The talocrural joint is formed by the _____,_____, and _____

Biology
1 answer:
pshichka [43]4 years ago

Answer:

a. Tibia

b. Fibula

c. Talus

Explanation:

The ankle joint consists of three bones: the fibula, the tibia and the talus. The first two make up a vault in which the dome of the third fits. It allows, above all, forward and backward turning movements, which are flexion and extension movements of the foot. In the lateral sense, the tops of the peroneal maleolus and tibial maleolus, which are the two bony appendages that continue fibula and tibia on both sides and downward, prevent a complete movement of lateral rotation although they do allow their onset.

The talus rests on the calcaneus (the bone that forms the heel) forming a fairly flat joint, without great movement. This subastragaline joint is a source of conflict as it supports the transmission of body weight forces and governs fine movements of foot stability. When the cartilage of this joint deteriorates, an arthritic degeneration and pain occurs, which sometimes forces surgical intervention to suppress or relieve it.

Why is nonpoint source pollution more difficult to control than point source pollution?.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

<em><u>Some water pollution is caused from “point sources” that is discrete locations, from which pollutants are discharged, e.g., a pipe, ditch, ship, or factory smokestack. Point sources originate in large and easy to trace facilities, hence are easier to control. In contrast, pollution from “nonpoint” sources is cumulative, arising from multiple inputs over larger areas, such as farms, city streets, and residential neighbourhoods. Hence, such sources are harder to precisely identify, and because of this uncertainty, nonpoint source pollution is harder to control than the point source.</u></em>

The startle reflex occurs when
Phoenix [80]
This startle reflex (aka moro reflex) is/was present in us as newborns.

It's triggered when there's an unexpected reaction. Example: Loud noise, sudden movement.

The baby will tighten his/her body, fling out arms, sort of like giving him/herself a hug. It happens because the baby is trying to protect itself from harm.

It normally leaves thanks to the mother's care, normally 6 weeks after the newborn is born.
