No Clean Water: We may live on a water planet, but 97.5% of that water is ocean and other undrinkable salt-filled sources. Only 2.5% of the water on this planet is fresh, and of that, 1% is either too polluted to be consumed or entirely unreachable. Much of it remains frozen in the form of polar ice caps. All told, less than 1% of the planet’s freshwater resources are available for consumption.

Lower Life Expectancy: Thanks to medical intervention, human beings can live to be up to 100 years old — as long as they live in developed countries where they have access to that medical care. One study, done by researchers at Harvard, found that the majority of population increases over the next 40 years or so will be in less developed countries.

Climate Change: We’ve been seeing the results of climate change firsthand in the dramatic weather patterns of 2017 — multiple category five hurricanes, dramatic wildfires and floods, and other atypical weather patterns that are threatening both lives and property.

As the exercise progresses, muscular activity __________ venous return. this increases the _________ on the right ventricle.
uysha [10]
As the exercise progresses, muscular activity increases venous return. This increases the pre-load on the right ventricle. During venous exercise, the rhythmic pump of the muscles facilitates venous return by forcing the blood through one way valves that lead to the heart. Additionally, increased lung activity which creates a change in thoracic pressure that draws blood towards the heart. Regular exercises improves the venous return by increasing total blood volume, increasing end diastolic volume and increasing the size and contractile strength of the heart muscle.
