Answer:
This question is asking to identify the directional relationship between the following organs. They are explained below.
Explanation:
1. The heart is MEDIAL to the lungs because it is located towards the middle in relation to the right and left lungs.
2. The knee is DISTAL to the hip because it is farther away from the point of attachment of the hip joint.
3. The wrist is PROXIMAL to the hand because the wrist is closest to the point of origin of the hand.
4. The mouth is INFERIOR to the nose because it is lower in direction to the nose.
5. The thorax is SUPERIOR to the abdomen because it is located above the abdomen.
6. The thumb is DISTAL to the ring finger because it is far away from the ring finger.
7. The sternum is ANTERIOR to the heart because it lies in front of the heart
8. The skull is SUPERFICIAL to the scalp because it is close to the body surface.
9. The ears are LATERAL to the nose because it is towards the middle line of the nose
10. Dorsal refers to the BACK of the human body, while ventral refers to the FRONT of the human body.
Answer:
Pressure is simply the force experienced by an object divided by the area of the surface on which the force acts. Note that the force here is the force acting perpendicular to the surface. The unit for pressure is the pascal, Pa.

Answer and explanation:
The meninges
There are actually 3 parts—dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater.
The brain is soft and mushy, and without structural support it would not be able to maintain its normal shape. In fact, a brain taken out of the head and not properly suspended (e.g., in saline solution) can tear simply due to the effects of gravity. While the bone of the skull and spine provide most of the safeguarding and structural support for the central nervous system (CNS), alone it isn't quite enough to fully protect the CNS. The meninges help to anchor the CNS in place to keep, for example, the brain from moving around within the skull. They also contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which acts as a cushion for the brain and provides a solution in which the brain is suspended, allowing it to preserve its shape.
The outermost layer of the meninges is the dura mater, which literally means "hard mother." The dura is thick and tough; one side of it attaches to the skull and the other adheres to the next meningeal layer, the arachnoid mater. The dura provides the brain and spinal cord with an extra protective layer, helps to keep the CNS from being jostled around by fastening it to the skull or vertebral column, and supplies a complex system of veinous drainage through which blood can leave the brain.
The arachnoid gets its name because it has the consistency and appearance of a spider web. It is much less substantial than the dura, and stretches like a cobweb between the dura and pia mater. By connecting the pia to the dura, the arachnoid helps to keep the brain in place in the skull. Between the arachnoid and the pia there is also an area known as the subarachnoid space, which is filled with CSF. The arachnoid serves as an additional barrier to isolate the CNS from the rest of the body, acting in a manner similar to the blood-brain barrier by keeping fluids, toxins, etc. out of the brain.
