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.

A response from the amigdala. The reason for this is that when the medulla starts signalling brain regions that are in upper parts, especially the amigdala, this then triggers the fear response (amigdala is responsible for this) which in turn alerts us on a conscious level that we should leave this room for example and go to somewhere where more oxygen is present.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

This is an example of Harrison's central nervous system working closely with his autonomic nervous system to give him energy and awareness to escape.

Explanation:

Harrison interprets the presence of the group of teenagers as an imminent danger and so he is on the run, which corresponds to a set of reactions that are triggered in the human body when a danger is around. At this point, the central nervous system and the subtonic nervous system are working together to get the adrenaline in Harrison's body to rise to a level that allows him to escape the group of teenagers. The central nervous system was then responsible for receiving and processing information that indicates to Harrison that he may be in danger.  On the other hand, the autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating the body's involuntary responses, being responsible for controlling various vital functions and at this time for the release of adrenaline in response to the dangerous situation.
