Think about your knee as a body part consisting of skin, ligaments, muscle, and nerve endings. If each of these components are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue respectively, then what would you say are the defining characteristics of each kind of tissue? What are the relevant parts of your skull as a whole that would fit each tissue type?

Even though the ostrich is a flightless bird, ostriches still possess wings that stretch approximately two meters across when fully extended. scientists speculate that when dinosaurs became extinct, some of the birds that lived during that time became land dwellers since they were able to consume the food that the dinosaurs once ate. over time, these species grew larger and heavier. eventually, the ostrich species became too big to fly. the wings found on ostriches are known as a. analogous structures. b. homologous structures. c. vestigial structures. d. symmetrical structures.
