Answer:
The abiotic characteristics of an ecosystem that affects man includes: Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity.
Explanation:
In the ecosystem, man occupies the terrestrial habitat which is affected by the abiotic factors listed above.
Abiotic (non- living) factors determine the type of biotic (living) community that is found in an ecosystem. These factors include Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity, just to mention a few.
--> LAND SURFACE: This is responsible for the marked variation in the vegetation of a place. For example, a mountain in the tropics may have a rain forest vegetation at it's base and an afroalpine vegetation near its peak. The gradient of the slope affects the growth of organisms. A steep slope encourage fast run - off of water and therefore encourages erosion, which results in shallow and infertile soil. This in turn AFFECT man's farming activities as there would be little to no crop yield.
--> RAINFALL: Water is a very important abiotic factor that affects life. The main source of water to terrestrial habitat is rainfall. When rain falls, a greater percentage of it sinks into the soil while the rest run- off into water bodies. Water is absorbed by root hairs into the plant and used for photosynthesis to produce food. The absence of rainfall in the environment of man could lead to drought which AFFECTS man negatively.
--> RELATIVE HUMIDITY: This is a measure of the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. It's usually high in hot wet regions. It affects the rate at which water evaporates from the body surfaces of organisms. Low relative humidity cause more water (sweat) to evaporate from body surfaces giving the human body a cooling effect. But in high relative humidity, the sweat cannot evaporate leaving the body feeling hot and sticky. This AFFECTS man as the body tries to cool off in a harder way by increasing rate of respiration and depth of blood circulation.
Regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, and digestive functions are carried out by the <u>autonomic nervous system</u>

What is autonomic nervous system?
The peripheral nervous system's autonomic nervous system (ANS), originally known as the vegetative nervous system (VNS), provides smooth muscle and glands, which in turn affects how internal organs work. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that regulates body processes like the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, and urination mainly subconsciously. The fundamental mechanism in charge of the fight-or-flight response is this system.
Through the brainstem, the spinal cord, and the organs, integrated reflexes control the autonomic nervous system. Control of respiration, cardiac regulation (the cardiac control center), vasomotor activity (the vasomotor center), and other reflex acts including coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting are all examples of autonomic functions.

Answer:
Sun
Explanation:
Sun is the only star in our solar system, and planets orbit around it. Our solar system is the part of Milky way (located in one of the outer bands of the Milky way), and the Milky way is the part of the Universe (Universe is made up of billions of galaxies, and Milky way is one of those galaxies). Hence, in the given options, the Sun is the part of all of the other options given.
The humerus-
A long bone of the upper forelimb. It articulates proximally with the scapula to form the soulder joint and distally with the radius and ulna to form the elbow joint.
<span>Proximally the humerus has a rounded projection known as the head. </span>
Cranially at the lateral aspect of the head is a large prominence- the greater tubercle. The lesser tubercle lies medially. Both tubercles act as a sight for muscle attachment. At the distal end of the humerus is a condyle which articulates with the radius & ulna & forms part of the elbow.
The diaphysis of the humerus is twisted.
<span>In the dog a supra condylar foramen is present- a large hole in the condyle.
</span>
The Femur-This is the thigh bone and is the largest bone in the body, it is a long bone and is similar in structure to the humerus in that it has a head, neck, shaft & lateral & medial condyles. The femoral head articulates with the acetabulum proximally to form the hip joint, lateral to the head is the greater trochanter and on the medialTh side is a lesser trochanter (for muscle attachment). At the distal end of the femur are 2 condyles that articulate with the tibia to form the stifle joint. Between the 2 condyles is the trochlear groove along which the patella can move.
Here is some information. Hope this helps ☺
