Answer:

Sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis minor, scalenes

Explanation:

During normal inhalation, contraction of the diaphragm and the contraction of external intercostals expands the chest cavity. The increased volume of the thoracic cavity results in reduced alveolar pressure than the atmospheric pressure to facilitate the flow of air into the lungs in response to the pressure gradient.

During deep inhalation as it occurs when running up the stairs, the accessory muscles of inhalation also participate to increase the volume of the chest cavity. The contraction of scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles increase the volume of the chest cavity further to create a greater drop in alveolar pressure.

During forceful inhalation, the sternocleidomastoid muscles serve to elevate the sternum, the scalene muscles serve to elevate the first two ribs while the pectoralis minor elevate the third through fifth ribs.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

The muscles used in the breathing process involves the thoracic muscles like external intercostal muscles, internal intercostal muscles, muscles attached to thoracic muscles like pectoralis major and minor and the accessory muscles like sternocleidomastoid muscle and scalene muscles.

The muscles involved in the inhalation process during running up the stairs are scalenes which help elevate the upper first and second ribs, the sternocleidomastoid muscle which helps to raise the sternum and the pectoralis minor.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

TEA [102]

Answer:

This quote is by Immanuel Kant and is meant to defend animals from the cruel actions of men.

Explanation:

German Immanuel Kant was one of the most influential philosophers of all time. <u>Kant opposed Utilitarianism</u>, an ethical theory that reduced the rights or wrongs of an action to how positive or negative the outcome of said action was, which could lead to vile actions since nothing was really wrong unless it had bad consequences.

To Kant, animals were deserving of good treatment, and he believed that a man who is cruel to animals is also cruel to other men.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

an atom with eight protons and seven electrons

an atom with eight protons and eight electrons

an atom with eight protons and no electrons

Explanation:

To tell atoms of the same element, it is safe to look at the number of protons. In neutral atoms, the number of protons will be equal with that of electrons but nonetheless, electrons are easily knocked out of their orbit to create charged atoms. Neutrons, on the other hand, can slightly vary in number  creating different isotopes of the element. Changing the protons would change the atom into that of another element. Protons, therefore, are used to place an element on the periodic table.
