directions until it either runs out of material—pinches off—or hits a barrier. This is known as the _____.

Answer:

law of superposition

Explanation:

The law of superposition in geology suggests that the sediments are spreading out in a horizontal manner, flat, in all directions, until there's some natural feature that will stop them. It also suggests that the sediments are arranged vertically from the oldest being at the bottom, and the youngest layers being on the top.

Even though this is not always the case in nature, still there are lot of examples that support the law of superposition. When the sediments are aligned in that manner, the geologists find it very helpful and easy to determine the relative age of the layers, as well as the relative age of the fossils that are found in them.

While the bones of this joint may fracture, they rarely become dislocated. The articular capsule and accessory ligaments of this
nignag [31]

Answer:

Hip joint

Explanation:

Coxofemoral joint or hip joint. This joint joins the femoral head with the cotyloid cavity of the iliac or coxal bone. Together with the sacrum and the coccyx, both iliacs form a bony waist called the pelvis.

Joint capsule: It is a fibrous cuff that is inserted into the bone perimeter of the cotyloid cavity and the neck of the femur. The capsule is upholstered by a synovial.

Iliofemoral or Bertín: It is inserted in the anterior inferior iliac spine. It is directed downwards through two upper or iliopretrochanteric F.s: it is inserted in front of the facsimiles: F. lower trochanter major or iliopretrochanteric: it is inserted in front of the smaller trochanter.

Pubofemoral: It is inserted into iliopectine eminence, it ends in retrocantineal depression.

Ischio-femoral: It is located on the back of the joint. It originates in the subcotiloid canal and in the periarticular impeller. It ends on the inner side of the greater trochanter (in front of the digital pit).

- Round ligament

- Capsuar ligament.

Round ligament: Measures 3 cm long. It is intraarticular. It extends from the femoral head to the ischiopubial recess of the iliac. It has three fascicles Anterior ends at the anterior end of the recess. Medium ends in the transverse ligament of the Posterior acetabulum passes under the transverse ligament and joins the bone outside the notch.

The round ligament has an artery inside it that supplies the head of the femur. This artery is the branch of the obturator artery. The bottom of the acetabulum, head of the thorn femurllion of the ischium, iliac spine is removed.

In _______________, brain cells are stimulated using a powerful magnetic field produced by a wire coil placed on a person's head
Masteriza [31]

Answer:Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Explanation:

Transcranial magnetic stimulation also known as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. In TMS, brain cells are stimulated using a powerful magnetic field produced by a wire coil placed on a person's head that temporarily inactivates neural circuits. TMS devices operate completely outside of the body and affect central nervous system activity by applying powerful magnetic fields to specific areas of the brain that we know are involved in depression.
