What can result from weakening of digestive smooth muscle with age?

Biology
1 answer:
Alex17521 [72]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Weakening of digestive smooth muscle with age can cause constipation.

Explanation:

Smooth muscles in the digestive system have the role to move food down the tract via radially symmetrical contractions (peristalsis). With age, the function of smooth muscles reduces, causing the food to move more slowly through the alimentary canal (digestive tract). As a consequence, water gets absorbed from food waste, which can cause constipation.

The respiratory system allows for gas exchange to happen in the lungs. How does the respiratory system affect the cardiovascular
Charra [1.4K]
The answer is <span>The respiratory system supplies the oxygen that the cardiovascular system transports to the different cells for the production of energy. 

When air enters the lungs (part of the respiratory system), it passes all way to the alveoli, the smallest functional units of the lung. There, oxygen from the air enters the capillaries, the smallest blood vessels, next to the alveoli. Once in the blood stream, the cardiovascular system transports oxygen to different cells where it is used for the energy production.</span>

Consider this situation: you want to reabsorb sodium ions but you do not want to increase the volume of the blood by reabsorbing
choli [55]

Answer:

Increase aldosterone and decrease ADH

Explanation:

Aldosterone causes reabsorption of sodium ions while Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes reabsorption of water. Aldosterone also causes water reabsorption due to increased osmotic pressure by reabsorbing sodium ions. But for water reabsorption, Aldosterone has to work along with ADH to increase permeability for water. If we increase Aldosterone and decrease ADH, the sodium ions will be reabsorbed while water cannot be reabsorbed due to decreased permeability of DCT and collecting tubules for water.

Why Do More Species Live Near the Equator? 5 reason why
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:Species Dynamics. This theory is quite straightforward: species that can colonize new areas faster and reproduce in greater number than they become extinct have the greatest chances to thrive. The tropics offer favorable conditions for these conditions to be met.    

There Is More Diversity Near the Equator. ... Another argues that more solar energy is received around the equator, allowing for greater species richness. A third points out that equatorial tropics are the largest biome, so it makes sense that there would be more species.
