Sternal angle marks the joint between the sternum and the 2nd rib.

Option E.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sternum is the breast bone which is a dorsi ventrally flattened bone present in thorax of human. It gives the support for the ribs where the ribs join. A sternum has three parts - Manubrium sterni, body of sternum and the xyphoid process.

The sternum has attachments of a total of 10 ribs and clavicle. The clavicle and the first rib joins in the Manubrium sterni, and the 3rd to 10th rib joins in the body of sternum. The 2nd rib joins in a facet which is partly in Manubrium sterni and partly in body of sternum. This place id also called the sternal angle. So the sternal angle marks the joint of 2nd rib to sternum.

just olya [345]

Explanation:

Since Charles found that the volume is directly proportional to temperature when the mass and pressure remain constant this means that with increase in temperature, there will be increase in volume.

Mathematically,       V \propto T at constant Pressure

This equation represents the relationship in Charles' law.

What factors explain the difference in biodiversity between the tundra and the tropical rain forest?
Natali [406]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The difference in biodiversity between the tundra and the tropical rain forest would be that warmer temperatures and higher average rainfall in the tropical rainforest allow more things to survive. Hope this answers the question.

How can this PLR (pupillary light reflex) help you determine whether the lesion is in the eye itself or elsewhere?
Contact [7]

Answer:

Pupillary light reflex refers to the contraction that the pupils present when they light up. In cases of injury to the optic nerve, when the eye where the injured optic nerve is illuminated, since it cannot conduct the stimulus to the brain, neither pupil closes.

Explanation:

Pupillary light reflex refers to the reaction that causes the pupil to close with light thanks to the contraction of the sphincter of the pupil and to open in the dark thanks to the relaxation of that muscle by not receiving any stimulus. A light stimulus reaches the eye and in the retina it is transformed, through a chemical reaction, into an electrical stimulus that will be transmitted through the optic nerve and the visual pathways to the brain. The visual cells of the retina, rods and cones, also act as light receptors that control the pupil's motor activity. Thus, pupil-motor thresholds to light follow the same spectral sensitivity deviations as visual thresholds, which are a function of the state of light adaptation of the retina.
