Biology
1 answer:
uysha [10]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Fiber helps to prevent <em>constipation </em>in the human digestive system.

Explanation:

According to nutritionists fiber is very important in digestion as it increases the amount of stool , hence prompting for deification which generally reduces the amount of time waste stays in the small intestines .

Another reason is that it gets in touch with the schist that has been rejected or is of no value to the system and binds it to make it compact waste hence it is easier to move along the small intestine and the colon .

Finally it facilitates movement and exercise of the bowel , by prompting regular movement .

Where should the origin of the swim bladder be placed on the phylogenetic tree?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

At the base of Actinopterygii

*This is a unique characteristic of this group.

Explanation:

A peculiar characteristic organ observed in ray-finned fish (as well as in Sarcopterygii, or lobe-finned fish) but not in cartilaginous fish like shark is the swim bladder.

This organ is often described to be a sac containing gas. It helps these set of fish adjust its buoyancy and its position in the water by regulating the concentration of gas present in it.

The swim bladder is formed as a pouch coming off the embryonic digestive tract, and in chondrosteans and holosteans, with a set of teleosts e.g. the eels, it maintains an open pathway to the esophagus. In majority of the bony fish, the swim bladder is totally sealed off, as gas levels in their swim bladder are regulated by producing gas into the bladder via a network of capillaries, the rete mirabile (Latin word for "marvelous net").

The swim bladder is homologous to the lungs of tetrapods. Since they are formed in the same vein. Few fishes that have an open swim bladder employs it as a breathing organ.

When measuring a patient's tympanic temperature, the nurse would angle the thermometer probe in what direction?
never [62]
In practice it is enough to simply angle the thermometer towards the direction of the ear canal. More specifically you are trying to target the direction of the tympanic membrane located in the middle ear (one of the parts of the ear; the other parts being outer and inner)

Some maneuvers, although not completely necessary, may include pulling the ear lobe upwards and outwards for babies. This is to straighten the ear canal and is more often done when using otoscopes. For adults, we pull the ear downward and outward.
