The answer to this question would be: vertebrae 

In vertebrae fracture, traction is important to assure immobilization of the vertebrae. Movement can cause the fragment of bone in the fracture damaging the neural tissue in the vertebrae.
To ensure no movement in the neck, metal tongs can be put on the skull. The tongs will help fixate the skull with the shoulder.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

"A frameshift mutation is a type of mutation involving the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in which the number of deleted base pairs is not divisible by three. "Divisible by three" is important because the cell reads a gene in groups of three bases. Each group of three bases corresponds to one of 20 different amino acids used to build a protein. If a mutation disrupts this reading frame, then the entire DNA sequence following the mutation will be read incorrectly."

What interactions are occurring that allow the water to move against gravity in capillary action? Select three options.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Adhesion and surface tension

Explanation:

Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise or fall in a narrow tube. Two main terms are required to explain capillary action; adhesion and cohesion.

Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind while adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of different kinds.

Forces of adhesion causes water to move up in a capillary tube. The water is held as it rises by surface tension forces acting on the circumference of the meniscus. The water keeps rising in the tube until the weight of the water drawn up in the tube balances the surface tension acting at the top column of the water.
