1 answer:

7 0

The lateral malleolus found on the distal lateral surface of the fibula is responsible for the bony bulge on the lower leg.

The lateral malleolus is the prominence on the outer or lateral side of the ankle. It is pyramidal in form and somewhat flattened. In clinical significance, a bimalleolar fracture is an ankle fracture that involves both the medial and lateral malleolus. This condition is more common in women especially the 60 year old age group. Another clinical condition of the said anatomical structure is the trimalleolar fracture which involves the lateral, medial, and the distal posterior aspect of the tibia or the posterior malleolus. This is primarily caused by ligament damage and dislocation.

Which of these is a type of fungus that can bring on neurological problems when over-ingested?

arsen [322]

I don't know what options do you have but the mold that appears sometimes in our food, making it possible to be ingested can be toxic. The mold, called Penicillium crustosum produces powerful neurotoxins, such as penitrem A, that can penetrate the hematoencephalic barrier leading to toxic effects on the brain.

The autonomic nervous system is involved in controlling what effectors?

Kisachek [45]

The autonomic nervous system is involved in controlling a, c, d, e.

what is the Autonomic nervous system?

The peripheral nervous system's autonomic nervous system (ANS) is in charge of regulating critical processes like digestion, breathing, and heartbeat. In the acute stress response, it collaborates with the endocrine system to get the body ready for fight or flight.

Between the central nervous system and the internal organs, the autonomic nervous system acts as a relay. It regulates the exocrine and endocrine glands, smooth muscle, the heart, the lungs, and the heart. These organs are mostly under the autonomic nervous system's control, which is unconscious.

Hence from the above information, we get to understand that ANS helps to control systems, not in our control hence it will regulate all the given options except skeletal muscles as they are under control.
