Distention from accumulating gas and fluid impede venous return, leading to bowel wall ischemia.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When the bowel lumen is obstructed, the gases and fuids starts accumulating as a repose to the obstruction. The accumulated fluid and gases results in the swelling or enlargement. This will result in the production of electrolytes and water inside the mumen that is in obstruction. The wall of the bowle will also enlarge and becomes swollen.
As more and more fluid and gas gets accumulated in the bowel, the bowel wall will be enlarged and as there is an increase in the pressure due to this accumulation, the fluid starts to leak from the wall. This will enter peritoneum and necrosis. This will result in an acute emergency when it becomes serious.
<span>Let's look at all the statements:Which of the following statements is true?
Parts of an ecosystem only include biotic factors such as plants and animals. - this is not true, it also includes abiotic factors, such as stones
If a common plant in an ecosystem becomes diseased, the ecosystem may become unbalanced. - this is the true statement! it could be a source of food for other animals, and thus it could influence the population of other species
Abiotic factors include decomposers such as fungi and bacteria. - this is false, those are biotic factors.
Tundras have a high diversity of species. - this is not true - compared to the rain forest, for example, tundras are not very diverse</span>
1. Structure such as the human tailbone or appendix that evolution has reduced in size because it is no longer used = d. vestigial structure
2. study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species:
= g. comparative anatomy
3. structure that is similar in related organisms because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = c. homologous structure
4. study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species: study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species = j. comparative embryology
5. scientist who finds and studies fossils to learn about evolution and understand the past:
= i. paleontologist
6. mistaken idea of jean baptiste lamarck that evolution occurs through the inheritance of traits that an organism develops in its own lifetime: = h. inheritance of acquired characteristics
7. process by which a single species evolves into many new species to fill available niches:
= e. adaptive radiation
8. relative ability of an organism to survive and produce fertile offspring: = k. fitness
9. structure that is similar in unrelated organisms because it evolved to do the same job, not because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = f. analogous structure
10. study of how and why plants and animals live where they do: = a. biogeography
11. process in which organisms evolve traits useful to humans because people select which individuals are allowed to reproduce and pass on their genes to successive generations:
= b. artificial selection
