B. A bone and a vein
C. A bone and a nerve
D. A vein and a nerve

Answer 1

The general meaning of the term innominate is unnamed or anonymous. This term is used to describe the anatomical features of a skeleton system and vascular system.

Complete answer:
To describe the anatomical structure of the human hip bone and brachiocephalic artery, the term innominate is used.
Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. The only exception is the pulmonary artery, which carries' deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lung.
Veins are the blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood from the body organs to the heart. The only exception is a pulmonary vein, which carries' oxygenated blood from the lung to the heart.

So, the correct answer is option A. A bone and an artery.

Note: Valves are present in the veins but not in the artery.
Pulses can be felt in the arteries but not in vain. For example, for checking the blood pressure pulses are checked from the brachial artery. Doctors check the pulse of the radial artery from the wrist for regular check-ups.
The walls of the artery are very thin but the walls of the veins are thick.
Blood flows at a very high rate in the artery but in veins, blood flows very slowly.
The meeting point of arteries and veins form a mesh-like network structure which is called capillaries.
