The muscular system and the function of the muscles allow the movement of our body and it is the one that works in tune with other systems of our body to guarantee normal general functioning..The skeletal system is the set of organs that support, shape, structure and protect the body. The skeleton is a dynamic structure, specifically the axial skeleton, it is to serve as a support or as a scaffold that supports the organs and structures of the body.

How does the size of the soil particles impact<br> the soil's permeability (movement of water)?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Water moves by gravity into the open pore spaces in the soil, and the size of the soil particles and their spacing determines how much water can flow in. Wide pore spacing at the soil surface increases the rate of water infiltration, so coarse soils have a higher infiltration rate than fine soils.

How does soil particle size affect permeability?

But permeability is a different thing. It increases as particle size increases. By definition, permeability is a MEASURE OF EASE with which fluids will flow though a porous rock, soil or sediment. ... That means capillarity increase as particle sizes decreases.
