Tyler is admitted to the hospital after an accident. In the hospital, Tyler overhears the doctor telling his mom that although he has a fracture in the axial skeleton, he’s lucky because the bone doesn’t protect any vital organ that’s essential for survival. Which bone has Tyler fractured?

The correct answer is  mandible  

Mandible is a lower jaw bone that does not protect any organ in our body.

It is located in the facial region and is the strongest and largest bone of the mouth.

Mandible contains a region for the lower teeth and forms a temporomandibular joint.

The structure of mandible is comprised of two regions:

- The horizontal body (anteriorly)

- Two vertical rami (posteriorly)

Explanation:

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

during the process of dna replication, brdu can replace thymidine and incorporate into the newly synthesized dna, cell proliferation thus can be reflected in the extent of brdu incorporation.
