Answer:
The Galapagos cormorant has vestigial wings that don't help it to fly or swim, though the birds still dry them off in the sun after they get wet, just as if they would if they still could use them to fly. This species diverged into a flightless bird about 2 million years ago.
Explanation:
Classifying things by observation can best be done by using a : Taxon
Taxon divided organisms into different groups based on their unique similarities, which is the best way to classify things if you're doing it by observation.
The Mitral valve which is also known as left atrioventricular prevents blood movement from left ventricle to left atrium.
Explanation:
- Human heart is four chambered.
- Two of these are receiving chambers known as atria and the other two are distributing chamber known as Ventricles.
- Atria are superior chambers and ventricles are inferior chambers.
- The heart has four valves broadly grouped as Atrioventricular valves and Semi lunar valves.
- Atrioventricular valves allows flow of blood from atria to ventricle. These are tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve.
- Semi-lunar valves allow blood to pass out of the heart. These include the pulmonary and aortic valves.
- The pulmonary valve allows blood to flow from right ventricle to the heart while aortic valve allows blood to flow from left ventricle to the Aorta.
- The Tricuspid valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle allows blood to flow from right atrium to the right ventricle.
- The Bicuspid valve ( Mitral valve) located between the left atrium and left ventricle allows the blood flow from left atria to left ventricle.
- Valves maintain the unidirectional flow of blood and thus prevent its back flow.
