What are the functions of the larynx and how does it carry out them on a daily basis?

MArishka [77]3 years ago

The larynx is an nicknamed the "voice box" because it holds the vocal cords inside. It helps change the pitch and volume of our voices as we speak. It is the only part of the body capable of doing this job, so we don't ever want it removed. Our voices would be much more monotone sounding. The larynx connects the pharynx to the trachea in the neck. It is also capable of allowing air through for us to breathe, but does not let anything (food or drink) block the airway. This is obviously a daily function since we eat and drink numerous times daily and usually have no problems breathing while eating and drinking. This is thanks to the larynx.

Hope this helps! :)

How many sperm cells are formed from an original cell in a Drosophila fruit fly at the conclusion of meiosis?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

C. Four Haploid Sperm Cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division measure that creates four haploid cells (gametes) from a solitary diploid germline cell. In males, meiosis is essential for spermatogenesis, the cycle to produce sperm. Sperm are the haploid cells that are produced in meiosis.  

Meiosis is a profoundly moderated cell division measure in eukaryotes that produces 4 cells (gametes) from a solitary cell (mother). Nonetheless, Nondisjunction in the male of Drosophila causes much of the time sperm with an addition or loss of chromosomes.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
