Answer:

The correct answer is: lets the air get inside the lungs.

Explanation:

The process of ventilation, or breathing, consists of two parts: <u>inhaling and exhaling.</u>

Inhaling is the name of the process that is responsible for the air entering the body by the respiratory tract. Exhaling is the opposite, it lets the air out. Both are equally important since they allow the gas exchange necessary for the oxygenation of the blood.

When inhaling, the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles contract. This pulls the ribcage upwards and outwards, which increases lung volume while decreasing the air pressure inside.

Answer:

These are the mechanism of inspiration which increases the capacity  of the thoracic cavity, for maximum volume of air to be inhaled during inspiration.

The contraction makes the diaphragm to move towards the abdominal cavity inferiorily  creating the space for the distention of lungs during filling with air. When the external inter coastal muscles contracts, the rib cage is pushed upwards and outwards with the sternum remain fixed. This causes expansion of the rib-cage, with further widening of the  thoracic cavity for maximum lung capacity.

The sense of smell is different from the other senses in that its sensory pathways are ____________________________.
9966 [12]
The olfactory system is involved in the sense of smell. The receptors of smell are not routed through the thalamus. The signals id directly routed from the olfactory bulb to the olfactory cortex and thalamus is not contacted in between. This is the difference between the taste and smell receptors, although both of their receptors are stimulated from mucus/saliva in the mouth.

PLS HELP!!!!
zzz [600]

Explanation:

Frog undergoes a complete metamorphosis. It includes the egg, tadpole, froglet and then adult frog stages. In complete metamorphosis the hatchling does not resemble the parent and changes as it grows to be an adult.

During metamorphosis the tadpole will develop back legs first, then front legs.  Around 6 weeks of life the mouth starts to widen.  Sometime around 10 weeks the froglet’s, as it is now called, eyes start to bulge out and the tail begins to shrink and eventually disappear.  When the lungs finish developing the froglet makes it’s way onto the land and, Ta-da! It’s a frog!

Hope this helps!
