Answer:

hey jason!

Explanation:

PART 1: Offensive Players

• Quarterback (QB) – The field general. He calls the plays, initiates action and handles the “snap.” He either hands the ball to the running back or passes the ball to a receiver. He may also run with the ball.

• Running Back (RB) – Also known as the Halfback. This player does it all. Lining up either behind or beside the quarterback, he runs, he catches, he blocks and he’ll even throw a pass from time to time.

• Fullback (FB) – Like a heartier version of the RB, but in the modern game usually more of a lead blocker out of the backfield. Fullbacks are normally good runners with exceptional strength.

• Offensive Line – There are five offensive linemen. In order from left to right, they are: the Left Tackle (LT), Left Guard (LG), Center (C), Right Guard (RG) and Right Tackle (RT). It is their job to either pass block for the QB so he has time to throw or run block for the RB or FB. Most of the time, with the exception of the Center “snapping” the ball to the QB, offensive linemen do not touch the ball.

• Wide Receivers (WR) – Wide receivers, for the most part, are known as pass catchers. They start the play split out wide from the rest of the formation, at or near the line of scrimmage (an imaginary line that extends from sideline to sideline at the point where the ball is placed) and run pass routes awaiting a pass from the QB. On running plays, they will throw blocks and occasionally take a handoff.

• Tight End (TE) – This player is a hybrid between a receiver and an offensive lineman. Generally, he lines up next to the LT or RT or he can “split out” like a wide receiver. His duties include blocking for both the quarterback and the running backs, but he can also run into the field and catch passes. Tight ends can catch like a receiver, but has the strength and size to dominate on the line.

PART 2: The Defensive Players  

• Defensive Line – This is the first line of defense and consists of three or four players who line up opposite the offensive line. They are two Defensive Ends (DE) on either side and one or two Defensive Tackles (DT). Their job is to shed the blocks of the offensive linemen and tackle ball carriers, usually running backs coming through the line or quarterbacks dropping back to pass. If a player is on the defensive line, they are generally big and strong.

• Linebacker (LB) – As the name implies, the Linebackers back the defensive line. Depending on the defensive alignment, there are usually three or four on the field. Outside linebackers (OLB) stand to the sides of the DEs and Inside linebackers (ILB) or middle linebackers (MLB) stand behind the DTs. LBs are usually responsible for shadowing RBs, TEs and sometimes WRs; rushing the passer; and tackling ball carriers. Those who are linebackers are likely strong and fast.

• Cornerback (CB) – Cornerbacks are usually the fastest player on the defense. They support the run, and might be asked to blitz the QB, but spend most of their time covering wide receivers. This means they try to break up passes, tackle players who catch passes, and try to intercept passes coming their way. There are usually two to four CBs on the field at a time. Cornerbacks should be really fast and capable tacklers.

• Safety (S) – There are two S positions: The Strong Safety (SS) and the Free Safety (FS). The strong safety is usually, well, strong, and fast. They are usually responsible for covering TEs, RBs, and WRs and playing down the field but are often expected to come up in run support. The Free Safety has similar duties but is commonly considered the center fielder, and thus the last line of the defense. A safety should be fast and strong, and be a capable tackler.

Flag Football - Basic Rules

Although rules for flag football may vary, here is an example of a typical league's rules.

• A flag football field is usually around 60-80 yards long and 20-30 yards wide. The end zones are 10 yards long.

• In flag football there are no kickoffs. Whoever wins the coin toss will start with the ball from their own five yard line and will have three plays to cross midfield. Once a team crosses midfield it has another three plays to score a touchdown or else the other team takes over possession from its own five yard line.

• A flag football team consists of six players. Five of those players are allowed on the fieldat a time.

• When a team is within five yards of a touchdown, they are not allowed to run the ball. They must use a passing play.

• The flag football game consists of two halves that are 10-25 minutes in length.

loris [4]

Answer:

b. The ampulla region with highly folded mucosa.

Explanation:

The uterine tubes are two structures that transport the oocyte from the ovary to the uterus. It has four regions, starting with the one closer to the ovaries they are:

Fimbriae: they are ciliated projections that once the ovary releases the oocyte, they capture it and guide it to the interior of the uterine tube.

Infundibulum: this is the portion of the uterine tube that takes the oocyte. It has a conic shape.

Ampulla: It is the region that follows after the infundibulum. It is the longest segment of the ovary ducts, and it is where the sperm meets the oocyte, in other words, where fertilization occurs. The mucosa lining in this area has primary, secondary, and tertiary mucosa folds. They have cells that provide nutrients to the egg and move it towards the uterus.

Isthmus: It is the last part of the uterine tubes. It connects the ampulla to the uterus, and its function is to deliver the eggs to the uterus. The mucosa has fewer folds.

The doctor removed the uterine tube because, even though the fertilization happens in the ampulla of this organ, the fertilized egg then has to move to the uterus to keep its development.

Which of these best describes a common impact of pregnancy for unmarried adolescent partners?
Artist 52 [7]
Fewer job opportunities for the mother, unfortunately, especially if she is pregnant, because people judge, and they won't think she is responsible since she is underage and with child. With the father, it's not like they'll know right away, and they can just walk away and not be bothered with the subject again, while the mother will have to find a job and either manage to balance school, or drop out. The parents don't have to do anything, but they can support there children, but it's still not going to affect if they get job offerings or not.
