False, The femoral artery becomes the popliteal artery at the knee.

<h3>Where does the femoral artery become the popliteal?</h3>

When the superficial femoral artery leaves the adductor canal at the adductor hiatus and travels posteriorly beyond the knee, it enters the popliteal fossa, where the popliteal artery continues the superficial femoral artery's direct journey.

The main blood vessel giving blood to your lower body is the femoral artery. It begins in the back of your upper thigh, close to the groin, and descends to the back of your knee. The femoral artery and its branches are responsible for supplying blood to the lower body. Blood carries nutrition and oxygen to your tissues.

The anterior and posterior tibial arteries are the popliteal artery's two terminal branches, which branch off at the lower border of the popliteus muscle after the popliteal artery passes through the popliteal fossa.

Answer:

Calcium

Explanation:

Calcium is an important element present in the organisms body. The calcium can acts as an important messenger molecule and helps in the process of muscle contraction.

The concentration of calcium ions in the myoplasm leads to the development of force necessary for the movement of actin and myosin molecule. The calcium ions cling the cross bridge formation during muscle contraction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

Aminiotic fluid formation and clearance ?

stich3 [128]

Introduction :-)

The amniotic fluid is the protective liquid contained by the amniotic sac of a gravid amniote. This fluid serves as a cushion for the growing fetus, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between mother and fetus.

Importance :-)

It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.
It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.
It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.
It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.

Formation :-)

Amniotic fluid is present from the formation of the gestational sac. Amniotic fluid is in the amniotic sac. It is generated from maternal plasma, and passes through the fetal membranes by osmotic and hydrostatic forces. When fetal kidneys begin to function around week 16, fetal urine also contributes to the fluid. In earlier times, it was believed that the amniotic fluid was composed entirely of fetal urine.

The fluid is absorbed through the fetal tissue and skin. After 22 to 25 week of pregnancy, fraternization of an embryo's skin occurs. When this process completes around the 25th week, the fluid is primarily absorbed by the fetal gut for the remainder of gestation.

Contents :-)

At first, amniotic fluid is mainly water with electrolytes, but by about the 12-14th week the liquid also contains proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea, all of which aid in the growth of the fetus.

Hope its helpful :-)

If so, please mark me as brainlist :-)
