Answer:

Ozone (O₃) gas

Explanation:

In the Earth's stratosphere, oxygen gas (O₂) is combined with atomic oxygen (O) to form ozone gas (O₃). This is very important because ozone protects the life on Earth from ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun. UV radiation is high-energy radiation, and it is very dangerous for living organisms. Ozone molecule (O₃) absorbs UV radiation and it breaks down by forming O₂ and atomic oxygen (O) again. In this way, it protects the Earth from nocive radiation.

In the glomerulus, a tuft of capillaries in the renal cortex, blood is filtered through the porous capillary walls.
<span><span>
The glomerulus receives its blood supply  (that need to be filtered) from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation and the glomerular capillaries exit into efferent arterioles. The glomerular filtration rate is a rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli.</span> </span>

ANEK [815]
<span>Ian Waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his spinothalamic pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb position because of damage to his lemniscus pathway. </span>

The lateral spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway which carries sensory information like pain and temperature to the brain, across the thalamus. Free nerve endings which are located in the peripheral tissues are sensitive to cell damage. Those are primary neurons and they pass the sensory signal. Primary neurons synapse with secondary which are located in the spinal cord (white matter). These secondary neurons will ascend through the brainstem, medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain, until synapsing in the ventroposteriorlateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus. From the thalamus, the information is sent to cortex (somatosensory cortex).

Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is ascending spinal tract, carrying sensory information to the brain (sensory pathway). It conducts localized sensations of fine touch, vibration and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and extremities (muscles) to the central nervous system (cerebral cortex).

Which body cavity can be subdivided into four quadrants and nine regions:?
vesna_86 [32]

The answer is abdominopelvic cavity


Abdomen is divided into four quadrants and nine regions to make diagnosis and examination of a disease easier. Every quadrants/region has a group organ that might be related to the disease. Since liver is normally located in the upper right, it will be less likely to be found on the lower right quadrant/region.
