Answer:

The upper lateral quadrant.

Explanation:

The breast is a glandular and fatty tissue that lies on the top of the pectoral muscles of the chest. It is made up of fatty tissues, glands, and connective tissue ligaments that attach it to the muscles.

The glands are the functional units as they are where the milk is produced. These glands are divided into 15 to 20 lobes of glands demarcated by fatty and connective tissues. Each lobe is made up of lobules where milk is produced. They are various ducts that carry the milk and they open up on the nipple.

The breast is usually divided into four imaginary quadrants during clinical examination. The upper lateral quadrant has an extension of breast tissues into the armpit. This is referred to as the Tail of Spence or axillary tail.

The tail of Spence has axillary lymph nodes around it and plays a key role in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Why or how are calories "wasted" during gluconeogenesis?
ira [324]

luconeogenesis is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms.[2] In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys. In ruminants, this tends to be a continuous process.[3] In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. The process is highly endergonic until it is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP, effectively making the process exergonic. For example, the pathway leading from pyruvate to glucose-6-phosphate requires 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP to proceed spontaneously. Gluconeogenesis is often associated with ketosis. Gluconeogenesis is also a target of therapy for type 2 diabetes, such as the antidiabetic drug, metformin, which inhibits glucose formation and stimulates glucose uptake by cells.[4] In ruminants, because dietary carbohydrates tend to be metabolized by rumen organisms, gluconeogenesis occurs regardless of fasting, low-carbohydrate diets, exercise, etc.[5]

Your aunt grows sprouts hydroponically. from where do her plants get nutrients?
larisa [96]
Hydroponics way of growing, is way of farming, in which plants are grown in nutrient rich water. So, in Hydroponic growing of sprouts, sprouts get their nutrients from the nutrients supply like liquid fertilizers which are mixed with the water. It is one of the advantage of hydroponic means of growing because, unlike in soil system, the plants root does not have to work hard to get nutrient from underground. The easy availability of nutrients and other condition like water, pH level etc makes plants grow faster are fuller.

Also, advancement of technology have made it possible to prepare built-in hybrid hydroponic system which have multiple ways of delivering nutrient to specific plants.
