To line the airways and make mucus, which lubricates and protects the lung

There are numerous different cell types in the lungs. Epithelial cells make up the majority of lung cells. Mucus is produced by epithelial cells that line the airways and coat and shield the lung. Additionally, the lung cells contain blood, nerve, hormone-producing, and structural or supporting cells.

Air enters your lungs when you inhale (breath), and the oxygen in that air travels to your blood. A waste gas called carbon dioxide travels from your blood to your lungs at the same time and is exhaled (breathed out). Gas exchange is a procedure that is vital to life.

the bronchiolar epithelial cells, also known as airway cells, which are bordered with smooth muscle, and the alveolar epithelial cells, which make up the tiny sacs where gas exchange occurs

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different

daser333 [38]

Answer:

Divergence

Explanation:

This happens because of the different genetic makeup or genotype of different individuals. The divergence mechanism occurs because of divergent evolution where in some cases random chances occurs and neurons became a source of stimulus for one but not other and vice versa.

How does the acidity of acid rain compare to the acidity of natural rainwater

jekas [21]

Answer:

The acidity level of water is measured by the pH scale. Pure water has a pH of 7, which is neutral. However, natural rainwater actually has a pH of 5.6 because it gets exposed to the gases in the atmosphere, making it a bit acidic. True acid rain will have a pH level measuring from 5.0-5.5.

Why are communities that are more diverse usually more stable?

serg [7]

<span>It is going to depend on what you consider stable. A diverse population would be more resistant to disease because of simple biology. The more sources for possible resistance the better the heterogeneous pool will be at resisting disease. You also have to take in to consideration things like the availability of modern medicine and the ability to be isolated during illness. </span><span> Personally I think it has to do with the fact that many of the worlds more diverse population centers are also many of the worlds largest population centers which make them less prone to invasion on that basis alone. </span>
