Lindsey tripped and cut her knee while she was competing in a track event. When Lindsey went to the doctor, the doctor told her she may have bruised her kneecap. The cut on Lindsey's knee and her bruised kneecap best represent injuries to which levels of organization within her body?

A. They represent injuries to skin and bone. Skin and bone are both organs.

B. They represent injuries to blood and nerves. Blood is an organ and nerves are a tissue.

C. They represent injuries to bone and muscle. Bone is an organ system and muscle is a cell.

D. They represent injuries to muscle and nerves. Muscle and nerves are both organ systems.

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

I would say A because blood, nerves, and muscle all don't relate to skin. Also, skin and bones ARE both organs.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

A. They represent injuries to skin and bone. Skin and bone are both organs.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the question above, Lindsey cut her knee, that means she had a skin lesion in the knee area. Lindsey probably felt a lot of pain and thought that pain was not normal for a cut on her knee, so she went to the doctor and found out that she had hurt her knee cap, which is a bone. The knee patella is a part of the triangular bone, located in the front of the knee.

With that, we can affirm that the cut in the knee and the lesion in the patella, represent lesions in the skin and bones. Skin and bone are both organs
