A

Bias could influence sampling when the selection process is not random or when certain groups are overrepresented or underrepresented.

94
Q

Describe flat bones.

A

Thin plates of compact bone (with some cancellous); they function for muscle attachment and protection (e.g., scapula, skull, sternum).

95
