The plane that divides the body into left and right portions is known as the sagittal plane also known as the median plane. Sagittal plane bisects the body into two halves and the plane motion occurs around a coronal axis. Movements in the sagittal plane are the flexion and the extension. The Flexion movement involves the bending movement in which the relative angle between two adjacent segments decreases. The Extension movement involves a straightening movement in which the relative angle between the two adjacent segments increases. In general, both flexion and extension movement occur in many joints in the body, which include shoulder, wrist, vertebral, elbow, knee, foot, hand and hip.

The sagittal plane has two subsections; they are the Midsagittal and the Parasagittal. The midsagittal runs through the median plane and divides along the line of symmetry while the parasagittal plane is parallel to the mid-line and divides the body into two unequal halves.

frutty [35]

Answer:

they might get their long hair from their father's genes. They might also have long hair phenomenally.

Although the mother may look shorthaired, she may be carrying a hidden, or recessive, longhaired mutation. So if she mates with a longhaired tom, half the kittens will be longhaired. Or if she mates with a shorthaired tom carrying the same hidden longhaired gene, one in four kittens will be longhaired.

serg [7]

Scientists have found that extracellular matrix component may induce specific gene expression in the embryonic tissues such as the liver and testes. For this to happen, there must be a direct communication between the extracellular matrix and the developing cells. The Integrins of transmembrane protein would most likely be involved in this kind of induction.

Integrins are the main principal receptors used by the cells of animal to bind to the matrix of extracellular. They are heterodimers and they function as transmembrane linkers between the actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. A cell can regulate the sticky activity of its integrins from within.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Linked the family with community sources for aid.

Besides nursing care, the nurse would make sure that interdisciplinary members of the team were involved, such as, the doctors' nutritionist, community worker, or resources, and provide a supportive environment for the family, and the client. The chaplain may be of support for the infant, or family may not be present. the bright room is overly stimulating to the withdrawing infant, and feeding is basic care.

Hope this helps.
