Describe the process of breathing

1 answer:

Breathing begins with inhalation when the contraction of the diaphragm flattens on contraction, pulling the lungs down. The contraction of these muscles increases the volume of the lungs. This reduces the air pressure in the lung to below that of the external air. This pressure difference forces air to move into the lungs where gas exchange occurs. The relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostals reduces the volume of the lungs, which then increases the air pressure inside the lung to that above the external air. This forces air out of the lungs. The cycle goes on and on. Hope this helped!

Serjik [45]

Answer:

(D) increasing economic specialization.

Explanation:

On a cultivation continuum we can appreciate the many ways in which people can conduct agriculture and horticulture. On one end of the spectrum, we find the most primitive ways of conducting such practices. These are usually small-scale gardens with a variety of crops that are mostly used for subsistence. However, as we move towards the other end of the spectrum, we see large-scale farming. Large farms and plantations appear, as well as cash crops (crops grown in order to be sold, not consumed by the farmers). Moreover, we start seeing increased economic specialization. Farmers begin to focus on a single crop, or even a single variety of crop. Trade also becomes more complex.
