Explanation:

Question 72

The term "genu" in medical terminology refers to the knee. So "genu osteoporosis" means the osteoporosis is located in the knee. The other options: ankle is related to "talus" or "tarsus" terms, back has terms like "dorsal" or "vertebral", jaw is "mandible" or "maxilla" related. So the correct option is knee.

Cartilage is a gristle - like connective tissue that can be found between bones (e.g., articular cartilage in joints). Ligaments connect bones to other bones, tendons connect muscles to bones, and adipose is fat tissue. So the correct option is Cartilage.

Answer:

D. knee (assuming the options are labeled A: ankle, B: back, C: jaw, D: knee)
