Answer 1

Answer:

• Tyler has fractured : A. Mandible.

Explanation:

• Mandible is the lower jaw and the strongest bone of the skull. It is the only movable part of the skull and mostly helps in chewing.
• Ribs are very important that form a cage around heart and lungs. Thus, rib protects vital organs.
• Sternum also known as Breast bone attaches the ribs to form rib cage which protects organs like heart and lings.
• Vetebral column also protects a vital organ that is the spinal chord one of the vital part of nervous system and is essential for survival.
