Because their TEETH ARE MISALIGNED AND THEY USUALLY POSSESS LONG TONGUE. Respiratory illness is common in people who have down syndrome and their unique airway anatomical factors makes airway management difficult during respiratory distress. For instance, they have narrower upper airway and smaller trachea.
Answer:
WATER REABSORPTION IN THE COLLECTING TUBULE OF TE KIDNEY
Explanation:
Antidiuretic hormone synthesized by the neurons in the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary allows for the reabsorption of water from the collecting ducts of the kidneys back into the circulation.
This therefore reduces the amount of water in the urine causing the formation of concentrated urine and reduced volume of urine.
It causes the increased reabsorption of sodium in the ascending loop of Henle adding to the counter-current mechanism which aids the further reabsorption of water from the distal tubules and collecting ducts.
It also allows the constriction of arteries thereby reducing arterial blood pressure.
