In mid-ocean ridge areas, ocean water is cycled through the crust because of the high heat flow in the area. Water in the rock is heated over the magmas, rising up and drawing in cold water from the sides. This process is occurring all over the world, and is the primary means for maintaining ocean salinity in a relatively constant range over the long term, as elements in the sea water when it is heated react with the rocks. There is so much water flow, cumulatively over the entire world, that this process basically buffers ocean chemistry.

Obviously large increases or decreases in salinity can and do occur in isolated basins that do not have free exchange with the open oceans.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Pericentric, inversion loop.

Explanation:

Chromosomal inversion may be defined as the rearrangement of chromosome that may get reversed and attached. Two main types of inversion are pericentric inversion and paracentric inversion.

The pericentric inversion involves the inversion of chromsome and centromere is involved in this inversion. M Q P O • N R S T , in this case centromere is present and shows the pericentric inversion. The structure that forms during the synapsis is known as inversion loop.

Trace the blood flow beginning with the left ventricle to the first digit of the left foot and back
Reika [66]

As the left ventricle contracts, oxygenated blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta. The blood to lower limb flows through descending aorta, which continues down to Left Common Femoral Artery, which continues down to Left Superficial Femoral Artery, which continues down to Left Popliteal Artery. The Left Popliteal Artery gives 2 divisions.

1. Left Tibioperoneal Artery (which continues down to the Left Posterior Tibial Artery which supplies back of the foot.)

2. Left Anterior Tibial Artery (which continues down to Left Dorsalis Pedis Artery which continues down to <em>Left First Dorsal Metatarsal Artery</em> which supplies the big toe/first digit of foot.)
