The thoracic cavity contains the ________. It is found ________ to the vertebral cavity.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: The thoracic cavity contains the heart, lungs and many of the main vessels of the circulatory system. It is found anterior to the vertebral cavity.

Explanation:

The thoracic cavity is the second largest hollow space of the body and it is the space limited by the ribs, the vertebral column, and the sternum. It is the upper region of the body starting from the neck and ending where the diaphragm ends. So, it is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm. It contains 12 ribs, and 7 of them attach directly to the sternum, 3 attach to the sternum via cartilages and 2 do not attach to the sternum at all and are called floating ribs. The cavity contains several organs, such as the lungs, heart, great vessels and esophagus.

The abdominal cavity spaces around the organs are filled with the core muscles that attach to the posterior spine. Besides. the ribs vertically, horizontally and across the abdominal region.

The vertebral cavity is the posterior portion of the dorsal cavity, it contains the spinal cord within the vertebral column, the meninges and the fluid-filled spaces between them. It is formed by the vertebrae through which the spinal cord passes.

<u>The thoracic cavity is anterior to the vertebral cavity, because anterior describes the front or direction toward the front of the body</u>.

Nostrana [21]
A hypothesis is an educated guess. This is part of the scientific method developed in science to explain natural phenomena in the environment. Usually scientists use the hypothesis in their controlled experiments. 

Whether it is a fact or not scientists use the hypothesis as a basis or a starting point for further explanations. This is known as the scientific hypothesis. When an educated guess yields the same results over time, the answer is called a theory. Something that is widely accepted but still needs to be proven and investigated further.

The sporophyte of an unknown plant species grows as a separate plant than the gametophyte. The plant produces both female and fl
N76 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "The plant is a fern, and sporophyte is its dominant phase".

Ferns refer to the lower plants which do not bear flowers, have leafy or feathery fronds, and they reproduce by spores.

They show alternation of generation in which sporophyte is the dominant stage.

The mature diploid sporophyte releases haploid spores with the help of meiotic divisions.

The haploid spore divides by mitotic division and matures into a haploid gametophyte. The single gametophyte bears antheridium and archegonium which release flagellated male gametes and egg (female gamete) respectively with the help of mitotic division.

The gametes fertilize to produce a diploid zygote.

The zygote divides mitotically and matures into the diploid sporophyte.
