Answer: Osteoarthritis

Explanation: Osteoarthritis is a condition that normally occurs due to the wear and tear of the joints, and it mostly affects the elderly. It commonly affects weight-bearing joints such as the spine, hips, and knees. The disease causes the smooth lining of a joint—the articular cartilage—to crack and flake. As the cartilage deteriorates, the underlying bone becomes thickened and distorted. Because movement becomes painful, the muscles begin to decline from lack of use.

The symptoms of osteoarthritis are episodes of pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joint area, which sometimes results in knobby-looking joints.

Why is the fossil named Ida so important to comparative anatomists?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Fossils are usually named based on the following conditions-

  • the location in which they are found
  • named after the scientist who discovers it
  • the rock formation in which they are found
  • They are given two names, the genus and the species

These fossils are again categorized into different groups depending on the similarity in terms of form.

These names of the fossils are important to the comparative anatomists because it helps them in doing the comparative study and understand the causes of similarities and dissimilarities in terms of anatomy and also helps in understanding the evolutionary process of these organisms. For example, the fossil named 'Ida' is the primitive fossil that was found to be almost completely preserved. This fossil helped in comparative studies with other fossil species in a number of ways.

during reabsorption of water in the proximal convoluted tubule, what causes water to diffuse from the lumen into the interstitia
castortr0y [4]

Water diffuses from the lumen into the interstitial space during the reabsorption of water in the proximal convoluted tubule due to an increase in the interstitium's osmolarity.

Reabsorption is the process by which water and solutes from the PCT are injected into the blood. From the  proximal convoluted tubule, the solutes and water go to the interstitium before entering the peritubular capillaries. The majority of the solutes and 99 percent of the water filtered by the nephron must be reabsorbed; all of these chemicals were "absorbed" in the digestive tract. The peritubular and vasa recta capillaries return reabsorbed fluids and chemicals to the circulation.

The distinction between sensation and perception ______. Group of answer choices
Ratling [72]

<u>Answer</u>:

The distinction between the sensation and perception allows the researchers to distinguish between the information processed by the receptors versus the information processed in the cortex.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The sensation is a process by which the sensory receptors take up the signals or stimuli from its surroundings and send it to the brain through nerves. Whereas, in the process of perception the brain organizes, combines and makes patterns from the given stimuli and gives the response to the particular stimuli accordingly.

Both sensation and perception are connected to each other hence if one doesn’t work then the other automatically stops working.
