      Spongy

    • C.

      Both

    Correct Answer
    A. Compact
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "compact." Compact bone is composed of osteons, which are cylindrical structures that make up the dense outer layer of bone. These osteons are tightly packed together, giving compact bone its strength and durability. In contrast, spongy bone is composed of a network of trabeculae, which are thin, branching structures that create a more porous and lightweight interior. Therefore, compact bone is the correct answer as it accurately describes bone tissue that is composed of osteons.

      Both

    Correct Answer
    C. Both
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "both" because both compact and spongy bone contain osteocytes and lacunae. Osteocytes are the mature bone cells that are responsible for maintaining the bone tissue, and lacunae are the small spaces in the bone matrix where the osteocytes are located. Compact bone is dense and forms the outer layer of bones, while spongy bone is less dense and is found in the interior of bones. Both types of bone have osteocytes and lacunae embedded within their structure.

      Osteocytes

    • B.

      Lamellae

    • C.

      Osteons

    • D.

      Mineral salts

    Correct Answer
    D. Mineral salts
    Explanation
    The hardness of bones is due to the presence of mineral salts. These mineral salts, such as calcium and phosphate, contribute to the strength and rigidity of bones. They form a dense matrix within the bone tissue, providing structural support and resistance to compression. Without mineral salts, bones would be more flexible and prone to fractures. Osteocytes, lamellae, and osteons are all components of bone tissue but do not directly contribute to the hardness of bones.
