The cup like structure, in which the femur fits into the hip bone is known as Acetabulum.
the acetabulum is referred to a concave shapoed surface of the pelvis, which have a cup like groove. This groove helps in the binding of the femur head to the hip or the pelvic bone.
The round head of the femur gets fits into this cup shaped structure and forms the hip joint. The acetabulum is formed by the contribution of ischium, ilium and the pubis.
By focusing on the base and the ball...?
Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air)
Answer:
Examples of biotic factors are animals, birds, plants, fungi, and other similar organisms. Introduction In ecology and biology, abiotic components are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment which affect ecosystems
<h2>(D) is the correct option </h2>
Explanation:
- Both the stapedius and tensor tympani are striated muscles
- The stapedius is about 6 mm in length, arises from the pyramidal process and the tendon attaches to the posterior neck of the stapes
- The stapedius is a muscle with a high oxidative capacity
- The tensor tympani is about 25 mm in length, the muscle is not as strong as the stapedius, and the tendon also contains more elastic tissue and fat
- The tensor tympani courses through a bony canal in the wall of the anterior middle ear, and attaches to the neck of the manubrium
- The tensor tympani and stapedius muscles are protective reflexes
- They reduce the amount of sound that gets into the inner ear
- They are somewhat similar to the blink reflex thus they can be triggered by loud noise, and when they go off, both ears can be involved
- If stapedius and tensor tympani muscles is not present then loud sounds would cause the ossicles to move too much, potentially causing damage to the inner ear
