Certain chest deformities prevent normal expansion of the chest. Explain why this makes ventilation difficult in terms of pressu

re and volume.
Biology

3 0
The lungs work by expanding and going back to their original size when you inhale and exhale. The rib cage also expands so the lungs can have more air inside and expand. Due to deformities, the rib cage might not expand and/or the diaphragm might not lower itself, which might lead to pressuring the lungs not to expand and having a lower volume of air inside. This leads to breathing difficulties.

Explain why crops in the arctic grow larger than normal during the summer months
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

More sunlight, more photosynthesis

Explanation:

This is because when the sunlight hits the leaves, it allows photosynthesis to occur. But when you have extended periods of sunlight, like summer, it causes photosynthesis to continue for a longer time, which causes rapid energy storage. This makes excess food for the plant which gives the plant more energy for growth and pollination.

Hope this clears it up for ya:)

Natalka [10]

Answer:

There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but treatment can ease symptoms and reduce complications.

Explanation:

1). For those with cystic fibrosis who have certain gene mutations, doctors may recommend a newer medication called ivacaftor. This medication may improve lung function and weight, increases the activity of Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)protein and reduce the amount of salt in sweat. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people with cystic fibrosis who are age 6 and older. The dose depends on your weight and age.

2). For people with a certain gene mutation who are age 12 and older, another drug is available that combines ivacaftor with a medication called lumacaftor. This drug is called orkambi.

The use of Orkambi may improve lung function and reduce the risk of exacerbations.

I hope you're clear on this Daxxy
