Answer: a. cervical enlargement.

Explanation:

Cervical enlargement corresponds to the enlargement of the spinal cord. The spinal cord is the origin of the spinal nerves that contribute to an important task of supplying blood to the upper limbs.  

The cervical enlargement results in an increase in the volume of the motor cells in the ventral part inside the grey matter. The motor neurons which are sited posteriorly supply to the upper limbs. Those which supply to the distal muscles are situated further posteriorly.

What is the difference between circulatory system and types of circulation
Nady [450]

Answer:

The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

There are two main types of circulatory systems: 1. open circulatory systems and closed circulatory systems. Open circulatory systems are systems where internal organs and body tissues are surrounded by circulatory fluid. This fluid is called hemolymph, and it's pretty much like blood, except that it doesn't contain oxygen transporting cells.

2. The closed circulatory system of some mollusks and all vertebrates and higher invertebrates is a much more efficient system. Here blood is pumped through a closed system of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Capillaries surround the organs, making sure that all cells have an equal opportunity for nourishment and removal of their waste products. However, even closed circulatory systems differ as we move further up the evolutionary tree.

Answer:

The leaves no longer have water, which means that there is little osmotic pressure which keeps it turgid.

Explanation:

The stem still contains water because of the capillary action that occurs. However, since there is no strong attraction, the water cannot be pulled to the leaves.
