Question

a person has a condition that makes her bones weak and easily broken. what part of the bone is most likely the cause of this condition?
a. foramina tissue
b. spongy tissue
c. compact tissue
d. bone marrow

Explanation:

Compact tissue provides strength and rigidity to bones. If it is affected (e.g., in conditions like osteoporosis where bone density is reduced), bones become weak and more prone to fractures. Spongy tissue (B) is lighter and has other functions like housing bone marrow. Foramina (A) are openings in bones for nerves/vessels. Bone marrow (D) is for blood cell production. So, the problem is most likely related to compact tissue.

Answer:

C. Compact tissue
