Answer :

Surfactant deficiency due to undeveloped lungs (in premature infants)  suggest respiratory distress in an​ infant, but would be less likely to be observed in an​ adult beacuse in adults , lungs are fully developed and lack of surfactant is less.

Explanation:

Respiratory distress syndrome is a type of neonatal disease of respiration ,caused by deficiency of the surfactant produced by type II alveolar cells in the lungs most commonly in premature infants.

Normally , the lungs of the fetus start the formation of the surfactant during the third trimester (26 weeks through labor and delivery ) but in the premature infants , the lungs are not totally developed , hence lack of surfactant production results in the respiratory distress syndrome charactarized by inflammation of the airways due to the lack of the surface tension lowring effect of the surfactant.

Which of the following pairs is mismatched? Select one: a. endoderm - bone b. mesoderm - muscle c. ectoderm - skin d. neuroectod
HACTEHA [7]

Answer: a. endoderm-bone

Explanation: In the context of embryonic development, bone tissue may arise from several precursor cell populations, such as the neural crest (some facial bones), lateral mesoderm (bones of the limbs, among others), and paraxial mesoderm (vertebrae and part of the skull). There is no evidence to suggest that any of the bony structures is derived from the endoderm germ layer.
