Chondromalacia is the synonymous of the cartilage softening (chondro = cartilage, malacia = soft). It's a pathology of softening affecting the joints and more particularly those of the knee (kneecap and femur).
This anomaly can be observed in several circumstances:
• the first is that of direct trauma. It is the cartilaginous lesion occurring before the fracture (fissure) of the cartilage.
• the second is that of common osteoarthritis. It is highly likely that the first stage of osteoarthritis begins with edema (swelling of the cartilage or closed chondropathy) that makes the cartilage less resistant and more vulnerable; this soft cartilage can then crack on its surface (open chondropathy) and these cracks will be more difficult to heal.
Answer: As in other higher vertebrates, the frog body may be divided into a head, a short neck, and a trunk (see Vertebrates). The flat head contains the brain, mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. A short, almost rigid neck permits only limited head movement. The stubby trunk forms walls for a single body cavity, the coelom.
Explanation:
Answer:
Which of the two types of cells, xylem or phloem, has the largest diameter
XYLEM
Explanation:
Reason being that xylem has a larger conducting vessels which helps in the aggregation of its sapwood unlike phloem which has a lower conductivity area
Human evolution known to be a process in which species adapt to certain
conditions of life, and in the battle of life and death, they are forced
to become stronger in order to survive in this world. Diseases have
always been present during the evolution, acting themselves as a natural
selectors - the weaker organisms get sick and die. Not just humans, but
all species have to establish a great protecting mechanism in order to
survive. That is how our bodies are built, to be able to withstand and
survive in the conditions we live in, and that is why our immune system
has to be taken care of.
