Answer:
flexion
Explanation:
The flexion is a movement of the body part that is described the bending of an elbow, or the clenching a hand into a fist, etc. where the angle between any segment of the body and its proximal segment decreases.
In simple words, the flexion is a movement which decreases the angle between two body parts when they are moved.
The flexion occurs in the sagittal plane.
Thus, the movement of a thumb that would be mostly affected by the lesion of median nerve in cubital fossa is the flexion movement.
Answer:
It has 4 trophic levels.
Explanation:
The first level would be the producers, followed by the primary consumers, then the secondary consumers, then the tertiary comsumers.

Answer:
Man's genotype: Bbdd
Woman's genotype: bbDd
First child's genotype: Bbdd
Second child's genotype: bbDd
Explanation:
This is a dihybrid cross involving two genes; one coding for eye color and the other for hair color in humans. The allele for brown eye (B) is dominant over the allele for blue eyes (b) in the first gene while the allele for dark hair (D) is dominant over the allele for red hair (d) in the second gene.
According to the question, A man with brown eyes and red hair will possibly possess genotypes: BBdd or Bbdd while a woman with blue eyes and dark hair will possibly have genotype: bbDD or bbDd. Considering the fact that they produced children with recessive traits for both gene (blue eyes and red hair), it means that they are heterozygous for their dominant trait. This means that the ideal genotype for the man is Bbdd since he will produce gametes containing B and b alleles for the first gene while the ideal genotype for the woman is bbDd since it will produce gametes with D and d allele for the second gene.
Hence, a child with brown eyes and red hair will possess genotype: Bbdd since he/she cannot receive two dominant alleles for the first gene from both parents. A child with blue eyes and dark hair will have genotype: bbDd since he/she cannot receive two dominant alleles of the second gene from both parents.
<span>Botulinum toxin does not bind to receptors presemt at the axon terminal in order to enter the neuron. It is a neurotoxin protein produced by Clostridium botulinum which is a bacterium. It prevents the release of neurotransmitter from axon endings that results to flaccid paralysis.</span>
Answer:
The Mitral/Bicuspid Valve
Explanation:
The heart is composed of 4 chambers: left and right atria, and left and right ventricles. The “right heart” (right atrium and ventricle) receives deoxygenated blood from the systemic circulation through the Vena Cava, and impels this blood towards the lungs through the Pulmonary Arteries where it will be oxygenated. The “left heart” (left atrium and left ventricle) receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary circulation through the Pulmonary veins and impels this blood towards the systemic circulation through the Aorta artery.
The systemic and pulmonary circuits work in series, and maintaining the unidirectional course of the blood flow is very important. This can be done by the presence of fibrous valves that are present between the atrium and the ventricles, and in between the ventricles and the Pulmonary/Aorta artery.
The location of these structures are as follows:
Systemic circulation ⇒ Right Atrium → [Tricuspid Valve] → Right Ventricle → [Pulmonary Valve] → Pulmonary Artery ⇒ Pulmonary circulation
Pulmonary circulation ⇒ Left Atrium → [Mitral/Bicuspid Valve] → Left Ventricle → [Aortic Valve] → Aorta ⇒ Systemic circulation
