Arteries are blood carrying vessels which have thick, elastic, muscular walls, have no valves and in which blood flows under high pressure. The make up of arteries is unique to their function of transporting blood under high pressure.
All arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to all other parts of the body, with the exception of the pulmonary artery which carries de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. It is the only artery that transports blood which has not been oxygenated.
Answer:
Darwin and Lamarck's theory is different but they were also very similar. Both of them thought that the organism changed, and they are very helpful for the organism to survive. These characteristics are also passed to their young generation.
Darwin theory state that an organism gets the helpful variation before the changes in the environment, Lamarck's theory said that organism gets variation after the change in the environment.
Lamarck's stated that giraffe got long neck when the food on the ground ran out. In order to get the food they stretch out their neck to get food. Darwin thought organism changed by chance, at the time when they are born and before the change in the environment.
<span>There are three major types of blood vessels: the arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart; the capillaries, which enable the actual exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues; and the veins, which carry blood from the capillaries back toward the heart</span>
Answer: Antibodies are proteins that are found in the body on the surface of red blood cells and in the blood plasma ,they are very sensitive to foreign bodies and bad viruses and bacteria,when they notice the presence of anything that poses harm or a threat to the body system,they track it down and fight/destroy it.
Antibodies also play crucial role in hemostasis(stoppage of bleeding) in the sense that when the body is wounded or when someone gets a cut antibodies that are found in the plasma and some substances found in the platelets are released to play a role in sending signal to the blood clotting factors in the blood to be released to arrest the bleeding and prevent the person from bleeding out their entire blood.
An example of a false negative is taking an HIV test and having the test come back negative to say the patient is clean, but in reality they have HIV. Another example of a false negative is a woman taking a pregnancy test saying "not pregnant" (i.e. test is negative), but she actually is pregnant. Between those two examples, it is better to have a false negative pregnancy test because it is non life threatening.
A false positive example would be getting bad news you have cancer, when you actually don't have cancer. Another false positive example is a test saying you have a cold virus, when in actuality you don't. The first example mentioned would have the patient likely go through intense chemo treatments which would greatly affect their livelihood. The second example is a more harmless false positive as it would involve at most a flu shot if anything.
