The "bridge" is a crucial part of the eyeglasses´ frame as it determines how well the glasses fit the face. It connects the two lenses and supports most of the frame's weight. The bridge bump and aperture are fundamental to the comfort of the glasses wearer.
2. Lenses
Answer: parts of eyeglasses
The "lenses" are the most crucial part of the glasses. The lenses are mounted in frames sitting mostly on the ears and nose, so they are positioned in front of the eyes. They are transparent optical devices, which the person looks through, and are used to correct the vision or protect the eyes. The best lenses depend on a doctor's prescription or the intended use of the glasses.
3. Temples
Answer: parts of eyeglasses
Temples, arms, or legs are the two long, skinny parts of the glasses located on the sides of the head, sitting on the ears. They are connected to the frame by the hinges. Their main function is to keep the glasses secure. For this reason, they must have the correct length.
4. Frame Front
Answer: parts of eyeglasses
"Frame Front" is one of the main parts of glasses. It's the part that secures the lenses in place. It can be made from various types of materials and has different shapes, sizes, and colors. The frame front largely defines the style and aesthetics of the glasses.
5. Nose Pad
Answer: parts of eyeglasses
"Nose pads" are small oval pads that rest on the nose for a perfect fit and to prevent the glasses from slipping down. The nose pads can be sculpted as part of the frame front or be a separate piece attached to it.
6. Patella
Answer: human skeleton bones
The "patella" (pl: patellae or patellas), also known as kneecap is a flat, triangular sesamoid bone, located at the end of the femur. The patella protects the front of the knee joint. It is embedded in the quadriceps tendon and helps the quadriceps muscle move the leg.
In addition to protecting the knee joint, it helps support lots of important muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The patella protects the bones and tissues under it.
7. Ulna
Answer: human skeleton bones
The ulna (pl: ulnae or ulnas) is the long bone found in the forearm that stretches from the elbow to the wrist. The ulna is longer and thinner than the radius, which runs parallel. The ulna forms part of the wrist and elbow joints and is present in all land vertebrates.
8. Tibia
Answer: human skeleton bones
In the lower leg there are two bones: the tibia and the fibula. The tibia, also known as the shin bone, is a long bone that contains mainly yellow marrow. The tibia is the weight-bearing bone and supports the weight of the body as the person moves or stands. The tibia is also a point of attachment for muscles, tendons, and ligaments that help with knee and ankle movements.
9. Incus
Answer: human skeleton bones
The "incus" (pl: incudes) also known as the anvil is a bone in the middle ear. Vibrations are received in the middle ear by the tympanic membrane. The malleus, resting on the tympanic membrane, transmits the vibrations to the incus which retransmits them to the stapes. The incus has this name because of its resemblance to an anvil (Latin: Incus).
10. Hyoid
Answer: human skeleton bones
The "hyoid" is a small, U-shaped bone located in the front of the neck. It sits between the jaw quadriceps bone and the thyroid cartilage. Several muscles that control the movements of the larynx are attached to the hyoid bone. It plays a fundamental role in swallowing, jaw movements, and breathing.
The hyoid is the only bone that does not form a joint with another bone - it is a floating bone.
11. Root
Answer: parts of a tree
The "root" is normally the underground part of a tree. The root has the function of providing adequate anchorage of the tree to the soil, absorbing water and nutrients, and helping in storing food in some plants. The network formed by the roots binds soil together, preventing erosion.
In aquatic plants, the roots are not very developed because water availability is not a problem and many plants are free-floating.
12. Leaves
Answer: parts of a tree
"Leaves" are the green component of the plant that stays connected to the crown. The most important function of leaves is to undertake the process of photosynthesis. Furthermore, the leaves provide shade, keep the air cool, and form a barrier to heavy rain, reducing its impact on the soil.
13. Branch
Answer: parts of a tree
"Branch", sometimes called ramus, is a woody structural element that grows directly from the trunk and has the function of transporting water and nutrients to the leaves. They also serve as support structures for leaves, flowers, and fruit.
14. Trunk
Answer: parts of a tree
The "trunk" or bole, which is typically brownish, is the vertical part of the tree that connects the tree's roots to the crown. The size and shape of the tree are directly linked to the size of the trunk. The first function of the trunk is to provide structural support to the crown.
The trunk contains what can be called the plumbing system in the plant, a network of small tubes that run between the roots and leaves. Throughout this system water and nutrients are transported from the roots to the components of the crown.
This same function is performed in reverse when the sugar moves down from the leaves, stems, and branches to the roots.
15. Crown
Answer: parts of a tree
The "crown" is the topmost portion of a tree, which varies depending on its size and shape. The crown is made up of the following parts: leaves, branches, flowers, and fruits.
