Answer:

Option C,  Intrapleural pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure

Explanation:

During inspiration, the air enters the lungs due to lower pressure in the intrapulmonary or intra-alveolar  than the atmospheric pressure. During quite respiration, the intrapulmonary pressure reduces to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg lower than that of atmospheric pressure. During quiet expiration, the intrapulmonary pressure rises up to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg higher than that of atmospheric pressure. This leads to lack of air in the intrapleural space thereby producing intrapleural pressure which is lesser than that of intrapulmonary pressure.  

This difference in pressure (i.e higher pressure with in the lungs than the atmosphere)  causes lungs to remain attached to the chest wall and hence looks inflated.  

Hence, option C is correct

The anatomy and physiology instructor is discussing adrenergic receptors with the nursing class. What adrenergic receptor would
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Alpha-1

Explanation:

Adrenergic receptors are the integral proteins present in the postsynaptic plasma membranes. These receptors are activated when the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and the hormones norepinephrine and epinephrine bind to them. The alpha 1 adrenergic receptors are found in the smooth muscle fibers of blood vessels that serve the salivary glands, skin, and kidneys. These receptors are also found in the radial muscle of iris of the eye as well as in the sphincter muscles of the stomach and urinary bladder.

They exert excitatory effect and lead to contraction of smooth muscles of the blood vessels, dilation of pupil, and closure of sphincters of the bladder.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. the sun is the primary source of energy for ecosystems. the sun emits . when
galben [10]

The scientific law of one organism feeding off other where energy is transferred from one form to another is known as the law of conservation of energy.

<h3>How the sun is the primary source of energy for ecosystems?</h3>

Energy from the highest energy source that is sun is absorbed by plants to convert it into food (i.e a form of energy). plants are the only ones that can convert sunlight into another form of energy directly.

The animals and organisms that feed off of the plants take some part of this energy for their life cycles and then the animals that feed off of these animals again take some part of this energy and carry on with their life cycle, this is how energy from sun (highest source) is transferred to different organisms by Just changing form.

Thus, The scientific law of one organism feeding off other where energy is transferred.
