The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide Inhaled oxygen enters the lungs and reaches the alveoli Oxygen passes quickly through this air blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries Similarly carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled

blood rich in oxygen enters the lungs through the pulmonary artery in where the alveoli within the lungs exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen so the carbon dioxide leaves your body.

Hope this helps a bit

Lyrx [107]

The answers are:

- very high humidity
- vines
- palms
- highest species diversity
- gorillas

Rainforests have very high humidity because it rains throughout the whole year and is constant summer, so the precipitation and high temperature contribute to very high humidity.
The rainforests have the highest species diversity of any biome, both animals, and plants, including plants like the vines that crawl on the other trees and the palms, as well as animals like the gorilla in Africa, in the Congo basin.

One consequence for nonprofits of using resources inefficiently is that .

Arada [10]

Non-profit organizations usually depend on grants or fund raising to cover their expenses so they must be very careful with their expenses.One consequence of this dependence can be running out of money. If they depend on fundraising and have regular fund raising campaigns then they have more independence as they rely on their own efforts to raise money rather than on government which can interfere in how they want to run their affairs.

Identify which layer of the integumentary system each of the following is most likely to be found and provide a one phrase descr

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The integumentary system comprises the skin, nails, hair and exocrine glands. The average persons skin weighs a approximately 9Kilograms and spans about 20 square feet.

Phagocytic cells: These are found in the dermis or hypodermis. The skin layer that lies directly beneath the epidermis and above the subcutaneous layer is the <em>dermis</em>. It is made up of fibrous and flexible tissue and is the thickest layer of the skin. It thus gives the skin power and flexibility.

Phagocytic cells are cells within the skin that are designed for detecting, engulfing, and destroying pathogens (such as bacteria and other harmful organisms) and apoptotic cells. Apoptotic cells are cells in the human body that have spent their lifespan and are ready for replacement.

Keratinocytes: This is the most common type of cell in the human skin. It is mostly found on the Epidermis and comprises about 95% of the same.

The Epidermis is the most visible part of the skin. It is the part of the skin which the eyes can see. Its function is mostly protective. It receives all nutrition from the dermis because it does not contain any blood vessels.

Arrector Pili Muscle: Beneath the skin, there are tiny muscles that are attached to the base of a hair follicle at one end and to dermal tissue on the other end. These are known as the Arrector Pili.

Papillae: The dermal papillae comprise a little amount of the dermis. They project out of the epidermis. They aren't always immediately visible on the surface of the skin but tend to be quite obvious when examined under a microscope.

Melanocytes: These are neural crest-derived melanin-producing cells. They are mostly found in the lower layer of the skin's epidermis (also known as the stratum basale), the middle layer of the eye (uvea), the inner ear, the vaginal epithelium, the meninges, the bones, and the core. A black pigment mainly responsible for skin color is melanin.

Paccinian corpuscles: can always be seen in the deep part of the dermis of both glabrous and hairy skin. Structurally, they are very much like the Meissner's corpuscles.

Paccinian corpuscles can be found in the Periosteum of the bone, capsules of the joints, pancreas, other internal organs, breast, and genitalia.
