Option B

Middle colic arteries is the most likely additional  source of blood to the descending colon

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The middle colic artery is a section of the superior mesenteric artery. Middle Colic provides the transverse colon, has a branch that runs to the right colon and branch that persists to the left colon that catches up with the left colic artery and proceeds as the marginal artery to provide the descending colon.

The left gastroepiploic artery is one of the sections of the splenic artery. Sigmoid- branch off IMA so barred in this case Splenic- proceeds of the celiac trunk, branches accumulation spleen & pancreas Superior Rectal- a sequence of IMA not possible to participate in this case

The middle colic artery can supply the descending colon in case the inferior mesenteric artery is blocked.

Explanation:

In the intestines, the inferior mesentery artery supplies one-third portion of the transverse, descending and sigmoid colon on the left side.

The superior mesentery artery is divided into many branches like the middle colic artery. The middle colic artery after supplying the transverse colon divides into the left and right branches.

The left branch of the middle colic artery anastomoses (of the SMA) with the left colic artery (of the IMA) and supplies the descending colon. Hence, in case the origin of the IMA is blocked, the middle colic artery of the SMA can still supply to the descending colon.

Moreover, the patient does not have intestinal angina which usually occurs when the SMA is blocked. Since the SMA is not blocked, its branch middle colic artery can supply the descending colon.

The left gastroepiploic and splenic artery supplies the spleen, superior rectal artery supplies the rectal region.

Which statement explains why earthquakes tend to be deeper near subduction zones?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option C, At a subduction zone, oceanic crust is forced deep into the Earth.

Explanation:

At sub-duction zone, the dense oceanic plates coincides with the less dense continental plates and thus sink below the continental plates. Sometimes these oceanic plates being dense, sink to greater depth with in the earth’s mantle. The sub-duction zone causes  earth quakes of high intensity when oceanic crust penetrates to greater depths of earth crust as they tend to change the rheology of the earths’ mantle and also causes bending of plates

Hence, option C is correct

Which of the following lists accurately represents the increasing complexity of genetic materials?
N76 [4]

The correct answer is A. Bases pairs, DNA, Gene, Chromosome, Cell.

Explanation

Nitrogen bases are chemical compounds that compose DNA and RNA, in the case of DNA the bases are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, while RNA is made up of uracil, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Additionally, DNA makes up genes, which are structures that store information that is passed on to offspring. Also, genes are organized to form chromosomes (more complex structures) of genetic information. Finally, there are cells, in them are chromosomes, fundamental for the reproduction of an organism. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Bases pairs, DNA, Gene, Chromosome, Cell.
