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.
Answer:
A. They have the same function
B. They have evolved independently
C. They indicate an evolutionary relationship
Explanation:
- Analogous structures are structures with a different embryonic but have evolved to perform similar function.
- <em><u>Analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution which is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages or different embryonic origin.</u></em>
- Examples of analogous structures include; wings in flying animals like bats, birds, and insects, and fins in animals like penguins and fish.
Most peripheral nerves are nerves outside the brain and the spinal cord, carrying both sensory and motor impulses. The peripheral nervous system is one of the two components of the nervous system, the other part is the central nervous system. Peripheral nerves are classified into motor, sensory and autonomic nerves.
False
Proteins are polymers of molecules called amino acids, some contain thousands. Lipids are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with compounds called fatty acids, therefore they are not polymers because they contain one molecule and are not macromolecules. Hope this helps! :)
