True rib : the first seven ribs attach to the sternum (the breast bone) in the front and are known as true ribs (or sternal ribs)

False ribs: the lower five ribs do not directly connect to the sternum and are known as false ribs  

Floating ribs :The floating ribs are less stable and risk breaking because they have only one attachment  

Dorsally to the vertebrae and have very thin bone tissue locked in muscle as they extend  

Laterally.

Seven pairs are called true ribs. Each rib is attached to the breastbone in the front and curves around to join on to one of the vertebrae that make up the backbone via a strip of costal cartilage.

There are three pairs of false ribs. These are attached to vertebrae but are not linked to the breastbone. Instead, each rib is attached to the rib above it by cartilage.

There are two pairs of floating ribs. These are attached only to the vertebrae of the backbone.

which of the following shows the levels of organization in a multicell organsim from the smallest level to the largest?
zzz [600]

1. Organelles-. e.g. mitochondria, nucleus.

2. Cells- e.g. epithelial cells, palisade cells. 

3. Tissues- e.g. muscles, connective tissue.

4. Organs- e.g. heart, liver.

5. Organ systems- e.g. digestive system, circulatory system

This is because there are many organelles inside a cell and  a collection of same cells that creates tissues, a collection of tissues form organs, to carry out a particular function, and a collection of organs working together is an organ system. I think this is what they're after as I had a similar question a little while ago.

The lungs are perfused by two circulations: the pulmonary and the bronchial. The pulmonary circulation is for oxygenation of blo
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pulmonary circulation transports blood through the alveoli for gas exchange. In this circulation the blood that comes from the veins initially has low oxygenation, and then leaves the right ventricle of the heart through the pulmonary artery, enters the lungs and returns to the heart with arterial and oxygenated blood

The bronchial circulation is well oxygenated and provides oxygen to the lungs. The structures to which this oxygen contributes in lungs are those that do not participate in a gas exchange.

Errorat what blood alcohol level do most social drinkers quit drinking?
denis23 [38]
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is a measure of the quantity of alcohol present in a person's blood stream. Usually, social drinkers do not exceed BAC levels of 0.1. Keep in mind, at BAC levels of 0.08, it is illegal for a person to drive.
At BAC levels above 0.1, high levels of judgement and motor skill impairment occur, with blackouts occurring at BAC levels of 0.2.
