Answer:

d. Bursae are flattened fibrous sacs wedged between adjacent structures, while tendon sheaths are elongated fibrous sacs that wrap around tendons.

Explanation:

A bursa is a small pouch full of synovium (which is a fluid discharge) located where a muscle and tendon touch a bone. The bursa is located at this location to reduce friction between bone, muscle and tension. On the other hand, tendon sheaths are structures that form bridges or tunnels between the bone surfaces on which the tendons slide. Its function is to contain the tendon, allowing it an easy gliding.

A significant difference between these two structures is that the bursae are flat fibrous sacs trapped between adjacent structures, while the tendon sheaths are elongated fibrous sacs that surround the tendons.

pogonyaev

Answer:

Coffe table

Explanation:

The coffee table can be used to sit two people in the home. The product is going to be a need because it is going to be more affordable than a couch. The product will be sales oriented because noone really needs this but we can perfect the product to cause a want for it. The reason why I chose this is because itll be a newer product to market so noone will know about it until we create a demand for it through advertisement.

For the advertisment you can use a celebrity photoshopped onto the coffee table or make a funny video of you using it as a seat and it is more comfortable and affordable than a normal couch.

Hope this was helpful!
