Answer:

a. Decrease water reabsorption : decrease blood pressure.

b. Decrease peripheral resistance : decrease blood pressure

c. Vasodilation : decrease blood pressure

d. Decrease salt intake : decrease blood pressure

e. Decrease blood volume : decrease blood pressure

f. Vasoconstriction : increase blood pressure

g. Increase peripheral resistance:  increase blood pressure

h. Increase salt intake:  increase blood pressure

i. Increase blood volume : increase blood pressure

j. Increase water reabsorption: increase blood pressure

Explanation:

  • Total peripheral resistance: This term refers to the resistance offered by the vascular system to the blood flow.  This resistance is a result of the friction between the blood and the vessel's walls. In other words, it is the opposition of the vessels to blood flow. The total peripheral resistance is the summary of all the bloody circuit resistances in the body. Those mechanisms that induce vasoconstriction conduce to an increase in total peripheral resistance, while mechanisms that induce vasodilation provoke a decrease in total peripheral resistance.    
  • Blood pressure: This term refers to the strength applied by the blood against the vessel walls as it flows.  This pressure is determined by the bombed blood strength and the volume as well as by the vessel size and flexibility. Blood pressure changes continuously according to the activity, temperature, diet, emotional state, among others.    
  • Salt ingestion causes an increase in plasmatic osmolarity, stimulates thirst, and hence, water ingestion. Sodium retains water, expanding the blood volume and causing an increase in vessel pressure.
  • The antidiuretic hormone, also known as vasopressin hormone, is released by changes in serum osmolarity or blood volume. Its function is to keep homeostasis and make kidneys conserve or keep water by concentrating urine and by reducing its volume. By these actions, the antidiuretic hormone stimulates water reabsorption, according to the organism´s needs.
  • Kidneys control blood pressure in many ways. If the pressure is elevated, kidneys produce the loss of salt and water, normalizing arterial pressure. But if pressure is low, kidneys conserve water.

How do the structures of the fruiting body and hyphase relate to their function
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Fungi is a unique living organism and it is not considered plant or animal and forms its own kingdom Fungus. On of the most unique features of a Fungi is that its body is composed of thread like structure called Hyphae and produce fruiting bodies, in which spores are formed are help the fungus in reproduction.

Coming towards the question that what is the unique feature of the structure of Hyphae and fruiting body that helps them in their function.

1: Hyphae:

Hyphae are composed of thread like structures called Hypha that are filamentous in nature. Due to its filamentous nature, it helps the fungi to better absorb nutrients from soil and anchor the fungus well in soil.

2: Fruiting body:

The fruiting body is main organ of fungi concerned with reproduction. It has rounded cap like structure in which spores are formed and are disseminated from one place to another and help fungi in reproduction.

Hope it helps!

Maru [420]

Answer:

In a particular case of secondary succession, three species of wild grass all invaded a field. By the second season, a single species dominated the field and the other two species had a lower relative abundance. A possible factor contributing to the abundances of these species in this example of secondary succession is <u>inhibition</u>.

Explanation:

Trees are great examples of allelopathy in plants. Some use their allelochemicals to inhibit germination or impede development of nearby plant life. Most allelopathic trees release these chemicals through their leaves, which are toxic once absorbed by other plants. Black walnut is a prime example of this.

Why would a drug the damages capsids help treat a viral infection
goblinko [34]
Because by damaging capsids, there is no place for the bad DNA to be stored. So the drug destroys the DNA so no more of the virus can be stored in the body.
