Inspiration: air cavities that increase in volume will decrease in air pressure (low pressure). likewise, air cavities that decr

ease in volume will increase in air pressure (high pressure). gases move or diffuse from regions of high pressure towards regions of low pressure. this movement is how air enters and exits the lungs. due to surface tension between the two layers of pleura, the volume inside the lungs increases when the size of the thoracic cavity increases. besides the diaphragm, what other muscles are involved in expanding the thoracic cavity? what happens to the air pressure inside the lungs when the size of the thoracic cavity increases? explain why outside air enters the lungs when the size of the thoracic cavity increases. what keeps the alveoli from sticking to each other? what is pneumothorax? how does pneumothorax cause atelectasis?

Answer:

The options are not given but they are gotten from another websites.

A. Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

B. Capillaries surrounding the brain have pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

C. Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are not surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

D. Capillaries surrounding the brain have pores and are not surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

The correct answer is option A.

Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

Explanation:

Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells because

Capillaries are tiny blood vessels in the circulatory system that connect aterioles to venules. They are the most abundant or they are much blood vessels. They can penetrate the tissues of the body which allow passage of food nutrients, oxygen in the body thereby allowing exchange of nutrients and oxygen between the body tissues and the blood.

Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells while capillaries in the periphery Capillaries surrounding the brain have pores and are not surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.
