Question 20 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

A woman has brain cancer that has metastasized to her bones. How will the tissues in her bones likely be affected?

Answer
A
They will grow more slowly.
B
They will kill unhealthy tissues.
C
They will become diseased.
D
They will function as brain tissue.

Explanation

Metastasis means cancer cells have spread from the original tumor to another part of the body. If cancer spreads to her bones, the bone tissues can become diseased. They do not become brain tissue; the cancer cells remain cancer cells in a new location.
