The correct answer is: A) pontine respiratory centers

The respiratory centre in the pons is responsible for generating and maintaining the rhythm of respiration. Besides this elementary function, it also has the ability to adjust respiration rhythm in c response to physiological changes. Respiratory centre consists of three major respiratory groups of neurons:

•  The dorsal respiratory group (DRG)- initiates inspiration (inhalation)

• the ventral respiratory group (VRG)-responsible for exhalation

• Pontine respiratory group- includes the pneumotaxic (controls both the rate and the pattern of breathing) and apneustic centers (promotes inhalation by sending signals to dorsal group).

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

It is true that one-toed horse of today steadily evolved from its five-toed ancestor.​

Explanation:

  • Similarly, horses had 5 toes millions of year back, but according to the theory of gradualism their use decreased and toes started fusing.
  • Now, its only one toe at present but the vestigial left over provides the solid evidence for the fact that horses had 5 toes in the past.

Does anyone know the answer to this ? What happens if you poke a hole in the plastic bottle of a balloon lung model?
o-na [289]
Then the model will become useless. originally the bottle should be air tight only tubes connected to the balloons, so that pressure can be shown when you adjust the plastic sheet in the bottom of the model. but now if there's a hole, air can move freely in or out the bottle and the model will not be able to show anything that occurs during respiration
