Multifidus

What is multifidus?

The transversospinal group of deep back muscles includes the semispinalis, rotatores, multifidus, and other short, triangular muscles. They are shorter than semispinalis but longer than rotatores, and they are the thickest muscles in the transversospinal group. On either side of the vertebral column, from the cervical to the lumbar spine, there is a multifidus. Cervical multifidus, thoracic multifidus, and lumbar multifidus are the three regional subgroups of the group.

The spinal column is extended by the multifidus muscles. They contribute to the lateral flexion of the spine as well as some rotation of the vertebral bodies away from the side of contraction.

Multifidus: a muscle in the fifth and deepest layer of the back that helps to erect and rotate the spine by filling in the groove on either side of the spinous processes of the vertebrae from the sacrum to the skull.

What happens in your body to cause you to get a fever?
andriy [413]

The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Infectious agents are not the only causes of fever, however. Amphetamine abuse and alcohol withdrawal can both elicit high temperatures, for example. And environmental fevers--such as those associated with heat stroke and related illnesses--can also occur.

The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases.

Explanation:

During the industrial revolution, the population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases because due to industrial revolution, air pollution increases which spreads a black dust on the trees and as a result the light colour Peppered moths can easily be seen in the dark by its predator and feed on them while dark colour Peppered moths can't be seen in the dark so the predator is unable to feed and as a result the population of dark colour Peppered moths increases.

Which type of anatomic structure are bird wings and butterfly wings when compared to each other?
Anna11 [10]

When compared to each other, bird wings and butterfly wings can be described as ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES,

Analogous structures are those body structures in animals, which are used to perform similar functions but which have different evolutionary history. They are also called convergent structures. These structures are formed as a result of the need for the animals to adapt to similar environmental conditions. For instance, both bird and butterfly use their wings for flying.
