8 0

Answer:

56 ways

Explanation:

Combinations are indistinguishable, combinations can be represented by the formula:

C_{n,k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Where n represents the total number of items, and k represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

Therefore to choose 5 of the 8 volunteers for a committee, the number of 5 person committees that can be chosen =  C_{8,5}=\frac{8!}{5!(8-5)!}=56 ways

What takes place when you inhale and exhale
Hatshy [7]
Breathing In (Inhalation)

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

As your lungs expand, air is sucked in through your nose or mouth. The air travels down your windpipe and into your lungs. After passing through your bronchial tubes, the air finally reaches and enters the alveoli (air sacs).

Through the very thin walls of the alveoli, oxygen from the air passes to the surrounding capillaries (blood vessels). A red blood cell protein called hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin) helps move oxygen from the air sacs to the blood.

At the same time, carbon dioxide moves from the capillaries into the air sacs. The gas has traveled in the bloodstream from the right side of the heart through the pulmonary artery.

Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs is carried through a network of capillaries to the pulmonary vein. This vein delivers the oxygen-rich blood to the left side of the heart. The left side of the heart pumps the blood to the rest of the body. There, the oxygen in the blood moves from blood vessels into surrounding tissues.

(For more information on blood flow, go to the Health Topics How the Heart Works article.)

Breathing Out (Exhalation)

When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into the chest cavity. The intercostal muscles between the ribs also relax to reduce the space in the chest cavity.

As the space in the chest cavity gets smaller, air rich in carbon dioxide is forced out of your lungs and windpipe, and then out of your nose or mouth.

Breathing out requires no effort from your body unless you have a lung disease or are doing physical activity. When you're physically active, your abdominal muscles contract and push your diaphragm against your lungs even more than usual. This rapidly pushes air out of your lungs.

Which hygiene claim is supported by research?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which hygiene claim is supported by research? Would be: B: Brushing with a fluoride toothpaste helps prevent cavities.

Explanation:

We can first start this by saying, that right off the bat, we can totally rule out options C and D as a correct answer. Research, in fact, has shown, first that antibacterial soap does not have a higher impact on overall disease acquisition than regular soap, and rather, it does affect health because antibacterial soaps kill even normal bacterial groups on human skin that are necessary for skin balance. Also, handwashing was been shown to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of infection. On options A and B, although professional teeth cleaning does help in overall mouth welfare, it is not paramount, or vital, and therefore does not have to be regular if a person carries out his/her personal hygiene in the proper manner. However, what research HAS shown is that even if a person does a full care process of his/her teeth (brushing, flossing, etc,) if that person does not use fluoride in toothpaste, he/she will be prone to dental cavities as it has been shown that fluoride does impact the ability of bacteria to cause cavities. This is why the answer is B.
