Because there is no indication of what's the highlighted structure I'm going to tell you where all the four muscles of the quadriceps femoris originate from.
The vastus lateralis originates on the greater trochanter and the lateral lip of linea aspera. The vastus intermedius originates on the lateral and anterior surfaces of the femur's body. The vastus medialis originates on the medial lip of the linea aspera and the intertrochanteric line. Rectus femoris originates, superior to the acetabulum, on the ilium.

Answer from: babyboogrocks5572

Quadriceps muscles are involved in hip flexor and knee extensor. Quadriceps muscles are made up of four individual muscles, which are three vastus muscles and rectus femoris. These muscles collectively are the strongest muscles in the body. The muscles are found in the anterior regions of the thigh.

The four muscles of quadriceps work collectively to allow walking, running, and standing. These muscles have different originate points, such as:

1. Vastus lateralis originates from the lateral hip of linea aspera on the greater trochanter.

2. Vastus intermedius originates from the anterior and lateral surfaces of femur.

3. Vastus medialis originates from the medial lip of linea aspera.

4. Rectus femoris originates from the superior of the acetabulum on the ilium.

Therefore, the four quadriceps muscles are three vastus and rectus femoris. These muscles have different originate pathway.

Well, both latitude and intensity of light affect temperature because, the higher the light intensity, the higher the temperature and since latitude is the measure of how close you are to the equator, then the closer to the equator you are, the higher the temperature is.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

1. variations in a population of moths allow for some of its members to be able to adapt to environmental changes. the better adapted of the moths will be able to survive the change and thus prevail as the “fittest” of the species. (a) describe three mechanisms in which variation can occur within a species population. (b) explain which mechanism or mechanisms would be responsible for the survival of a population of peppered moths better than white moths in an environment affected by industrial soot. justify your answer.

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.
