Question

question (2.5 points)
the ______________ is a mass of muscle tissue with structures called papillae.
○ tricep
○ tongue
○ taste buds
○ nasal polyps

question 10 (2.5 points)
the cochlear duct in the inner ear helps to maintain body balance or equilibrium.
○ 1) true
○ 2) false

Explanation:

Question (first one):

• Tricep: A muscle in the arm, no papillae.
• Tongue: A muscular organ with papillae (structures for taste/sensation).
• Taste buds: Located on papillae, not the mass with papillae.
• Nasal polyps: Growths in nasal cavity, not muscular with papillae.

Cochlear duct (scala media) is for hearing (transduces sound). Vestibular structures (semicircular canals, utricle, saccule) maintain balance. So the statement is false.

Answer:

B. tongue
