Answer:

COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) makes it hard to breathe due to obstructed airflow from the lungs. This OBSTRUCTION in turn causes respiratory acidosis.

Explanation:

RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS develops when air inhaled into and exhaled from the lungs does not get adequately exchanged between the carbon dioxide from the body for oxygen from the air.

Respiratory acidosis occurs when breathing out does not get rid of enough CO2. The increased CO2 that remains results in an acidic state. This can occur as a result of respiratory problems, such as COPD.

The increased CO2 level in the bloodstream occurring as a result of respiratory acidosis is known as hypercapnia.

In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through ?A) an effect
Tasya [4]

Answer:

C) an interneuron

Explanation:

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action. In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through an interneuron because an interneuron enables communications (i.e a pathway for information passage) between a sensory neuron and motor neuron. They play vital roles in reflex actions, neuronal oscillations, neurogenesis in an adult mammalian vertebrate brain.
