Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Tensor veli palatini".

Explanation:

Masseter muscle plays an important role in chewing solid foods while the tensor veli palatini acts elevating the palate and preventing that food goes into the nasopharynx. A progressive degeneration of the motor axons that innervate the masseter muscle will likely produce a similar effect in the tensor veli palatini muscle. Not only both muscles have functions during chewing of food, but also both muscles are controlled by similar motor axons.

If the object shown has a mass of 80g, what is the density?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

C. 1.23 g/ml

Explanation:

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass of rock = 80g

Volume of rock = final fluid volume - initial fluid volume

Volume of rock = 265 cm³ - 200 cm³ = 65 cm³

Density = \frac{80g}{65 cm^3}

Density = 1.23 g/cm^3

1 cm³ = 1 ml

Therefore, density of the object = 1.23 g/ml
