Find the odd anatomical item (organ/part vs tissue type): Identify the one that is not an external organ/part designation.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Bone

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Human anatomy terms can be split into named organs/body parts versus tissue types. Eye, ear, and hand denote specific organs/parts; “bone” denotes a tissue type and skeletal element category, not a single external organ label.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Eye: sensory organ.
  • Ear: sensory organ.
  • Hand: articulated body part (multiple bones, muscles, tendons).
  • Bone: tissue category/structural element, present throughout the skeleton, not an external organ name by itself.


Concept / Approach:
Use naming specificity: three items are discrete parts commonly referred to as organs/body parts. “Bone” is a material/tissue found in many parts, not a single part name.



Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Group eye/ear/hand as part/organs.2) Classify bone as tissue/structural element.3) Bone is the odd one out.


Verification / Alternative check:
Ask: “Which part hurts?” → eye/ear/hand are parts; “bone” needs specification (e.g., femur, radius).



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They point to distinct external organs/parts.



Common Pitfalls:
Hand contains bones, but the label “bone” is not a specific part name.



Final Answer:
Bone
