Who is most at risk of spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative disorders?

Biology
1 answer:
miskamm [114]4 years ago
6 0

Elderly people are most at risk from minor trauma that results in serious spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative vertebral disorders. Males are more prone to spinal cord injuries than females but not as a result of preexisting disorder. This may be related to an increased involvement in contact sports or a propensity to participate in high risk activities. Neither females nor infants are at any particular risk for spinal cord injuries.

What are the 7 terms / groups used in Taxonomic Nomenclature?
vredina [299]

Taxonomy, or taxonomy, is originally derived from the need for scientific classification of species. It now extends to other sciences, including human sciences, information sciences and computer science. Sometimes we call it "taxonomy" to describe the result of a taxonomic activity, that is to say a classification.

The traditional classification is based on a fixed hierarchy of categories (taxon ranks), defined as follows:

Reign (or Kingdom) (there are currently six) → Division (or phylum) → class → order → family → gender → species.

Why does the element carbon create such different minerals as diamond and graphite ?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Carbon has four available binding sites and depending on how one atom binds to other atoms, it can form different structures. If you look up the structure of diamond and graphite, you’ll see that they are all made out of carbon but they are arranged differently.
