Is the axial skeleton composed of bones that run through the axis of the body?

The axial skeleton is composed of bones that provide support and protect the organs in the central axis of the body, including the skull, spine, and ribcage. It does not consist of bones that run through the literal center of the body, but rather those that form the central structure and framework.


What shape is the planet Venus and does it have an axis?

Venus is nearly a perfect sphere. It rotates very slowly, but it does rotate. That means it does have an axis of rotation.


WHY DOES CLIMATE DIFFER FROM PLACE TO PLACE BECAUSE OF EARTHS SHAPE?

Because of Earth's shape and the fact that it spins with a tilted axis as it orbits the Sun.


What two measurable properties directly tell us the size and shape of a planet's orbit?

The semi-major axis (size) and the eccentricity (shape).


Shape of the orbit that planet travels?

The shape of orbits planets travel is usually considered to be elliptical, with the shared center of mass (near the Sun) being one of the foci. Potentially, an orbit could be circular but there is always at least a slight imperfection which elongates the orbit on one axis into an elliptical shape. Examined in even greater detail, the long axis of the ellipse itself also rotates somewhat over long periods of time, an effect partially attributed to effects predicted by General Relativity, and is called apsidal precession; as such the shape of the orbit might be considered to be a complex curve somewhat like a spiral shape. If you were to trace the path as seen from above, over very long periods of time, it might seem somewhat like the outline of petals on a dense flower - with irregularities, bumps and dents caused by transient gravitational interactions with other planets at their closest approach.

Is an octagon regular or an irregular shape?

The Octagon is a regular shape if all the sides and all of the interior angle s are equal. If the sides and or angles are different the shape is irregular. However, even irregular octagons can have an axis of symmetry.


What is the two groups divided into bones?

The two main groups of bones are axial bones (such as the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage) which form the body's central axis, and appendicular bones (such as the limbs and the shoulder and pelvic girdles) which attach to the axial skeleton and allow for movement.


What type of bone is the axis?

irregular bone


How many axis of symmetry a pentagon has?

A regular pentagon has five axes of symmetry. Each axis passes through one vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. In contrast, an irregular pentagon may have fewer axes of symmetry, depending on its specific shape.
