Carbon is exchanged, or "cycled" among Earth's oceans, atmosphere, ecosystem, and geosphere. All living organisms are built of carbon compounds. It is the fundamental building block of life and animportant component of many chemical processes.

The way carbon moves through the environment is called carbon cycle. It is the most essential element of all life forms. Understanding about the carbon cycle will help us know about the factors that influence its formation and depletion.

Carbon dioxide is one of the important gas present in greenhouse gases which helps in temperature rising. It helps us to understand climate and predict global warming.
Carbon is the most important component of all living beings. There is almost 100 times more carbon present in living organisms as compared to that of earth. Burning the fossils will let us know the amount of carbon present in atmosphere and in earth.
Carbon is associated with the availability of other element like oxygen present in atmosphere. During photosynthesis the oxygen is taken up and the carbon dioxide is utilized by plants.

Vessels draining the myocardium of the heart, open primarily ,into which chamber?

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The vessels draining Myocardium of the heart join to form Coronary Sinus that ultimately opens into THE RIGHT ATRIUM.

Explanation:

CORONARY CIRCULATION:

The heart muscles are called as Myocardium. Circulation of myocardium is known as Coronary Circulation. The heart needs to work continuously and requires an uninterrupted supply of blood.

Coronary Arteries supply oxygen rich blood to the myocardium and Coronary Veins remove deoxygenated blood from heart muscles and join to form Coronary Sinus that ultimately drains into the Right Atrium of heart. Some veins from the myocardium also drains directly into the right atrium.

Deposition by the river replenishes soil in the wetlands with sediment and nutrients illustrates a positive effect that the Nueces River has on the wetlands.

Option: C

Explanation:

A river in its lower course leave the high elevated area and enters into the flat land. In the lower course of the river deposition is the prime work of a river. Estuary, delta are some of the landform that formed in the lower course of a river. Here, Nueces estuary is formed where Nueces river enters into the gulf.

In this gulf a wetland is formed which supports aquatic life and a dwelling place for them and land species also. Here, river deposits all its sediments and replenish the soil of wetland with new sediments and nutrients.

Sympathetic dominance---
Increase in muscle mass----- Raise

Decreased in insulin----- Lower the tmr
Decrease in TSH ---- Lower the tmr
Increase in adrenal cortex function ------raising the tmr
Increase in thyroxine ---- raising the tmr
Training for a marathon -----raising the tmr
Malabsorption of nutrients-------- Lower the tmr
Decrease in adrenal medulla function ------ Lower the tmr
Epinephrine secretion------- raising the tmr

The total metabolic rate is the total energy used by the body each day. Physical activity such as Training for a marathon require more energy and leads to increasing the tmr. Whereas, malabsorption of nutrients lowering the tmr because less food is being supplied, and therefore less energy production.
