Answer:

The humerus-

A long bone of the upper forelimb. It articulates proximally with the scapula to form the soulder joint and distally with the radius and ulna to form the elbow joint.

Proximally the humerus has a rounded projection known as the head.

Cranially at the lateral aspect of the head is a large prominence- the greater tubercle. The lesser tubercle lies medially. Both tubercles act as a sight for muscle attachment. At the distal end of the humerus is a condyle which articulates with the radius & ulna & forms part of the elbow.

The diaphysis of the humerus is twisted.

In the dog a supra condylar foramen is present- a large hole in the condyle.

The Femur-This is the thigh bone and is the largest bone in the body, it is a long bone and is similar in structure to the humerus in that it has a head, neck, shaft & lateral & medial condyles. The femoral head articulates with the acetabulum proximally to form the hip joint, lateral to the head is the greater trochanter and on the medialTh side is a lesser trochanter (for muscle attachment). At the distal end of the femur are 2 condyles that articulate with the tibia to form the stifle joint. Between the 2 condyles is the trochlear groove along which the patella can move.

<h3>Hypoxic water </h3>

Hypoxic waters are waters with low concentration of oxygen and this can be caused by the presence of excessive nutrients such as nitrogen. and also can be caused by layering. These are caused by saline gradients.

The excessive nutrients present in hypoxic water support the growth algal and eutrophication.

Hence we can conclude that The pollution types that will result in most hypoxic waters is : Fossil fuel burning and Agricultural runoff

How does a volcanic eruption affect the Earth's atmosphere?
Luden [163]

Answer:

The gases and dust particles thrown into the atmosphere during volcanic eruptions have influences on climate. Most of the particles spewed from volcanoes cool the planet by shading incoming solar radiation. The cooling effect can last for months to years depending on the characteristics of the eruption. Volcanoes have also caused global warming over millions of years during times in Earth’s history when extreme amounts of volcanism occurred, releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
