Answer:

a)to move air toward the lungs while warming, moistening, and filtering it

Explanation:

The respiratory system consists of the upper and lower respiratory tract (airways). The upper respiratory tract consists of organs located outside the rib cage: external nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx and upper trachea. These organs are responsible for the entry of oxygen into the body, so we can say that the function of the upper respiratory system is to move the air in the environment towards the lungs while heating, moistening and filtering.

In which way can gender inequality power relations contribute to the spread of HIV infections
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Sexual equality is when both biological sexes, regardless of gender, are in egalitarian state in terms of all the benefits opportunities in the society. It is very important because discrimination between the sexes and the creation of introjected gender roles had sprouted to societal issues such as discrimination, sexism and even the spread of HIV where a person believes that his/her sex is dominant over the other.

When we're under stress, chemicals that increase memory retention flood our brains.
Troyanec [42]

Stress response and memory retention

Explanation:

During a stress response, many neurotransmitters or catecholamines like dopamine, adrenaline, noradrenaline, are released. The catecholamines are hormones which are released and acts as part of the body's fight-or-flight response.

Oversecretion of these catecholamines can hinder the long-term memory. However, these stress hormones do increase the short-term or the immediate recall memory. During an acute or an emotional stress response, the short-term, working, or the recognition memory becomes active.

The acute stress responses activates the sympathetic nervous system and areas of the brain like hippocampus and amygdala. These further improve the cognitive and sensory skills which improves the memory.

This also improves decision making skills to decide what is best during the fight-or-flight response.
