The chief difference between arteries<span> and </span>veins<span> is the job that they do. </span>Arteries<span> carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and </span>veins<span> carry oxygen-poor blood back from the body to the heart. 

Another difference would be v</span><span>eins have valves and arteries do not. In arteries, blood flows in the right direction because of the heart pumping it forwards at high pressures. The lower blood pressure in veins means that valves are needed to stop blood flowing backwards (for example, in veins in the legs, blood needs to flow upwards against the pull of gravity).</span>

The symptoms of a lung-expansion injury tend to appear _____ while the symptoms of decompression sickness tend to appear ______.
Margarita [4]

The symptoms of a lung-expansion injury tend to appear immediately after the dive while the symptoms of decompression sickness tend to appear usually slower after the dive.

Why does oxygen treat scuba-related illnesses?

Decompression sickness (DCS) patients address the disease process by dissolving air bubbles in the blood and tissues and diffusing excess nitrogen to oxygenate ischemic regions.

Needs to be recompressed Recompression was traditionally carried out with the assistance of a personal doctor or technician and a customized chamber that allowed for a controlled rise in atmospheric pressure. DCS divers have to travel further to decompression rooms since the number of rooms accessible for 24-hour emergency care countrywide is decreasing at an alarming rate.

6) How does an offspring of a mushroom or mold (asexual reproduction) compare to its parent?
Verizon [17]

A mushroom or a mold commonly reproduces asexually by the formation of spores. Spores are produced in the sporangium through mitosis involving only one parent. They are released from the parent and germinate into new a mushroom or a mold. The offspring are genetically identical to that parent because their formation do not involve meiosis and fertilization. Spores allow fungi to expand their distribution and colonize new environments.
