The exceptional flexibility of the shoulder girdle is due, in part, to the ability of the scapula to slide easily against the thorax.
Because of that the following movements are possible:

 Protraction: moving the scapula forwards, away from the spine.
Retraction: opposite of protraction; scapula towards the spine.
Elevation: shoulder girdle to move upwards.
Depression: shoulder downwards.
Downward rotation: rotating the lower scapula towards the spine.

Brums [2.3K]

The nurse describes pulmonic stenosis as the Narrowing of the valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.

Pulmonary stenosis is the narrowing of the pulmonary valve, which controls the flow of blood from the heart's proper ventricle into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery consists of blood to the lungs. Stenosis happens when the valve's flaps (cusps or leaflets) are thickened or fused together.

Pulmonary valve stenosis is most customarily a congenital coronary heart defect. the precise reason is doubtful. The pulmonary valve does not increase well as the toddler is developing in the womb. The pulmonary valve is manufactured from three skinny portions of tissue called flaps (cusps).

In pulmonary stenosis, the pulmonary valve is just too small, too slender, and can't open all the way. This causes the right ventricle to pump harder to send blood out to the lungs. over time, this may motivate the thickening of the proper ventricle and stress on the heart.

Which statement describes the Supreme Court case of Worcester v. Georgia?

Sonbull [250]

Answer: The best answer is C. Usually compared to lion, Andrew Jackson was a very controlling president and was usually compared to a king because of his actions. He vetoed more than the 6 presidents before him combined. A would imply that Jackson let the Native Americans have the land when he did not. B was the opposite of what really happened. C was somewhat close in that the Cherokee did lose the case( not originally but after Jackson repealed it) but they did not ask Jackson for help. He rather forced them out of the land in the Trail of Tears.
