The aorta receives the full force of blood exiting the heart during ventricular systole. Which of the following statements best

describes the adaptive anatomy of the aorta? A) The aorta's tunica media is thick with dense regular connective tissue to withstand the blood's pressure. B) Smooth muscle is relatively thin in the aorta to increase lumen size and systemic blood flow. C) Elastic fibers are extensive in the tunica media of the aorta and dampen the pulse pressure generated by the heart. D) The tunica external of the aorta is nearly absent compared to other vessels.

Answer:

A & C

Explanation:

Aorta is the biggest artery and channels pumped blood from the left ventricle of the heart to tissues. It, therefore, needs to bear the greatest burden of blood pressure because the left ventricle is thicker than the right ventricle and pumps blood with high pressure so that it reached the tissues with the right hydrostatic pressure to allow blood plasma pass through the capillaries walls into tissue fluid.

The walls of the aorta need to be thick enough and elastic to bear the pressure. This is why the <em>tunica media</em> is thickest it aorta because these elastic fibers provide strength and elasticity to prevent rupturing and smooth muscle cells contract and relax in regulation of this pressure to maintain the right pulse.

Why does the moon have a effect on the sea? <br><br>will give BRAINLIEST and a thank you!​
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The Moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges of water are high tides. ... High tides and low tides are caused by the Moon give me brainliest

What term best describes the following organism: the so-called blue-green algae, they are photosynthetic bacteria; producing oxy
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option E.

Explanation:

The features given in the question are the characteristics features of the group of bacteria belonging to Cyanobacteria.

These Cyanobacteria are the prokaryotes which are capable of synthesizing the food through a process called photosynthesis. These bacteria use sunlight as their energy, use water and air to synthesize food. They under anaerobic condition synthesize the nitrogen in special structures called heterocyst, a characteristic feature of cyanobacteria.

Thus, the features given in the question are:  

1. contain photosystems to carry out photosynthesis.

2. producing oxygen

4. contain phycobilins

6. Hetrocysts: nitrogen-fixing structures.

7. The ancestor of plant chloroplasts.

Thus, option E is the correct answer.
