Which of the ribs help form the protective part of the rib cage?

Biology
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
7 0
Answer: all of them
The rib cage is formed by 24 ribs (12 pairs). Their function is to protect the lungs, heart, and other internal organs of the thorax. They also enable the lungs to expand, facilitating breathing by expanding the chest cavity.
From those 12 pairs, 7 pairs are "true ribs" directly attached to the sternum and the rest are called "false ribs" because some are suspended or share cartilage that connects to sternum.

What types of foods contain reducing sugars?
andreyandreev [35.5K]
A reducing sugar is any sugar that either has an aldehyde group or is capable of forming one in a reaction thru isomerism. The first example that should come to mind is glucose, which can form a <span>β(1→4)</span> linkage. Sucrose, on the otherhand, is a non-reducing sugar. And is bascially the opposite of a reducing sugar. It doesn't form or have aldehydes in a basic environmet.Hope this helps!!

Motor (efferent) neurons carry information _____ the brain whereas sensory (afferent) neurons carry information ______ the brain
Norma-Jean [14]
Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. They are the links so that information could be processed as electrochemical signals. There are three fundamental kinds of neurons in our body:

1. Motor neurons - they carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to the body parts such as muscle movement
2. Sensory neurons -  they carry signals from other body parts to the CNS
3. Interneurons - interlinking neurons between the brain and the spinal cord

Thus, the correct and complete statement above should be

<span><em>Motor (efferent) neurons carry information </em><em>from </em><em>the brain whereas sensory (afferent) neurons carry information</em><em> to</em><em> the brain.</em></span>
