The answer would be Prevents reflux of air back into the chest

Pneumothorax happens if there is hole between the visceral pleura and parietal pleura which normally have negative pressure. This allow the air slip out into the space, prevent the lungs to expand. Chest tube is placed in the pleura to remove the air while the water seal the tube so the air from atmosphere won't go inside.

Explain how the body's five senses are processed by the nervous system. Give specific examples of each in your answers.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Specialized cells and tissues within these organs receive raw stimuli and translate them into signals the nervous system can use. Nerves relay the signals to the brain, which interprets them as sight (vision), sound (hearing), smell (olfaction), taste (gustation), and touch (tactile perception).

Cell walls are impermeable to transport of most materials required for bacterial nutrition.
mezya [45]

The given statement is False.

The bacterial cells walls are composed of peptidoglycan, also known as murein. It comprises polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides, involving D-amino acids. The bacterial cell walls are distinct from cell walls of fungi and plants that are made up of chitin and cellulose, respectively.

The cell walls in bacteria allow small molecules to pass through them freely, however, do not permit large molecules to pass through them, in this manner, it function as a coarse filter.

The main function of the cells wall is to sustain the shape of the cell and inhibit the cell from bursting due to osmotic pressure. The cell wall allows the components to pass, which are essential for bacterial nutrition.
