Why is a skull often compared to a helmet?
The cranium (the skull minus the lower jaw) covers and protects the brain much as a helmet does to protect the head.
How can a blow to the head cause a contusion on the side of the brain opposite the side struck by the blow?
Because your brain is smaller than your skull, it actually gets thrown to the other side of youe skull, (like a whiplash) , and the other side is what gets the bruise. your brain bounces around, this is also an injury common to Shaken Baby Syndrome, the brain is bounced around so much and so hard that it starts bleeding inside, sometimes to death.
How much Pressure can a Tsunami give?
A tsunami can exert pressure equivalent to the weight of several tons per square foot, depending on its size and force. This immense pressure can cause significant damage to coastal structures and infrastructure.
When water boils in a closed container how much pressure does it exert?
When water boils in a closed container, it exerts vapor pressure that is equivalent to the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the liquid. This pressure can vary depending on the altitude but typically is around 101.3 kPa at sea level.
Is it true in a plant cell water molecules exert rigor pressure on the call membrane?
Yes, in a plant cell, water molecules exert turgor pressure on the cell membrane. This pressure is created as water enters the cell through osmosis, causing the central vacuole to swell and push against the cell wall. This turgor pressure is essential for maintaining the cell's structure and rigidity, allowing plants to stand upright. If the plant loses too much water, turgor pressure decreases, leading to wilting.
Why brain located in the skull?
The skull is very hard and therefore protects the brain from being knocked around too much.
Describe some personal tests that are not safe for you?
The first unsafe personal test that comes to mind is the skull pressure test. For this test you measure the pressure your skull can take before crushing. In this test you would lay the back of your head on a hard bench, and put weight on the front of your head. Then slowly increase the weight until your skull crushes. This will tell you how much pressure your skull may take. This test may be dangerous as often your brain is inside your skull. At times a skull crushed by severe weights also crushes your brain, and thus kills you. However on the basis of your question you may not find this test dangerous as it appears you have no brain at all.
Why is the brain enclosed in a hard bony skull?
Because you live much longer when the brain is shielded from damage.
How much pressure will ice exert at 32 degrees?
Around 12,000 pounds
How much pressure can an arbor press exert?
An arbor press can typically exert pressure ranging from 1 to 5 tons, depending on the size and design of the press. However, larger and more heavy-duty arbor presses can exert even higher pressure, up to 20 tons or more.
How much pressure did the Saturn V rocket exert?
5 Million Newtons was the pressure exerted by Saturn v rocket
Why is a skull often compared to a helmet?
The cranium (the skull minus the lower jaw) covers and protects the brain much as a helmet does to protect the head.
How does you skull protect your brain when hit in the head?
The cranium forms a shell-like shape around your brain to protect it from falls and summer-saults. The cranium makes a shield to your brain by stopping falls and hits to your head. This shell like shape is very hard and is very hard to break or crack, that is why it protects your brain.
How much pressure can a 140 pound human exert with its teeth?
780 psi per square cm
What percentage of space in the skull does the human brain take up?
pretty much 100 percent-
How much psi can a wolf jaw exert?
The wolf jaw can produce 3,200 psi pressure which inables it to crush bones and such.
How much pressure does the average man's jaw have in lbs?
The average man's jaw can exert around 160-170 pounds of pressure when biting down.
