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.

Leaf anatomy. Did I label this diagram correctly?
grin007 [14]

Yes, you've labelled them correctly. For your reference, here are a few details for each leaf structure in the labels.

Cuticle: Also can be called as waxy cuticle, it can help reduce water loss from the leaf, since it is impermeable to water. It is usually thicker in the top of the leaf comparing to the bottom side of the leaf, as the sunlight shining on the top of the leaf can increase the chance of water evaporation.

Upper epidermis: They're cells which act as barriers. They can prevent the entry of diseases. They're also so thin and transparent that sunlight can be passed through.

Palisade mesophyll cells: They're the main location for photosynthesis, where the plant make energy by using sunlight. Chloroplasts, which absorbs sunlight, are mostly in these cells, (although they also exist in other leaf parts, but not as many).

Xylem and Phloem: They're collectively called the vascular bundle, or vein. Xylem transports water and mineral ions from soil to leaf, and phloem transports sugar and amino acids from places of production (leaf) to places for usage or storage.  

Spongy mesophyll cells: They also have a few chloroplasts, but not as many as palisade mesophyll cells. They're loosely packed to allow gas to pass through and exchange.

Lower epidermis: similar function to upper epidermis.

For further notice, note that the missing structures from the diagram are guard cells and stomata, usually lies in the lower epidermis. Stomata are pores which allows waste products from photosynthesis (oxygen) to evaporate away and carbon dioxide from the air outside to enter the leaf. Guard cells are just the cells around the stomata, controlling the size of the stomata to increase or reduce water loss/carbon dioxide intake.

Place the following statements in the correct order in the blanks below to describe how
8090 [49]

The correct order in the blanks are as follows: <u>C A E F G B</u>

c. glucose is actively transported in to the phloem

a. Water enters the phloem through osmosis

e. Pressure from the leaves pushes the water and glucose through the phloem

f. An area of low glucose concentration is reached

g. Glucose is actively transported out of the phloem

b. Water exits the phloem through osmosis

<h3>What is translocation?</h3>

The transport of sugar created during photosynthesis to all other areas of the plant for respiration and the other activities mentioned above is known as translocation.

Utilizing light energy, plants use photosynthesis to convert the inorganic chemicals carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Respiration uses a portion of the glucose created by photosynthesis. The seven biological processes receive energy as a result.
