The spinal cord is a soft bundle of nerves that extends from the base of the brain to the lower back. It runs through the spinal canal and is protected by the bones of the spine (vertebrae). Messages between the brain and the nerve roots travel up and down the spinal cord, making it possible for the brain and body to communicate. The discs cushion the vertebrae and provide flexibility to the spine and spinal cord.

<span>The spinal cord is the foremost road for message attaching the brain and external nervous system.</span>

The body's spinal cord is preserved through the osseous spinal string pointed to the left side. The spinal string is produced of osseins named vertebrae / the backbone. Despite the spinal string is slightly adjustable, few of the vertebrae in the inferior segment of the spinal string displays wick.

each of the following cells.

Elodea Cell Cell wall _B____ Chloroplast _A___ Area of vacuole _C__ Onion Cell Cell wall _B__ Nucleus __A_ Mitochondria _C__ Cheek Epithelial Cell Cell membrane _B__ Nucleus __A_ BacteriA Bacterial Cells. View the bacterial cells on the PowerPoint and identify which cell (A, B, or C) is: Coccus ________B____ Bacillus ______A______ Spirillum ______C______ Protista Amoeba can move via the extension of finger-like projections called pseudopodia

Explanation:

Amoeba can move via the extension of finger-like projections called pseudopodia, what prevents plant cells from moving in the same fashion?

Ans: The plants that prevent the information of pseudopodia have rigid cell walls. which is unlike to amoeba.  

How does the euglena compare to both plant and animal cells (i.e. - explain what structure(s) might make it similar to plants and what structures might make it similar to animals).

Ans: Euglena are similar to plants because they both have chloroplast and are similar to animals because  neither has a cell wall.

Match the following:Part A1. Transverse foramina present.2. No canals or foramen present. It articulates superiorly with the sac
Stels [109]

Answer:

1. Transverse foramina present: Cervical

2. No canals or foramen present. It articulates superiorly with the sacrum: Coccyx

3. Receive the most stress: Lumbar

4. Attach to ribs: Thoracic

5. Articulates with hip bones of the pelvis: Sacrum

Explanation:

The vertebral column is a <u>series of 33 bones called vertebrae</u> that play a key role in organ protection, movement of body, and overall support. The column has been divided into <u>5 different regions</u> with the number of bones.

<u><em>1. Cervical Vertebrate</em></u><u>:</u> These are the group of <u>seven vertebrae of the neck</u>, start immediately below the skull. Two cervical bones C1 and C2 are unique in function. They are responsible for the movement of the head.  They have <u>transverse foramina</u> which <u>gives passage to vertebral artery and vein</u>.

<em><u>2. Thoracic Vertebrae:</u></em> They are a group of twelve small bones that form the vertebral spine in the upper trunk. The function of the thoracic vertebrae is to articulate with ribs to produce the bony thorax.

<em><u>3. Lumbar Vertebrae: </u></em>This is the largest segment of the vertebral column that consists of 5 bones between the rib cage and pelvis. They <u>carry all of the upper body weight</u> providing flexibility and movement to the trunk region.  This is why it can <u>receive the most stress easily</u>.

<em><u>4. Sacrum Vertebrae: </u></em>There are 5 sacral vertebral fused bones. It <u>connects to the hip bones and play role in forming a strong pelvis</u>.

<em><u>5. coccyx Vertebrae:</u></em> These are a group of 4 fused bone. There is <u>no vertebral canal due to a lack of vertebral arches</u>. They <u>provide </u>an <u>attachment site for muscles</u> ligament and tendons. They also <u>play a role in stabilization and support</u> while sitting.
