Answer:  sternum I think

Anatomists and health care providers use terminology that can be bewildering to the uninitiated; however, the purpose of this language is not to confuse, but rather to increase precision and reduce medical errors. For example, is a scar “above the wrist” located on the forearm two or three inches away from the hand? Or is it at the base of the hand? Is it on the palm-side or back-side? By using precise anatomical terminology, we eliminate ambiguity. For example, you might say a scar “on the anterior antebrachium 3 inches proximal to the carpus”. Anatomical terms are derived from ancient Greek and Latin words. Because these languages are no longer used in everyday conversation, the meaning of their words do not change.

Anatomical terms are made up of roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition, whereas the prefix or suffix often describes the root. For example, in the disorder hypertension, the prefix “hyper-” means “high” or “over,” and the root word “tension” refers to pressure, so the word “hypertension” refers to abnormally high blood pressure.

Anatomical Position

To further increase precision, anatomists standardize the way in which they view the body. Just as maps are normally oriented with north at the top, the standard body “map,” or anatomical position, is that of the body standing upright, with the feet at shoulder width and parallel, toes forward. The upper limbs are held out to each side, and the palms of the hands face forward as illustrated in Figure 1.4.1. Using this standard position reduces confusion. It does not matter how the body being described is oriented, the terms are used as if it is in anatomical position. For example, a scar in the “anterior (front) carpal (wrist) region” would be present on the palm side of the wrist. The term “anterior” would be used even if the hand were palm down on a table.

Which statement BEST defines emotions? A. Emotions are feelings that randomly occur and for no reason. B. Emotions are feelings
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The correct answer is option "C. Emotions are feelings that are triggered by thoughts or events."

Explanation:

Emotions are feelings that can be triggered by thoughts because emotion on its own is a response. Emotions can show feelings which could also be the product of thoughts. For example, the thought of one passing an exam could trigger an emotional feeling if the goal is achieved, which is evident when one is happy. That emotion could also turn to an emotional feeling of sadness if one fails the exam. Two individuals having the same feeling about something could have different emotions because their thoughts are different. Emotions might be different for similar situations and emotions could also be triggered by reflexes. For example, a child that sees a snake and reacted emotionally whether positively or negatively.

Emotions could also be triggered by events either positively or negatively. Someone could lose control of his or her emotions by reacting to events with feelings like depression, suicidal thoughts.

Answer:

The answer is D, the viruses use the body's cells to make new viruses

Explanation:

For example, see the lysogenic and lytic cycle. The lytic cycle involves the virus taking over metabolic processes of the cell in order to reproduce. Probably skip the lysogenic cycle since it does not kill the cell.
