Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Total number of bones (in number) found in the body of a cow are 180.
Inside the cow bone there is spongy bone, compact bone, and on the outside is the outer membrane. The femur, or thigh bone, is the longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the entire body.
Cattle do have the same bones and joints as horses below the fetlock but in duplicate form. There are four proximal sesamoid bones and two distal sesamoid bones on each limb. The fetlock joint is fused the pastern and coffin joints are bilateral on each limb and separate.
