The mangroves trees help in holding the soil in place, they help in absorbing the energy of waves, and they help in filtering water and better the quality of it.

Mangroves are a kind of estuarine or coastal wetland, featured by the existence of salt amended shrubs and trees, which develops beside the coast in subtropical or tropical latitudes all around the world. Several of the mangroves forests can be determined by their dense tangle of prop roots, which make the trees seem to be standing on stilts above the water.

The mangroves safeguard the shorelines from destructing hurricane, storms, winds, and floods. They help in inhibiting erosion by stabilizing the sediments with their tangled root infrastructure. They sustain the clarity and quality of water, trapping the sediments and filtering pollutants arising from land.

Explain the pathway of air from outside the body to the bloodstream in the fetal pig

noname [10]

From mouth/nose, the air passes to the trachea (the wind pipe), there it enters (sequentially) the bronchi, bronchioles (small pipe-like structures), alveoli (widened empty sacs), the walls of which are in close contact with the blood vessels which contain the RBCs, which in turn contain the protein--hemoglobin, which binds to the oxygen present in the freshly inhaled air, and loses the carbondioide present DISSOLVED in the blood. This bound oxygen goes to the heart (of course along with the RBCs in the blood), from there to the smaller and smaller arteries, then to the capillaries, where again oxygen is lost to the surrounding tissue fluid, from where the cells collect oxygen by simple diffusion, and lose carbon dioxide, which gets dissolved in the water present in the blood.

From here the blood, with hemoglobin poorer in oxygen, and richer again in carbondioxide goes to the venules, and veins (capillaries continue as venules), which become successively larger to become superior and inferior vena cava and enter the right atrium, and then from there the blood again goes to the lungs and comes in contact with fresh air in the alveoli.
