<h3>Small petals and sepals an advantage to these flowers:                                                                                                              </h3>
  • The flower petals and sepals are adaptations that attract pollinators.
  • Flowers that are 'pollinated by the wind' mostly have smaller sepals and petals as they do not have the need of attracting pollinators like insects, birds and bats.
  • In addition, it is possible that sepals and petals get in the track of pollen which might fly around in the wind. Also, it may "inhibit pollen" from "sticking" to the stigma.
  • Hence, wind pollinating plants comprise of small sepals and petals.

Intercostal nerves Group of answer choices are also known as cervical nerves. do not enter into a plexus and directly connect to
Natali [406]

Answer:

The correct answer is: do not enter into a plexus and directly connect to the structures they supply.

Explanation:

<u>The </u><u>anterior rami</u><u> of the thoracic spinal nerves </u><u>from T1 to T11</u><u> give birth to the </u><u>intercostal nerves</u>, which are part of the somatic nervous system.

The intercostal nerves supply the thoracic pleura and abdominal peritoneum, and they vary from the anterior rami of the other spinal nerves in that they each take their own path without forming a plexus, <em>directly connecting to the structures they supply</em>.

The intercostal nerves are derived from the somatic nervous system, unlike the autonomic nervous system nerves that innervate the visceral pleura of the thoracic cavity. They can govern muscle contractions and give sensory information about the skin and parietal pleura as a result of this. This explains why damage to the thoracic cavity's interior wall can be felt as a severe discomfort in the damaged area. Damage to the visceral pleura causes a pain that is not localized.
