Explain how the terms atom, compounds, element, and molecules all relate to one another

1 answer:

7 0

For starters, atoms are the basic building blocks of matter- they make up elements, molecules and compounds. Elements most often combine with other elements as compounds. Whilst molecules are particles found in both elements and compounds. I hope that wasn't too confusing, but bottom line is that they are all linked together in this way! Helpful? :)

The right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs true or false

adell [148]

I believe the correct answer is FALSE.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The heart is an organ located at the center of the chest in the thoracic cavity and functions to supply blood to and from tissues giving the tissues oxygen and nutrients while taking away carbon dioxide and waste products. It is divided into 4 chambers and 2 chambers are separated by a muscular wall that prevents mixing of the blood.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>

Blood enters the heart via the vena cava which is divided into the superior vena cava that recieves blood from the upper region of the body that includes the head, neck and chest while the inferior vena cava recieves blood from the lower extremeties that includes the legs, the abdomen, the pelvic region and the thighs. The blood is deposited into the right atrium and is de-oxygenated. When it is deposited into the right atrium, the change in volume of the atrium and the expansion causes the valve to open and allow the de-oxygenated blood to flow into the right ventricle. The right ventricle then pumps the blood that is de-oxygenated to the lungs via the pulmonary artery which is the only artery that pumps de-oxygenated blood. In the lungs, carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added to the blood and is taken to the left atrium which pumps the oxygenated blood to the left ventricle and then the left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The blood is then again taken through the body via the capillaries and the veins pick up the blood that has been removed of oxygen and added with carbon dioxide and transport the blood back to the heart via the vena cava. It enters the right atrium via both the inferior and superior vena cava and the de-oxygenated blood is circulated again to the lungs for oxygenation from the left ventricle.

marin [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Consists of the brain and spinal cord

- central nervous system

Consists of the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord

-peripheral nervous system

Collects information from sensory organs

-peripheral nervous system

Processes information from sensory organs-central nervous system.

The CNS is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. The PNS consists of nerves, which link the CNS to various receptors and effectors.

The increase in volume of the muscle fibers due to the enlargement of its components is referred to as

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The increase in volume of the muscle fibers due to the enlargement of its components is referred to as hypertrophy.

Explanation:

Hypertrophy is about increasing the size of the transverse diameter of muscle fibers, it causes the muscle to grow in volume, due to the stimulation of the growth of muscle cells without cell division in the muscle. Hypertrophy occurs as a result of resistance training.

What part of the body is not working as it should when you have asthma

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The Lungs

Explanation:

Asthma is a lung disease that affects your airways. With asthma, the lining of your airways is constantly hypersensitive, resulting in redness and swelling (inflammation). It's similar to how sunburned skin turns red, irritated, and sensitive. The airways become hypersensitive to things you are exposed to on a daily basis, or asthma "triggers." a trigger could be a common cold, stress, changes in the weather, or environmental factors like dust, chemicals, smoke, or pet dander.

Airway remodeling can occur as a result of poor asthma management. When asthma is untreated or poorly managed, it can lead to airway remodeling, which is a serious condition. The lungs become scarred, asthma medications become less effective, and less air can pass through your airways. It is not necessary to remodel the airways.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?
