Answer:

Central pattern generators

Explanation:

A central pattern generator (CPG) is a neuronal circuit consisting of neurons localized in the spinal cord capable of producing rhythmic outputs. CPGs are able to produce rhythmic movements even when the spinal cord is separated from the brain and sensory organs. CPGs are the main components of motor functions including, among others, breathing, flying, chewing, walking, swimming, etc. These neural circuits have been discovered in almost all vertebrates studied to date.

Compounds can be separated by physical methods is the statement about compounds that is false.

The atoms of the different elements that form a compound are held together by chemical bonds (covalent and ionic) that are not easy to break. The component of a compound can only be separated by chemical means and not by physical methods. An example of a compound is water (H2O) which is composed of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms.

A fetus develops in such a way that the type II cells of the lungs never develop, resulting in no production of surfactant in th
g100num [7]

Due to the high surface tension, the lungs remain crushed and you will not be able to breathe first.

During fertilization, the sperm and egg combine in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. The zygote then descends the fallopian tube into a morula. Upon reaching the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst. The blastocyst then burrows into the inner wall of the uterus. This is a process called implantation.

The prenatal development process occurs in three major stages. The first two weeks after conception are called the germination period, the third to eighth weeks are called the fetal period, and the period from the ninth week to birth is called the fetal period.
