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

Biology
1 answer:

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.

Calculate percentage change in mass for chip 5
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 14.41%.

Explanation:

Given:

The initial mass of chip 5 -

end mass of chip 5 -

Percent Change in Mass =  /

Formula used:

Mass Difference= Final Mass- Initial Mass

Percent Change in Mass = (Mass Difference/Initial Mass) *100

Solution:

Putting the value in the formula:

Mass Difference = 2.15 - 1.84

= 0.31

Percent Change in Mass = (0.31/2.15)*100

= 14.41

Thus, the correct answer is - 14.41.

Free palmitate is activated to palmitoyl-CoA in the cytosol before it can be oxidized in the mitochondria. If palmitate and [14
Bingel [31]
<h2>Fatty acid oxidation </h2>

Explanation:

  • Activation of fatty acids (palmitate) occurs in the cytoplasm where fatty acids are activated to fatty acyl CoA, reaction catalysed by an enzyme called fatty acyl CoA synthetase
  • A specialized carnitine carrier system catalyze transportation of activated fatty acid from cytoplasm to matrix of mitochondria, where carnitine system consists of three proteins:
  • Carnitine acyl transferase I located in outer membrane of mitochondria catalyze transfer of carnitine to fatty acyl CoA and produce fatty acyl carnitine
  • Carnitine translocase facilitate passive diffusion of fatty acyl carnitine from inter membrane space to matrix located in inner membrane
  • Carnitine acyl transferase III located in inner mitochondrial membrane at matrix phase catalyze transfer of CoA to fatty acyl carnitine and regenerate fatty acyl CoA

Hence, the cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are thus kept separate, and no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondria

Why are newborn infants given a single injection of vitamin k?
Fed [463]
<span>Vitamin K clots the blood and stops excessive bleeding. There is a blood disorder called vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB). It is thought that newborns do not get enough vitamin K from their mothers so this injection could prevent VKDB from developing.</span>
