What is the most abundant type of tissue in the human body?.

Carotid artery.

The carotid artery is a major blood vessel that supplies blood to the head and neck. It can be felt as a pulse on either side of the neck, just below the jawline.

Choice A is wrong because the subclavian artery is located below the clavicle (collarbone) and cannot be felt as a pulse on the neck.

Choice C is wrong because the brachiocephalic artery is a large vessel that branches into the right subclavian and right carotid arteries. It is located deep in the chest and cannot be felt as a pulse on the neck.

Choice D is wrong because the basilar artery is a vessel that forms at the base of the brain from the union of the two vertebral arteries. It cannot be felt as a pulse on the neck.

The normal range for pulse rate in adults is 60 to 100 beats per minute.

The esophagus is located in the thoracic cavity, which is the space between the lungs and the chest wall. The thoracic cavity also contains the heart, aorta, trachea, thymus gland, bronchial tubes, and many lymph nodes.

Choice A is wrong because the ventral cavity is a general term for the body cavity that includes the thoracic and abdominal cavities.

Choice B is wrong because the abdominal cavity is the space below the diaphragm that contains the stomach, small and large intestines, spleen, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.

Choice D is wrong because the dorsal cavity is another general term for the body cavity that includes the cranial and spinal cavities.

The pituitary gland is commonly known as the “master gland” because it controls the hormone production of other glands. It secretes nine hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction, stress response and more.

Choice B. Endocrine is wrong because endocrine is not a specific gland, but a system of glands that produce hormones.

Choice C. Thyroid is wrong because thyroid is a gland that produces hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development.

It does not control other glands.

Choice D. Liver is wrong because liver is not an endocrine gland, but an organ that performs many functions such as digestion, detoxification and blood clotting.

It does not produce hormones that regulate other glands.

Normal ranges for pituitary hormones vary depending on the type of hormone, age, sex and other factors.

For example, the normal range for growth hormone in adults is 0.4 to 10 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), while the normal range for prolactin in women who are not pregnant or breastfeeding is 4 to 23 ng/mL.

The epiphyseal plate is the region of bone elongation that consists of hyaline cartilage and allows the bone to grow in length. If the fracture occurs in this area, it can damage the growth plate and affect the future growth of the bone.

Choice A) Diaphysis is wrong because it is the shaft of the bone that contains the medullary cavity and does not contribute to bone growth.

Choice B) Articular cartilage is wrong because it is the thin layer of cartilage that covers the ends of bones and reduces friction in joints.

It does not affect bone growth.

Choice D) Medullary cavity is wrong because it is the hollow space within the diaphysis that contains bone marrow.

It does not affect bone growth.

Normal ranges for bone growth vary depending on age, sex, and genetics. Generally, boys have a longer growth period than girls and reach their peak height around 18 years old, while girls reach their peak height around 16 years old. The average adult height for males is 69 inches and for females is 64 inches.
