<span> A decrease in lung volume decreases the pressure within the lungs so air can flow inside. </span>

Answer:

The correct answer would be c. An increase in lung volume decreases the pressure within the lungs so air can flow inside.

During inspiration or breathing in, the diaphragm contract and move downwards which increases the volume of the chest cavity. Consequently, the volume of the lungs also increases.

In addition, the contraction of intercostal muscles pulls the ribcage outwards and upwards which also increases the size of the chest cavity.

This also increases the lung volume due to which the air pressure inside the lungs is decreased as compared to the air pressure outside the body.

It results in the movement of air inside the lungs from outside the body as air moves from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure.

Compare and contrast bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology. What are their similarities and differences? g
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Bioarchaeology is a discipline that studies human skeletal remains in an archaeological investigation; while forensic anthropology refers to the study of human skeletal remains in a criminal case  

Explanation:

Bioarchaeology is a discipline centered on the study of skeletal remains in order to obtain useful information about past societies/civilizations such as, for example, health conditions. On the other hand, forensic anthropology investigates human skeletal remains within a legal and/or criminal investigation. This information may result useful to identify a dead person, find the cause of death, and estimate time since death.

Similarities:

-Both disciplines have a strong biology background (especially in zoology)

-Both disciplines are focused on skeletal analysis

Differences:

-Bioarchaeology is associated with the anthropological study of human societies, while forensic anthropology associated with legal investigations

10+6h=34 what does h equal?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:  h = 2.125

Explanation:

Simplifying

10h + 6h = 34

Combine like terms: 10h + 6h = 16h

16h = 34

Solving

16h = 34

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '16'.

h = 2.125

Simplifying

<h2>h = 2.125</h2>
