Answer 1

Answer:D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The carpals belong to the appendicular skeleton.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bones might be classified by their bony tissue. In a transversal cut, two types of tissue might be recognized:

• a compact, dense skeleton tissue, located in layers in the outermost part of the bones. This tissue is rigid and resistant to deformation.

• a soft, spongy skeleton tissue, located in the interior of the bone, that constitutes a support system.

Bone´s architecture depends on their position and function, but most of them have the two skeletal systems well defined.

Skeleton Regions in vertebrates might be classified as:

• The Axial skeleton, composed of the skull and vertebral column.
• The Visceral skeleton, composed of visceral and branchial arches, ribs, and the sternum,
• The Appendicular skeleton, composed of the extremities´ bones, and all the associated structures that help to support these extremities. The carpals belong to this system.
