Answer:
The human skull consists of 22 bones (or 29, including the inner ear bones and hyoid bone) which are mostly connected together by ossified joints, so called sutures. The skull is divided into the braincase (neurocranium) and the facial skeleton (viscerocranium). Its main task is the protection of the most important organ in the human body: the brain.
The brain is almost entirely enclosed by the neurocranium with the exception of the foramen magnum and other foramina at the skull base which serve as entry and exit point for blood vessels and cranial nerves. Also, the skull provides support for all of the facial structures.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The biggest similarity between the main types of vertebrae is the location where they are found since they are all established on the body's back, precisely on the midline of the back. The main differences, on the other hand, are related to the size and weight of each of them.
2. The similarities exist because all the vertebrae have to promote the support of the body, the back being the most appropriate place for them to establish themselves.
3. The differences are related to the function and type of support that each vertebrae promotes, the higher the level of systemization, the larger and thicker the vertebrae must be.
4. The caudal vertebrae should be similar to the vertebrae of the coccix, since a tail would be a representation of elongation of the coccix. We can reach this conclusion through the analysis of images that promote the visualization of this area of the body.
Answer:
petrified fossils → date sedimentary rocks
You need to know how the structures of plant tissues and organs are directly related to their roles in physiological processes. Plant organs are limited to roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit and cones. Physiological processes are limited to photosynthesis, cellular respiration, transpiration, and reproduction.
