Answer:

Surfactant increases airflow. It has this effect on airflow because it reduces resistance to lung inflation. Airflow increased as predicted.

Explanation:

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins secreted by the Type II alveolar cells. The major component of surfactant, dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), is an amphiphatic phospholipid. The main function of the pulmonary surfactant is to reduce the surface tension at the air/liquid interface in the lungs by forming lining layer between the aqueous airway liquid and the inspired air. prevents alveolar and airway collapse at end-expiration and thus allows cyclic ventilation of the lungs. It decreases surface tension in the alveoli making it easier for the alveoli to increase surface area for gas exchange. By lowering alveolar surface tension, pulmonary surfactant provides two important benefits:

(1) it increases pulmonary compliance, reducing the work of inflating the lungs; and

(2) it reduces the lungs’ tendency to recoil, so they do not collapse as readily.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Cyclothymia

Explanation:

Cyclothy-mia is a mood disorder. It is related to a mild mood disorder. In this disorder, the mood swings between the short period's depression and hypo-mania. The major and the low mood does not meet the criteria of the major severe depression. Around 0.4% to 2% population get cyclothy-mia disorder.

Symptoms:

Mood fluctuates from low mood to high-level mood.
It can be sustained from one day to a week.
In ups and down there can be a normal mood of a person for months.

Lizzie experiences the ups and downs in her mood which reflects that she is diagnosed with Cyclothy-mia.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

stimulus generalization, classical

Explanation:

When a biologically potent stimulus is combined with a stimulus which was previously neutral it results in a learning process called classical conditioning. This affects in the person having the same reaction when experiencing something similar to the conditioned stimulus.

Here, Anna was attacked by a parakeet when she was three years old. So, now she fears everything that flies. Here the conditioned stimulus is anything that flies. This stimulus has been generalized in her mind. She now thinks that anything that flies will hurt her.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

No, number of broken items has nothing to do with distance travel.

Explanation:

The number of broken items has no relationship with the distance traveled.

Broken of items can happen or caused by many factors stated below:

1. Condition of the road or route in which the company's vehicle travel: If the road is bad, full of pot-holes this can cause some items to be broken.

2. Speed at which the vehicle travel.
