The fluid in the cochlea moves in response to vibrations from the oval window. 25,000 nerve endings are set in motion as the fluid moves.

Mechanical vibrations of the stapes footplate at the oval window generate pressure waves in the perilymph of the cochlea's scala vestibuli. These waves travel around the cochlea's tip, through the helicotrema, and into the scala tympani before dissipating as they hit the round window. Sound-induced pressure changes in the cochlea travel down the fluid-filled tympanic and vestibular canals, which are filled with a fluid called perilymph. The membranous oval window functions similarly to a piston in a hydraulic system, pushing and pulling on the enclosed fluid.

seropon [69]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the attached figure and the options which are:

A.) The population of frogs will decrease because of increased predation by snakes.

B.) The population of storks will increase because of decreased competition with eagles.

C.) The population of gnats will decrease because of a decrease in the amount of grass available.

D.) The population of grass will decrease because of increased predation by rabbits.

E.) The population of snakes will increase because of decreased predation by eagles.

Answer:

Option-A and E

Explanation:

In the given question, a structure of a complex food web has been provided in which the organism present at the different trophic level are affected by different factors including-

1. The population of Eagles (top consumer) has decreased due to human activities. Since the number of eagles has declined therefore the number of organisms on which it feeds will increase (snakes in the given question) due to no predation.

2. The population of rabbits (primary consumer) has decreased due to a virus. Since the number of rabbits will decline therefore the snakes will now shift eat more frogs and therefore the number of frogs will decline.

Thus, the selected options are correct.

Before inserting a gastric or enteric tube, the nurse determines the length of tubing that will be needed to reach the stomach o
baherus [9]
The distance measured from the tip of the nose to the earlobe and from the earlobe to the xiphoid process

Inserting NGT can gain access to the stomach and its content. Draining of stomach content is possible, decompression or obtain a specimen of the gastric content is possible. This can allow gastric immobility and gastric obstruction to be identified. This is usually contraindicted to patients with facial trauma due to possibility of inserting the tube intracranially. Complications that can be expected are aspiration, trauma.

Where are objective and ocular lenses found on a microscope
antoniya [11.8K]
<span>Microscope slide holder. When you observe samples under a light microscope, they will usually be mounted on a glass slide. The slide holder is used to secure your slide in place so you will not inadvertently change its position.The paired knobs below the stage on the right-hand side move the slide holder either forward and back or left and right. These allow you to precisely control the position of the sample on the stageThe scales on the slide holder can be used to determine the position of an object on the slide. Thus, you can find an object, note its location, move to a new position and then later return to the mapped object. </span>The condenser. Below the stage is the condenser which is used to focus light on the sample. On the left side of the condenser is a knob that can be used to move the condenser up or down. In the up position, intense light is focused on the sample while in a lower position the light is less intense and more diffuse. As a general guide, you will usually want the condenser relatively high for looking at stained samples while a lower position may be preferable for increasing the contrast of unstained materials. The condenser also has an iris diaphragm which can be open or closed to control the light on the sample. The diaphragm opening is altered by moving the lever located at the front of the condenser.

Hope this information helps!
