Another term for fat is tissue" was likely a misprint, but if it's about muscle, muscle tissue is for movement). Wait, if it's "Another term for fat is tissue", fat is adipose tissue, but the options given: a. nerve, b. muscle, c. epithelial, d. adipose. So if the question was "Another term for fat is tissue", the answer is d. adipose. But the original question says "Another term for fat is it __ tissue" (typo). Assuming the correct question is about fat, adipose tissue is fat. But if it's about muscle, muscle is for movement. Maybe a typo, but likely adipose for fat.

Question 10:

The tissue that controls and coordinates body functions is nervous tissue? Wait, no: endocrine tissue (glands) secrete hormones, but nervous tissue is for rapid control. Wait, the options: a. endocrine, b. epithelial, c. connective, d. nervous. Nervous tissue controls and coordinates (via electrical signals), endocrine via hormones (slower). So the answer is d. nervous.

Question 11:

The physical foundation of the body with bones connected by joints is the skeletal system. The nervous system is for control, muscular for movement, endocrine for hormones. So answer is b. skeletal system.

Question 12:

Joint pain is often caused by inflammation of tissue surrounding the joint (a. inflammation of tissue surrounding the joint) or damage to the joint itself. But more commonly, conditions like arthritis involve inflammation of the synovial tissue around joints. So answer is a. inflammation of tissue surrounding the joint.

Question 13:

The skull consists of the cranium (brain case) and facial bones. Temporal and occipital are part of cranium, sphenoid and hyoid - hyoid is not part of skull (it's a neck bone), vertebrae and discs are spine, so the answer is d. cranium and facial bones.

Question 14:

The facial skeleton has 14 bones (mandible, maxillae, zygomatics, nasals, lacrimals, palatines, vomer, inferior nasal conchae - 2 of some, total 14). So answer is d. Fourteen.

Question 15:

The bone forming the back of the skull above the nape (neck) is the occipital bone. Temporal is side, mandible is jaw, frontal is front. So answer is c. occipital.

Answer:

1. b. Connective tissue
2. d. adipose (if about fat) or a. muscle (if about movement - likely typo, but adipose for fat)
3. d. nervous
4. b. skeletal system
5. a. inflammation of tissue surrounding the joint
6. d. cranium and facial bones
7. d. Fourteen
8. c. occipital

(Note: For question 9, there was a typo in the original question, but based on options, if it's about fat, "adipose" is correct; if it's a misprint and should be about muscle, "muscle" is for movement. Assuming the question was about fat, answer is d. adipose.)
