In which layer of the cutaneous membranes are nerve endings located?.

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.

Superficial wound healing.

Cellular contact inhibition is important in this process because it prevents cells from migrating and proliferating excessively when the wound is closed. Contact inhibition is a cell property that limits the migration and proliferation of cells in crowded environments.

Choice A is wrong because sweat production does not involve contact inhibition. Sweat glands secrete sweat through ducts that open onto the skin surface.

Choice C is wrong because scoliosis development does not involve contact inhibition. Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve sideways, and it can be caused by genetic, environmental, or unknown factors.

Choice D is wrong because tyrosinase production does not involve contact inhibition.

Tyrosinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the production of melanin, a pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes.

The tibialis anterior muscle is located in the lower leg, on the lateral side of the tibia.

It originates from the lateral condyle and surface of the tibia and the interosseous membrane, and inserts into the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones of the foot. It acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot.

Choice A is wrong because the upper arm does not contain the tibialis anterior muscle.

The upper arm contains muscles such as biceps brachii, triceps brachii, and brachialis.

Choice C is wrong because the thigh does not contain the tibialis anterior muscle.

The thigh contains muscles such as quadriceps femoris, hamstrings, and adductors.

Choice D is wrong because the abdomen does not contain the tibialis anterior muscle.

The abdomen contains muscles such as rectus abdominis, obliques, and transversus abdominis.

The malleus, incus, and stapes are the three tiny bones in the middle ear that transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window of the inner ear.

They are also called the auditory ossicles or ear bones.

Choice A is wrong because the nose does not contain any bones, only cartilage and soft tissue.

Choice B is wrong because the brain does not contain any bones, only neurons and glial cells.

Choice C is wrong because the throat does not contain any bones, only muscles and glands.

Choice D is right because the ear contains the malleus, incus, and stapes in its middle part. They are the smallest bones in the body and are named after their shape: malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup).
