Question
x-rays cannot pass through which of the following? answer options: select one of four skin tendon bones muscles
X - rays can pass through less dense tissues like skin, tendons, and muscles as they have lower atomic number components. Bones are dense and contain calcium (higher atomic number), so X - rays have difficulty passing through them. This is the principle behind X - ray imaging in medicine, where bones appear white (blocking X - rays) and softer tissues appear darker (allowing X - rays through).
