A

Water in the soil is held tightly by adhesive forces between the water molecules and the mineral content in soil particles - in the microspores.

Explanation:

While water passes through the macrospores of soil by gravity, water passes through the microspores mainly by cohesion between the water molecules and adhesion between the water molecules and soil minerals. The more surface area for the minerals in the soil (due to finer particle sizes) the higher the water retention rate of the soil. This is why soil with more humus (like silt and clay) retains water more than soils like sand.

tendons of the rotator cuff muscles hold the head of the humerus to the glenoid cavity of the scapula
AnnZ [28]

The rotator cuff muscles hold the head of the humerus to the glenoid cavity of the scapula with subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles' tendinous.

What is rotator cuff muscles?

The rotator cuff is a collection of muscles in the shoulder that supports stability of the glenohumeral joint while allowing for a large range of motion. The following muscles make up the rotator cuff: Subscapularis. Infraspinatus. Minor Teres.

What is glenoid cavity of the scapula?

The term "glenoid fossa" refers to the glenoid hollow. The pectoral girdle's lateral scapula bone, often known as the shoulder blade, has a slight dip there.  The glenohumeral joint connects the upper limb's humerus to the glenoid cavity.

The subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles' tendinous insertions combine to form the tendinous band known as the rotator cuff. During joint motion, these muscles support the humeral head's rotation against the glenoid fossa.

Therefore, the rotator cuff muscles hold the head of the humerus to the glenoid cavity of the scapula with subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles' tendinous.
