Explanation:
National Park Service has been keeping the native ponies on Ocracoke Island since the 1960s. It is believed that these ponies arrived and left by the ships. These ships required to lower their load thus they left the ponies on the Island. These ponies are known as Ocracoke ponies and also called as Banker ponies. These ponies share a link to old Spanish horses genetically. The unique characteristics of the ponies include one fewer lumbar vertebrae, greater bone density, short necks, wide foreheads, and one fewer rib.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
- Adjusts the positions of the head, the neck, and the trunk
- Perform respiratory movements
- Stabilize or position parts of the appendicular skeleton
- All of the above
Answer:
All of the above
Explanation:
The axial skeleton is the group of bones which forms the centre of the skeletal system. The central portion of the skeletal system includes bones of the skull, bones associated with the skull, the thorax, and the vertebral column (spinal cord).
There are 80 axial skeletal bones out of which 22 bones are present in the skull, 7 attached to the skull, 25 in a thoracic cage and 26 in the vertebral column.
The axial skeleton help maintains the position of the appendicular skeleton, maintain the posture of the body by maintaining the posture of the neck, head and trunk and also help in the respiratory movements.
Thus, all of the above is correct.
Vitamin C is the water soluble vitamin that can regenerate vitamin E after it has been oxidized. Because vitamin C is an acid, it is reasonably stable in acidic solutions, but in neutral or basic solutions it is easily and rapidly oxidized by dissolved oxygen. The oxidation of vitamin C, Ascorbic acid, is brought about by the loss of two hydrogen atoms as the vitamin is converted to dehydroascorbic acid. Vitamin C functions as antioxidant, assists in synthesis of collagen, a component of the connective tissue, synthesis of DNA, bile, neurotransmitters, thyroid and other hormones.
