Describe the flow of blood in the human body, including through each of the four chambers of the heart.

Well , the humans have a closed double circulatory system as the blood passes by the heart twice per one cycle and doesn't leave the blood vessels like in insects.
》Pulmonary circulation : Blood is circulated to the lungs where it is oxygenated.
》Systemic circulation : Blood is circulated through all the other parts of the body where it unloads oxygen.

Oxygenated blood coming from the lungs enters the heart through the pulmonary vein which takes blood to the first chamber it meets ; the Left atrium. Left atrium pumps blood to the second chamber , which is left ventricle and during this time , the semi lunar valves are closed to prevent back flow of blood and the bicuspid valve will be open . Now , the left ventricle is filled with oxygenated blood so it will pump this blood to the whole body via the largest artery which is Aorta.
Oxygenated blood will unload oxygen to cells in need of it and will return back now to the heart as deoxygenated . This deoxygenated blood will enter the heart through superior and inferior vena cava which will take the blood to the third chamber , right atrium . Right atrium will pump blood to right ventricle so the semi lunar valves will be closed during this time and the tricuspid will remain open. Now that the fourth chamber is filled with deoxygenated blood , it will pump this blood through pulmonary artery when the semi lunar valves opens , to the lungs again to be oxygenated once more.


Notice that you have to know exactly the position of the valves that I have mentioned in the heart so that you could understand the blood flow better. You can refer to any heart labelled diagrams in your textbook or the internet.

Which age group experiences the highest overall injury rate for any age group under the age of 15?
Ket [755]

1- to 4-year-old  age group experiences the highest overall injury rate for any age group under the age of 15.

More children die from unintentional accidents each year than from any other cause. The rates of unintentional injuries are generally higher among male teenagers aged 15 to 19 years, youngsters from low-income homes, and people of colour. In remote locations, some injuries also happen more frequently.

Although these demographic risk factors cannot be changed, environmental and behavioural dangers, such as dangerous driving, drinking while intoxicated, swimming pools that are not fenced in, and homes without smoke detectors, can be successfully changed with the right techniques.

The three most frequent unintentional accidents that resulted in fatalities among children aged 0 to 19 in 1996 were drowning, motor vehicle occupant, and pedestrian injuries. Although rates varied, these mechanisms together accounted for more than half of all unintentional injury deaths among children and teenagers.

Are the anomalies the same thickness along all ridge segments Why or why not?<br> plz help :D
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The equivalent magnetization (EM) and mantle Bouguer anomaly (MBA) were calculated along the ultraslow-spreading Mohns Ridge axis in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. The magnetic anomaly and the associated EM were compared with the bathymetry, MBA, seismically determined crustal structure and geochemical data at both the inter-segment scale (>60 km) and the intra-segment scale (20–60 km). At the inter-segment scale, the magnetic highs at the segment centers are independent of the MBA. Of the 13 segments, 9 with magnetic anomalies >700 nT coincide with axial volcanic ridges identified from multibeam bathymetry maps, which suggests that the magnetic highs at the segment centers may be more associated with the extrusive lavas rather than the amount of magma supply. With few exceptions, the magnetic anomaly lows associated with MBA highs at the segment ends increase from south to north. This trend might be explained by thickened extrusive basalts and/or more serpentinized peridotites at the segment ends in the north. At the intra-segment scale, the most prominent features are the decreases in the magnetic anomalies and associated EMs from the segment centers to the ends. The intra-segment magnetic anomalies have positive and negative correlations with the bathymetry and MBA, respectively. The magnetic signal modeled by the seismically determined layer 2A with an assumed constant magnetization is remarkably consistent with the observed magnetic anomaly, which strongly suggests that the thickness of the extrusive basalts dominates the magnetic structure in each segment along the Mohns Ridge. In general, the thickness of the extrusive basalts dominates the magnetic structure along the Mohns Ridge, whereas the contributions from serpentinized peridotites may be significant at the segment ends and may produce long-wavelength magnetic variations. The magnetic data can be used as an indicator of the thickness of the extrusive basalts within segments along the ultraslow-spreading Mohns Ridge.
