Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The above statement is “false.” The structure and function of the body are actually inseparable. In anatomy and physiology, structure determines function so the way a body part looks hints at what that body part does.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct option is ‘Muscle attachment’.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first seven bones are called the true ribs. These bones are connected to the spine (the backbone) in back. In the front, the true ribs are connected directly to the breastbone or sternum by a strips of cartilage called the costal cartilage. The next three pairs of bones are called false ribs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bones consist mostly of the protein collagen, which forms a soft framework. The mineral calcium phosphate hardens this framework, giving it strength. The bones contain 99% of the body’s calcium. Bones have an internal structure similar to a honeycomb, which makes them rigid yet relatively light.
