Answer:

The correct answer is C. <em>Greater throcanter of the femur.</em>

Explanation:

Hip fractures describe all those fractures that occur in the proximal extremity of the femur.

According to the location of the fracture in the extremity, it can affect the femoral head, the femoral neck, the trochanter of the femur or the area under the femur.

Most of the hip fractures occur in older people, mostly in women, and mainly, the causes of fractures are falls or missteps.

For the treatment, there are some surgery options, among other more conservatory. One of them is <u>hip pinning</u>, which is considered a good option for fractures that occur in the<u> greater and lesser part of the trochanter</u> in the femur bone.

_______________ refers to the tendency of a foundation material (such as soil) that is water-logged to lose its internal cohesio
dybincka [34]

Answer:

<u>Liquefaction</u> refers to the tendency of a foundation material (such as soil) that is water-logged to lose its internal cohesion and mechanically fail to provide support during earthquake shaking.

Explanation:

Liquefaction occurs when an unbound material (usually sand), which is saturated in water, loses its resistance to shear due to intense and rapid vibration (earthquake), which breaks its granular structure by reducing its inter-granular pressure and flow like a liquid because of an increase in pressure.

Liquefaction usually manifests itself in loose, saturated and non-cohesive soils, formed by young deposits of sands and sediments of similar particle sizes. If the soil is dense there will be less chances of liquefaction. Older deposits, in general, are more dense and cohesive. At higher density, more interstitial pressure is needed for liquefaction to occur.

How does the change in the estrogen level corrrespond to the gradual thickening of the uterine lining
vfiekz [6]
<span>The gradual thickening of the uterine lining also called Endometrial Hyperplasia is often caused by having excess estrogen without enough progesterone to balance it. During menstruation, the estrogen causes the lining to thicken in preparation for pregnancy. When the progesterone is made during the second half of the cycle and the progesterone levels drop, the lining is shed. And if the ovulation didn’t occur, progesterone is not made and the lining is not shed properly, the lining will keep on building gradually that may lead to cancer in some women.         </span>

Answer:

I wasn't sure what you were asking

Explanation:

The fluid mosaic model explains various observations regarding the structure of functional cell membranes. According to this biological model, there is a lipid bilayer (two molecules thick layer consisting primarily of amphipathic phospholipids) in which protein molecules are embedded.
