The range of motion as well as the direction of motion for the various regions of the spine differs. For example the lumbar spin

e is capable of flexion and extension but little rotational movement. While the thoracic spine rotates with little flexion or extension. This is due to variation in ________.
A. the thickness of the intervertebral disc
B. the arrangement of muscular attachment to the spinous processes
C. the composition of the intervertebral disks
D. the orientation of the superior and inferior articular facets

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

A Facet joint is a synovial joint present between the inferior articular process of one vertebra to the superior articular process of another vertebra.

The facet joints form articular pillars which provide the structural stability and can have different orientation depending on the plane or angle they form.

1. When the articulating facets lie parallel to the frontal plane and form 45° angle to the transverse plane then it allows all the movements in the cervical spine.

2.  When the articulating facets 20° to the frontal plane and 60° to the transverse plane then it allows the lateral flexion and rotation in the thoracic spine region.

3. When the articulating facets form 45° to the frontal plane and they are at right angles to the transverse plane then it allows only flexion and extension in the lumbar region.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Answer:

Enzyme catalase is affected by high temperatures

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts which are protein in nature therefore they are sensitive to changes in temperature. Most enzymes have an optimum range of temperature between 35-40°c.

As temperature is increased, the optimum temperature is reached where the rate of reaction is maximum. When beef liver is boiled, hydrogen peroxide is not broken down because higher temperatures denature enzymes making them non effective.

 Testosterone is the primary steroid male sex hormone. Its function is to control the development of male reproductive tissues, to promote secondary sexual characteristics to maintain health (the prevention of osteoporosis for example). It is synthesized from cholesterol and it achieves its effects by binding to androgen receptors on different tissues.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The carbon dioxide is one of the green house gases and mainly responsible for the increase of the earth's temperature. The plants uses the carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis process.

The plants that are exposed to the normal carbon dioxide can be used as a control in this experiment. Then the scientists will notice that if the amount of carbon dioxide is increased, does it show any positive or negative effects in the experiment.
