I'm not going to fully write out <span>3-4 paragraphs but I will give you some information to start out with :) I greatly enjoy doing research and writing about the things I have learned. 

Arteries:
Arteries are </span>any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body. <span> Each artery is a muscular tube lined by smooth tissue and has three layers. These are the three layers and their purpose. 
*The i</span>ntima-T<span>he inner layer lined by a smooth tissue called endothelium
</span>*The media- A<span> layer of muscle that lets arteries handle the high pressures from the heart
*</span>The adventitia-Connective tissue anchoring arteries to nearby tissues


Veins<span> are </span>blood vessels<span> that carry </span>blood<span> toward the </span>heart<span>. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the </span>pulmonary<span> and </span>umbilical veins<span>, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast to veins, </span>arteries<span> carry blood away from the heart.
</span>Veins are classified in a number of ways, including superficial vs. deep, pulmonary vs. systemic, and large vs. small.
<span>
*Superficial veins are those closer to the surface of the body, and have no corresponding arteries.
</span><span>*Deep veins are deeper in the body and have corresponding arteries.
</span><span>*Perforator veins drain from the superficial to the deep veins. These are usually referred to in the lower limbs and feet.
</span><span>*Communicating veins are veins that directly connect superficial veins to deep veins.
*P</span>ulmonary veins<span> are a set of veins that deliver oxygenated blood from the </span>lungs<span> to the heart.
*</span><span>Systemic veins drain the tissues of the body and deliver deoxygenated blood to the heart.

I hoped this helped and gave you some useful information. Good luck, I hope you do well on your assignment :) ~Sadie

Answer:

Cry but remanence

Explanation:

It's okay to cry, especially in these situations. Cry as much as you need and if you ever feel suicidal or just need someone to talk to then find a hotline. There are many communities/platforms that contain people that have been through the same situation.

Remanence, remember all the good things/times you had! Know that as soon as they are out then you'll get to make more memories and have more fun times. You can listen to their favorite song, make up a welcome back song, look at pictures, visit places you went, ETC.

Why is physicsl activity not recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Exercises that are at risk of falling or colliding should be avoided during pregnancy, such as horse riding, skiing and judo. Diving may also not be a good thing, as the baby still has no protection against pressure change.  But exercises like yoga, is recommended to anytime of pregnancy.

Explanation:

   During pregnancy, there are women who dont do physical activity for fear of causing an abortion or harming the baby. However, physical exercises for pregnant women help strengthen muscles and promote numerous physical and psychological benefits.  Despite the good points, pregnancy is not a time for overeating - especially for women who were sedentary before getting pregnant. For each quarter, there are recommended activities that vary in frequency, duration, and intensity.

  In the third trimester, as the prospective mother will be bigger and heavier, she could feel more tired while exercising. Difficulty breathing and more go to bathroom are expected. Also, as the baby grows, the pressure against the stomach increases, which can cause heart burning.
