Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:  A. Petrous part B. Mastoid process C. Tympanic part D. Squamous part. The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Squamous part represents most of the lateral surface of the temporal bone. It is located on the external acoustic meatus. Its surface is smooth on the outside and slightly convex on the inside wall. It is the area in contact with the parietal and has two portions, one vertical and the other a small horizontal portion, divided by the zygomatic process. The external face of the vertical portion is convex and smooth, presents a vascular groove with an upward and backward direction for the middle meningeal artery, and is covered by the temporal muscle. The horizontal crest, a rearward extension of the zygomatic process, is the mastoid crest or temporal line and indicates the level of the floor of the middle cranial fossa. This line is important because it will be the upper limit of the mastoidectomy. Above and slightly posterior to the EAC, a pointed process is observed, the suprathetic spine or Henle's spine and behind, the cribriform or supramathetic fossa. The inner face of the vertical portion of the temporalis scales covers part of the temporal lobe of the brain, it is part of the middle cranial fossa, and in it impressions of the cerebral convolutions and a deep groove for the middle meningeal artery are observed.

Why is it important to warm up before and cool down after physical activity?
mestny [16]

Explanation:

A warmup gradually revs up your cardiovascular system by raising your body temperature and increasing blood flow to your muscles. Warming up may also help reduce muscle soreness and lessen your risk of injury. Cooling down after your workout allows for a gradual recovery of preexercise heart rate and blood pressure.

Why must the chemical make up of food be changed?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

If you are referring to digestion...

Well your body cannot take in food as is because your body cannot absorb it. What digestion does is it actually picks out what the body can take in and gets rid of everything else that cannot pass through the mucosa (lining of the digestive tract).

Aside from this, your body actually uses food as a source of nutrients that are needed for your different cells to function. So the digestive system transforms it into a form that the cells of your body can use to perform their function. Many of these nutrients are used for not only maintaining the organs but for repair and replacement too.
