What is the function of the sebaceous gland?

The esophagus is located in the thoracic cavity, which is the space between the lungs and the chest wall. The thoracic cavity also contains the heart, aorta, trachea, thymus gland, bronchial tubes, and many lymph nodes.

Choice A is wrong because the ventral cavity is a general term for the body cavity that includes the thoracic and abdominal cavities.

Choice B is wrong because the abdominal cavity is the space below the diaphragm that contains the stomach, small and large intestines, spleen, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.

Choice D is wrong because the dorsal cavity is another general term for the body cavity that includes the cranial and spinal cavities.

Fallopian tubes. Fertilization of an ovum usually takes place in the uterine tube, also known as the fallopian tube. This is the structure that transports the ovum from the ovary to the uterus.

Choice A is wrong because the cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It does not receive or transport the ovum.

Choice C is wrong because the ovaries are the organs that produce and release the ova. They do not host the fertilization process.

Choice D is wrong because the horn of the uterus is the point where the uterine tube joins the uterus. It is not the site of fertilization.

The normal range of temperature for human body is 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F).

Carotid artery.

The carotid artery is a major blood vessel that supplies blood to the head and neck. It can be felt as a pulse on either side of the neck, just below the jawline.

Choice A is wrong because the subclavian artery is located below the clavicle (collarbone) and cannot be felt as a pulse on the neck.

Choice C is wrong because the brachiocephalic artery is a large vessel that branches into the right subclavian and right carotid arteries. It is located deep in the chest and cannot be felt as a pulse on the neck.

Choice D is wrong because the basilar artery is a vessel that forms at the base of the brain from the union of the two vertebral arteries. It cannot be felt as a pulse on the neck.

The normal range for pulse rate in adults is 60 to 100 beats per minute.

The epiphyseal plate is the region of bone elongation that consists of hyaline cartilage and allows the bone to grow in length. If the fracture occurs in this area, it can damage the growth plate and affect the future growth of the bone.

Choice A) Diaphysis is wrong because it is the shaft of the bone that contains the medullary cavity and does not contribute to bone growth.

Choice B) Articular cartilage is wrong because it is the thin layer of cartilage that covers the ends of bones and reduces friction in joints.

It does not affect bone growth.

Choice D) Medullary cavity is wrong because it is the hollow space within the diaphysis that contains bone marrow.

It does not affect bone growth.

Normal ranges for bone growth vary depending on age, sex, and genetics. Generally, boys have a longer growth period than girls and reach their peak height around 18 years old, while girls reach their peak height around 16 years old. The average adult height for males is 69 inches and for females is 64 inches.
