    A flat tire (British English: flat tyre) is a deflated pneumatic tire, which can cause the rim of the wheel to ride on the tire tread or the ground potentially resulting in loss of control of the vehicle or irreparable damage to the tire. The most common cause of a flat tire is puncturing of the tire by a sharp object, such as a nail or pin, letting the air escape. Depending on the size of the puncture, the tire may deflate slowly or rapidly.

    The anterior facial vein, also known as the facial vein, is a major blood vessel located in the human facial structure. It drains blood from the facial region and transports it back to the heart. It originates at the angular vein located near the nose and travels downward through the face, ending at the internal jugular vein in the neck. This vein has no valves and communicates with the veins of the nasal, orbital and cranial cavities, making it clinically significant in the spreading of infections from the face to the cranial cavity.

    Photopic vision is the vision of the eye under well-lit conditions, which allows for color perception and sharp details. It primarily involves the retinas cone cells and is responsible for our daytime vision. Photopic vision operates at luminance levels where the cones become highly active and, in humans, it is generally considered to be active at luminance levels over about 3 candela per square meter.
