What way is the knee joint poorly protected and thus especially vulnerable to injuries?
The knee is made up of connective tissues and the end of long bones. The ligaments and tendons that connect to the knee are not protected by any muscles. Simply twisting the knee in an unusual direction can cause any of those tendons and ligaments to tear. Too much of one activity may also cause injury to the knee. In addition to unusual movements, the knee can be injured by a direct blow. The is common in contact sports such as football. If a player is tackled from the outside, the inside ligament can easily be torn because it is not protected.

What makes a country vulnerable to earthquakes?
Countries are vulnerable to earthquakes based on their location along tectonic plate boundaries, historic seismic activity, and building construction standards. Areas near subduction zones, fault lines, or rift zones are more susceptible to earthquakes. Poorly constructed buildings and infrastructure can increase the impact of seismic events on a country's population and economy.
What makes a place more vulnerable to earthquakes?
Previous earthquake occurrences, nearness to active volcanoes, and location in the area where crustal [or lithospheric or tectonic] plates meet make a place more vulnerable to earthquakes.
Who was the only survivor of the Mount Pelee eruption?
The only survivor of the Mount Pelee eruption in 1902 was a prisoner named Ludger Sylbaris. He was in a poorly ventilated and windowless cell at the time of the eruption, which protected him from the deadly pyroclastic flow.
What types of people are more vulnerable to earthquakes?
People living in areas prone to earthquakes, those living in poorly constructed buildings, elderly individuals, children, and individuals with disabilities are more vulnerable to earthquakes. Additionally, those who do not have access to emergency resources or who lack awareness of earthquake safety measures may also be more vulnerable.
How do tornadoes affect structures?
Tornadoes can cause severe damage to structures by generating strong winds that can tear off roofs, collapse walls, and uproot trees. The intense pressure changes created by a tornado can also lead to structural failure, especially in poorly constructed buildings. Additionally, flying debris carried by tornado winds can further contribute to structural damage.
Compared to the shoulder and hip joints in what way is the knee joint poorly protected and thus especially vulnerable to injuries?
Compare to the shoulder and hip joints, in what way is the knee joint poorly protected and thus, especiall vulnerable to injuries?
Why is the patella poorly protected?
The patella protects the knee joint from damage.
What is unwanted pregnancy?
It is an accidental pregnancy that results from poorly protected or not protected sex.
How bad is a 5.1-magnitude earthquake?
A 5.1-magnitude earthquake is considered moderate. It can cause damage to buildings and infrastructure, especially in poorly constructed areas, and may be felt by people several miles away from the epicenter. Casualties and injuries are possible in densely populated areas.
How predation plays a beneficial role in natural selection?
Poorly adapted organisms are more vulnerable to predation. This is one of the means by which they fail to survive as well as better adapted organisms.
Can you buy earthquake in emerald?
You cannot buy earthquakes...especially not in emerald. This answer is either fake or very poorly worded.
How were Kurdish people generally treated during the twentieth century?
Governments treated them poorly, especially in Iraq and Turkey
Is there any hacks for the iPad?
There are many. The iPad must be 'jailbroken'. Jailbroken iPads are vulnerable to exploits, viruses and poorly written apps that can affect the iPad's stability or performance. Doing this may also affect your Apple warranty.

What factors slowed industrialization in Germany?
industrial management___Lack of political unity.Illiberal governments.Internal customs barriers.Poor infrastructre, especially very poor roads, narrow, often shallow canals and poorly regulated rivers.Much of Germany was far from the sea.
Explain why sprains and injuries to joint cartilages are particularly troublesome?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
