Answer:

The correct answer would be ribs (rib cage), skull and spine.

Explanation:

Our skeletal system provides support to the body, shapes and protects vital organs. There are three major and most important bones that protect our vital organs. These three bones are - ribs or rib cage, skull, and spine.

The rib cage or ribs protect the most important organs of the body - heart, and lungs. Ribs are attached to the vertebral column and sternum in the thorax.

Skull is also protecting one of the most important organs which are the brain. The brain is a very vital and sensitive organ. Skull is consists of twenty-two bones.

Spine has 33 vertebrae bones that interlock to form the spinal column. It protects the spinal cord, nerve roots, and other organs.

Thus, the correct answer would be ribs, skull, and spine.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Hearing

Listening

Explanation:

Hearing refers to the vibration of sound waves on the ear drums and the sending of messages to the central auditory system of the brain. The mechanism involve the use of Pinna also known as auricle to gather sound waves which is transferred into the tympanic membrane along the air canal.In the tympanic, sound waves vibrate following the waveform of the sound.

In the middle ear, the ossicles of the middle ear(malleus, incus, stape) assist in the transmission of the vibrations from the tympanic membrane  into the inner ear (the cochlea).

The cochlea serve as a mechanical-neural transduction pathway,  it helps to transmit sound information via the auditory nerve to the cochlear nucleus in the brainstem.

Listening refers to paying close attention to and making sense of those sounds perceived from the surrounding environment . It is the ability to get the right information without any misinterpretation in the communication process. It is the key to any effective communication.

Why does scientific theories change ?
suter [353]

It depends on whatever it's real or just a simple theory. But, at times it may not be simple as it seems, because theories are often left as theories. In the near future (or even now) they'll be testing to see if theories can be proven as a fact!

Good luck!
