To get an A, you must also tell your instructor how you came up with your answer. What features would you use to formulate your answer?
A) Most craniates lack a functional jaw.
B) The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.
C) The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.

Answer: c) and b) are correct.

The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.

The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.

Explanation: The craniates include the chordata with well-defined heads. This includes mammals, reptiles and fishes. So we can discard the other answers. Because most craniates have functional jaws, and the adults do not lose their chordate characteristics. The last one does not apply as a specific feature because the tunicate have neural crest but are not recognized as craniata.

Answer:

The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.

The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.

A group of embryonic cells called the neural crest form on either side of the neural tube in craniates

Craniates are members of the craniate monophyletic group of chordinates. <u>They have   a distinct head , protected by the skull made of hard bone. Some are with cartilages.</u> The skull protects the brain, paired eyes, ears and other the sensory organs.

They have high metabolic demands, their cardiovascular systems is made up of heart with one to two chambers. Its pumps blood saturated with oxygen, carried by hemoglobin. They have kidney which maintain homeostasis

NDICATIONS FOR CORONARY INTERVENTION: Acute inferior myocardial infarction. Documented mildly occlusive plaque with much clot in
Sphinxa [80]

Acute inferior myocardial infarction. Documented mildly occlusive plaque with much clot in the right coronary artery

<h3>What is myocardial infarction?</h3>
  • A myocardial infarction (MI), also referred to as a heart attack, happens when blood flow to the heart's coronary artery is reduced or interrupted, harming the heart muscle.
  • The most typical symptom is discomfort or soreness in the chest, which may radiate to the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw. It frequently lasts more than a few minutes and usually happens in the center or left side of the chest.
  • Sometimes the discomfort may feel like heartburn. Other signs and symptoms could include fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, feeling dizzy, and cold sweats.
  • Atypical symptoms are present in about 30% of patients. Women more frequently experience arm, neck, or fatigue discomfort instead of chest pain.

What is the smallest part in your body
Aleks [24]
What’s the smallest muscle in the human body? The stapedius, in your middle ear, measures about 1mm in size (or 1/26 of an inch). Connected to the stapes bone, it contracts to pull back the stapes and help protect your inner ear from loud noises. The stapedius also contracts to keep your own voice from sounding too loud in your head.
What’s the smallest bone in the human body?
Conveniently, that would be the stapes. It is one of three tiny bones in the middle ear that convey sound from the outer ear to the inner ear. Collectively called the ossicles, these bones are individually known as the malleus, incus, and stapes. Those are Latin words for the shapes the bones resemble: a hammer, anvil, and stirrup.
What’s the smallest organ in the human body?
You’ll find the pineal gland near the center of the brain, in a groove between the hemispheres. It’s not an organ like those in the abdominal cavity. It’s the human body’s smallest endocrine gland, and it produces melatonin, a hormone (derived from serotonin) that affects how we sleep, wake up, and react to seasonal changes. It’s called pineal because it’s shaped like a little pinecone.
What’s the smallest blood vessel in the human body? <span>Capillaries, the smallest, thinnest-walled blood vessels in the body, connect veins and arteries. They can be as small as 5-10 micrometers wide — or 50 times thinner than a baby’s hair. Each of us contains about 10 billion of them, with the average adult body containing about 25,000 miles of capillaries.</span>
