a. birds are the only class of vertebrates that have species that do both.
b. both involve coordinating movements of the forelimbs and hindlimbs.
c. both must counter strong
d. both involve generating lift by pushing down on the air or water to counter gravity.

- Worms use a hydrostatic skeleton to generate movement. How do they do this? a. Their bones are filled with water, which provides the weight of the skeleton. b. The change in body structure is caused by contraction of muscles compressing the watery body fluid. c. The muscles contain water vacuoles, which, when filled, provide a rigid internal structure. d. The term hydrostatic simply refers to moist environment. They generate movement just as arthropods do.arrow_forwardExplain how cats are able to jump from great heights without sustaining injuries.

- Your optometrist shines a light in your eye and notices your pupil constricts (becomes smaller) in response to the light. She tells you the iris (the colored part of the eye) is a muscle that adjusts the size of the pupil automatically in response to the amount of light entering the eye. Based on this information, which type of muscle do you think forms the iris? a. skeletal b. cardiac c. smooth d. visualarrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a reason we become shorter as we age? a.As a person ages, the intervertebral discs become thinner and the vertebrae will be stacked closer together, resulting in shorter stature. b.As a person ages, vertebral bodies lose bone mass (osteoporosis) resulting in smaller vertebrae that stack closer together. c.As a person ages, scoliosis may develop resulting in an abnormal spinal curvature and shorter stature. d.As a person ages, the ligaments connecting vertebrae together are weakened, resulting in a more pronounced kyphosis. This posterior curvature of the spine lowers the skull, making you shorter.arrow_forwardIn a typical insect leg, what part may be composed of 2 to 5 segments? a. Femur b. Trochanter c. Pre-tarsus d.
