The name of the tear collecting structure under the skin near the bridge of the nose is the lacrimal sac. The lacrimal sac is part of the lacrimal drainage system or the lacrimal apparatus. The tears are produced in the lacrimal gland and will drain through a hole near the lower palpebral conjuntiva called the puncta which serves as the entrance in the lacrimal system. The tears will now enter the canalicula which serves as the passage way from the puncta to the lacrimal sac. Lastly, the tears in the lacrimal sac will drain to the nasolacrimal duct and to the nose. This also explains why we get runny nose when we are crying.

c. The radius articulates to the wrist closest to the thumb

Explanation:

Ulna and radius are the two bones of the forearm. These bones articulates with the humerus and carpels of the hand.

b. The radius forms the point of the elbow: The elbow joint is the hinge joint that forms between the proximal ends of the radius and ulna in the forearm and distal ends of the humerus. The radius forms a pointed end.

c. The radius articulates to the wrist closest to the thumb: The wrist forms a complex joint. It forms a transition between the hand and the forearm. The radial deviation in the wrist forms the basis for the movement of the tilting of the wrist joint towards the thumb.

How might biodiversity in Area 1 change if the new bird species ate small mammals, lizards, and toads?

zmey [24]

Knowing that Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is typically a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Terrestrial biodiversity is usually greater near the equator, which is the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. The ecosystem will change if a new species is introduced to an unfamiliar ecosystem. If a new species of birds were to eat another animal that was supposed to be eaten by another. The food chain of the ecosystem would be changed drastically. Aka, it might make the lizards go extinct, and can possibly become abundant. Aka, overpopulating and creating havoc within the ecosystem. Thus, causing imbalance.
