Q: Q: The nail bed is a specialized structure of the epidermis that is found at the tips of our what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Nails The nail bed is a specialized structure of the epidermis that is found at the tips of our fingers and toes. The nail body is formed on the nail bed, and protects the tips of our fingers and toes as they are the farthest extremities and the parts of the body that experience the maximum mechanical stress (Figure 5.13). In addition, the nail body forms a back-support for picking up small objects with the fingers. The nail body is composed of densely packed dead keratinocytes. The epidermis in this part of the body has evolved a specialized structure upon which nails can form. The nail body forms at the nail root, which has a matrix of proliferating cells from the stratum basale that enables the nail to grow continuously. The lateral nail fold overlaps the nail on the sides, helping to anchor the nail body. The nail fold that meets the proximal end of the nail body forms the nail cuticle, also called the eponychium. The nail bed is rich in blood vessels, making it appear pink, except at the base, where a thick layer of epithelium over the nail matrix forms a crescent-shaped region called the lunula (the "little moon"). The area beneath the free edge of the nail, furthest from the cuticle, is called the hyponychium. It consists of a thickened layer of stratum corneum. Choices: - fingers, nails, and scalp - only nails - only fingers - fingers and toes A:

Q: Q: Females of what mammalian group have mammary glands but lack nipples? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Monotreme eggs have a leathery shell, like the eggs of reptiles. The eggs are retained inside the mother's body for at least a couple of weeks. During that time, the mother provides the eggs with nutrients. Platypus females lay their eggs in a burrow. Echidna females have a pouch in which they store their eggs. Female monotremes have mammary glands but lack nipples. Instead, they "sweat" milk from a patch on their belly. Choices: - prosauropod - Eutheria - Metatheria - monotreme A:
A: monotreme
