Question

which statement justifies the claim that the organ system of the bones differs from most other organ systems? a the bone organ system is comprised entirely of organs rather than tissues. b the bone organ system is the only system comprised entirely of cells but not tissues. c the bone organs system continues to generate skeletal development even after the gestational period of the fetus. d the bone organ system is the only system in the body where dietary intake affects the generation of tissues that make up the organs.

Explanation:

• Option A: Organ systems are made of tissues and organs. Bones (organs) are part of the skeletal system which has connective tissues (like ligaments). So this option is incorrect.
• Option B: All organ systems are made of cells and tissues. Bones (organs in the skeletal system) have connective tissues. So this option is incorrect.
• Option C: The skeletal (bone) system continues to develop (e.g., bone remodeling, growth in length until full - maturity) even after the fetal gestational period. Most other systems (e.g., digestive system structure is mostly formed by birth and just matures in function) do not have such a long - term skeletal - like development process.
• Option D: Dietary intake affects many systems. For example, the digestive system (nutrient absorption) and the circulatory system (cholesterol from diet affecting blood vessels). So this option is incorrect.

Answer:

C. The bone organs system continues to generate skeletal development even after the gestational period of the fetus.
