Short answer: Bones structures in the head and chest help to protect vital organs, while bones in the limbs are mainly for movement.

Explanation:

Bones are hard structures that serve different purposes depending on their shape and structure. In the case of bones found in the head or the chest including the occipital bone, the ethmoid bone, among others in the head, and the ribs, sternum, etc. in the chest these are flat bones that together form cavities to protect vital organs such as the brain in the head and the heart and lungs in the chest.

On the other hand, bones in the limbs such as the humerus, the tibia, the radius, etc. are considered as long bones. Moreover, this structure supports their function of providing movement to the body rather than protecting organs as it occurs with flat bones.

Analyze the vintage cigarette advertisement. How is the tobacco company reaching potential customers? Check all that apply.
Fittoniya [83]

Vintage cigarette advertising companies used to reach customers by- b. affecting people emotionally through holiday connections and e. making tobacco seem wholesome and good.

The 20th century vintage cigarette advertisements presented the injurious act of cigarette smoking very glamorous and sometimes they insisted on using them for healthy habits. It was ridiculous for them to promote the then cigarette brands by manipulating their potential customers, mainly the women.

Brands like- “Lucky- strike” and “Craven ‘A’” targeted their customers by affecting them emotionally by establishing holiday connections to tobacco smoking; they described their potential women customers as “charming”. They also claimed that it actually reliefs a sore throat.  

They made their ads more appealing until American President Richard Nixon banned the broadcasting of cigarette ads by signing the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act on 1970, 1st April.
