People are often able to live in a coma for several years because parts of the body that are not under conscious control continue to function. This situation best reflects the importance of the
A) central nervous system
B) autonomic nervous system
C) somatic nervous system
D) forebrain
Answer:
B) autonomic nervous system
Explanation:
The autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system. It comes under the motor division of the peripheral nervous system. The function of this division of the nervous system is to deliver the motor information from the central nervous system to the smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands. The responses produced by these muscles and glands are not controlled by the will or conscious of the individuals.
Due to the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, the person under the coma could perform the activities such as breathing, pumping of heart to deliver the oxygen to the body cells, etc. and stay live.
I believe that would be mostly oxygen

<h2>Vasa recta </h2>
Explanation:
The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the efferent arteriole; The blood flow in the vasa recta runs parallel, but in the opposite direction to the flow of tubular filtrate within the nephron loop
- The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle
- The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption
- Absorbed water is returned to the circulatory system via the vasa recta, which surrounds the tips of the loops of Henle
- Because the blood flow through these capillaries is very slow, any solutes that are reabsorbed into the bloodstream have time to diffuse back into the interstitial fluid, which maintains the solute concentration gradient in the medulla; this passive process is known as counter-current exchange
