Answer:

(B) the internal pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.

Explanation:

The process of respiration is divided into two distinct phases, inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation). During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and pulls downward while the muscles between the ribs contract and pull upward. This increases the size of the thoracic cavity and decreases the pressure inside. As a result, air rushes in and fills the lungs.

Hence, as the thoracic cavity increases in volume the lungs are pulled from all sides to expand, causing a drop in the pressure (a partial vacuum) within the lung itself.  As such the internal pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.

During expiration, diaphragm contracts inferiorly and thoracic muscles pull the chest wall outwardly (the diaphragm relaxes, and the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases, while the pressure within it increases). As a result, the lungs contract and air is forced out.

Hair cell divide how many times in a year
Finger [1]

Answer:

Hair cells are present inside the inner ear that acts as a receptor of sound. Researchers affirmed that once there is a damage to the hair cell, it can regenerate in birds.

Damage hair cell can lead to loud noise which in turn affect the ear. The supporting cells are present along with the hair cells. When the hair cells get damaged, the supporting hair cell gets the signal to start the process of regeneration.

What is the difference between plankton, nekton and benthos?
Archy [21]
<span>The common difference between the three organisms is the area in which they specifically live or stay in the ocean. Planktons can’t be seen by the naked eye and they require microscopes to be detected. Planktons usually float in the water and they cannot move on their own that’s why they are dependent in the movement of the water.

Nektons are organisms that swim through the water and they live in different depths in the ocean ecosystem. Nektons are composed of fish and other mammals that propel themselves through the water.

Benthos are organisms that live in the ocean floor and many of these organisms stay in one place by attaching themselves to rocks. This adaptation protects them from crashing waves and drastic water movements. Other benthos are known to burrow in the ocean floor either for food or protection.</span>

What are the different types of leaves that plants have?
dusya [7]

Answer:

There are two different types of leaves – simples leaves and compound leaves. The other types of leaves include acicular, linear, lanceolate, orbicular, elliptical, oblique, centric cordate, etc. They perform the function of photosynthesis and help in the removal of excess water from the aerial parts of the plant. The most obvious aspect to examine is the shape of the leaf. If it is an uninterrupted shape, it is simple. If the shape divides into smaller leaf sets the leaf is compound. Identifying plant leaves that are compound divides them into subsets.
