Which joint allows a side-to-side movement called lateral excursion?

Biology
1 answer:
Ivenika [448]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Temporomandibular joint

Explanation:

The lateral excursion refers to the side to side gliding movement of jaws that is unique to mammals. Lateral jaw movement is allowed by a temporomandibular joint which is a joint formed by the condylar process of the mandible and the mandibular fossa and articular tubercle of the temporal bone. This joint has features of both hinge and plane joints.

At the temporomandibular joint, the mandible is movable since the temporal bone is anchored by sutures to the other bones of the skull. During grinding of food, when the posterior teeth are pulled into occlusion, mandible exhibits side to side movement. This lateral jaw movement is observed in animals such as cows and horses during chewing of their food.

write a paragraph describing the impact Carbon on our global temperatures include the terms carbon sink carbon Source ocean acid
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect caused  by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the earth's lower atmosphere. A release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by carbon sources such as fossil fuel burning increases the greenhouse effect hence increased global warming. Another effect of higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere is oceans acidification.  The oceans will absorb more carbon dioxide and form more carbon acid hence lowering the pH of the waters. To alleviate this phenomenon, carbon sinks need to be protected such as forest because they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as carbohydrates in their biomass.

What is the product of 1 2/3 and -3 1/2
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

-5 5/6

Explanation:

So the same thing as the last question I answered, we have to multiply the top row and the bottom row. However, the fractions in the photo are actually mixed numbers so we first have to make them into improper fractions.

1 and 2/3 would be: 5/3

-3 and 1/2 would be: - 7/2

So now we have to multiply them:  5/3  * - 7/2:

Same steps: 5 * 7 = 35; 3 * 2 = 6:

- 35/6, or we could simplify and make it a mixed number so and also add the negative sign:

6 goes into 35 5 times so: -5 and 5/6 or -5 5/6

Which order of components is used to create hydroelectric power?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Answer is option A.

reservoir - penstock - turbine - generator - transformer - electrical lines

Explanation :

The most important parts of a hydroelectric power plant are the dam and the reservoir. The dam which is built on a large river, has a reservoir placed behind it to store water. The height of the water in the reservoir is directly proportional to the maximum possible potential energy from the water. The penstock is a long pipe or shaft which transfer the water from the reservoir to the power generation unit.  Thus the water in the penstock has potential energy due to its height and kinetic energy due to its motion. The power generation unit contains turbines and generator. This water falls on the blades of the turbine which causes the blades to rotate. Thus the kinetic and potential energy of water is converted into the rotational motion of the turbine blades. The rotating blades causes the rotational motion of the turbine shaft, which is enclosed inside the generator where the electricity is produced. The rotational motion of the turbine shaft inside the generator generates magnetic field which is converted into alternating current by electromagnetic field induction. The transformer converts this electricity into a higher voltage which is then fed into power lines for distribution.
