Alja [10]2 years ago

The main difference between aorta and vena cava is that aorta carries oxygenated blood whereas vena cava carries deoxygenated blood. Aorta is the main artery that leaves the heart through the left ventricle. It supplies oxygenated blood throughout the body.

Answer:

The placenta is a unique vascular organ that receives blood supplies from both the maternal and the fetal systems and thus has two separate circulatory systems for blood: (1) the maternal-placental (uteroplacental) blood circulation, and (2) the fetal-placental (fetoplacental) blood circulation. The uteroplacental circulation starts with the maternal blood flow into the intervillous space through decidual spiral arteries. Exchange of oxygen and nutrients take place as the maternal blood flows around terminal villi in the intervillous space. The in-flowing maternal arterial blood pushes deoxygenated blood into the endometrial and then uterine veins back to the maternal circulation. The fetal-placental circulation allows the umbilical arteries

Which of these scientists is best known for his idea that characteristics an individual gains in its lifetime could be passed on
Anna [14]
This was Lamarck's idea. Here's an example: Suppose giraffes originally had short necks that they stretched to reach high-up leaves in the trees. This continuous stretching of the neck was passed onto offspring, who as a result had slightly longer necks. This continued for multiple generations until we get today's long-necked giraffe. Lamarck was on to something (that something being evolution by natural selection, which Darwin discovered), but his theory wasn't completely correct since organisms can only pass on genes (segments of DNA that code for a characteristic or function) to their offspring. Since "stretching" would not code into DNA, it wouldn't be passed onto offspring, proving Lamarck's theory incorrect.

he x-ray film shows a fracture where one side of the cortex is intact and flexed and the other side has signs of interruption (f
KatRina [158]

Answer:

This is refers to as Greenstick fracture.

Explanation:

This is the type of fracture common in children less than 10 years, in which there is incomplete fracture of the bone,with ,but  the cortex  remain flexed.It is called green stick because it is analogous to the act of breaking  a branch of a tree, which is not completely broken, from the main branch.

It is usually to due to falls,and common in kids because of their soft bones which is not completely formed and therefore will not break off completely like that of adults when fractured, but only from one side only.

Compare and contrast the modes of action of lipid-soluble and water-soluble hormones.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Lipid soluble hormones:

Lipid soluble hormones are hydrophobic in nature and contains hydrophobic signals. Their receptors are present inside the nucleus and some are limited to cytosol as well. The binding of the receptor to its ligand stimulates the synthesis of new protein. The binding of hormone response element binds to the enhancer  region of DNA. Example: steroid hormones and thyroid hormones.

Water soluble hormones:

Water soluble hormones are hydrophilic in nature and contains hydrophilic signals. Their receptors are present on the cell membrane . The binding of the receptor to its ligand stimulates the signaling cascades mechanism. The binding of hormone to its receptor results in the activation of protein kinase and secondary messenger.
