Short answer: Bones structures in the head and chest help to protect vital organs, while bones in the limbs are mainly for movement.

Explanation:

Bones are hard structures that serve different purposes depending on their shape and structure. In the case of bones found in the head or the chest including the occipital bone, the ethmoid bone, among others in the head, and the ribs, sternum, etc. in the chest these are flat bones that together form cavities to protect vital organs such as the brain in the head and the heart and lungs in the chest.

On the other hand, bones in the limbs such as the humerus, the tibia, the radius, etc. are considered as long bones. Moreover, this structure supports their function of providing movement to the body rather than protecting organs as it occurs with flat bones.

Cognitive Psychology question:

N76 [4]

Answer:

Incubation substantially increases the odds of solving a problem, and benefits from long incubation periods with low cognitive workloads. Many guides to effective thinking and problem solving advise the reader to set problems asides for a time.

This happens because during Incubation is that the brain continues to work on the problem below the level of consciousness. This unconscious work results in better solutions because it allows the brain to make to new connections between previously unrelated concepts.

This notion of Unconscious Work during incubation periods is supported by a review of experimental studies and particularly by studies using the Immediate Incubation paradigm. Creative problem solving, in which novel solutions are required, has often been seen as involving a special role for unconscious processes (Unconscious Work) which can lead to sudden intuitive solutions (insights) when a problem is set aside during incubation periods.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

D. "Sucralfate has a moderate acid-neutralizing capacity."

Explanation:

Sucralfate is used to treat peptic ulcers in combination with other drugs. It reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach and forms a viscous material by mechanism of cross-linking. This material has paste like consistency and forms a protective barrier on ulcers by attaching with the proteins on ulcer surface. The barrier does not allow further harm due to action of acid on ulcer. It also does not allow the diffusion of hydrogen ions back into stomach cells. But it is not involved in neutralizing the acid and increasing the pH of stomach. It can show minor antacid activity but that it not considered clinically significant.
