Answer:

D. Fibrocartilage

Explanation:

In order to understand the question, we need to review the structure of intervertebral discs.

Intervertebral discs consist of two parts:

It forms the central part of the intervertebral disc and consists of mucoid substance.

  • <u>ANNULUS FIBROSUS:</u>

It is composed of encircling layers of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue surrounding the nucleus pulposus

<u>SLIPPED DISC:</u>

It is characterized by the protrusion of nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus accompanied by the compression of spinal nerves.

Patient may present with loss of sensory sensations or pain or both.

<u>CORRECT ANSWER:</u>

From the above review, the correct answer is <u>D. fibrocartilage</u> as it forms the annulus fibrosus.

Food that is consumed by mouth is broken down into nutrients and energy, and the leftover waste is ejected as feces at the anus.

New generations are better suited to their environment than the first generation. What is this called?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Descent with modification

Explanation:

We define evolution as descent with modification from a common ancestor.

Evolution only occurs when there is a change in gene frequency within a population over time. These genetic differences are hereditary and can be passed on to the next generation - which is what really matters in evolution: long-term change. In this process, the new generations are better suited to their environment than the first generation because of descent with genetic modification.
