Answer:

If your cartilage, muscles, or tendons put too much pressure on a nerve, it might not be able to work right. This can cause numbness. An injury or overuse can cause a pinched nerve. Sometimes it's due to health problems like arthritis, a narrowing of the spaces between the bones in your spine, or a tumor on the spine.

Where is abdominal injury most likely to occur in young children?

Kazeer [188]

Liver

In pediatric patients, the liver and spleen are very large in proportion to the size of the abdominal cavity and are more easily injured. The soft, flexible ribs of infants and young children do not protect these two organs very well and may allow injury to underlying organs, even without fracturing the ribs.

4) Study the wings of the birds in the two images below. Which of the following words applies to only one of the wing structures

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The answer is A) Homologous structures

Explanation:

Homologous Structures:

Homologous structures are anatomical features in an organism that are structurally and functionally diverse but they originate from a single common ancestor.
Homologous structures possess a similar basic internal structure but can have entirely different morphology and function.
For example, the wings of a bat and a human's arm have the same internal structure but they have different functions.

Vestigial structures are evolutionary remnants that no longer serve a purpose in modern forms or descendants of the original organism.
Inherited and developmental are out of context in terms of evolutionary relationships.

Which statement correctly compares mass and weight?

hram777 [196]

Answer:

D. Weight varies with location, but mass does not vary

Explanation:

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, the weight of an object is given by the formula;

$Weight = mg$

Where;

m is the mass of the object.
g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Mass can be defined as a measure of the amount of matter an object or a body comprises of. The standard unit of measurement of the mass of an object or a body is kilograms.

Irrespective of the location of an object or a body at a given moment in time, the mass (amount of matter that they're made up of) is constant. This ultimately implies that, whether you're in the moon, space, earth or any other place, your mass remains the same (constant).

<em>Hence, the statement that correctly compares mass and weight is that, weight varies with location, but mass does not vary. This is simply because acceleration due to gravity changes with location i.e its value varies with the planets.</em>
