Answer:

b) from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure

Explanation:

Blood flow is measured in blood volume per unit time. It is the movement of blood through an organ, tissue or vessel. It is initiated when ventricles in heart contract leading to its ejection at high pressure. Major arteries receive this blood and they further transport it at high pressure to smaller arteries, arterioles and capillaries. Hence arteries have thick walls to withstand this pressure. The pressure decreases when blood reaches to veins hence their walls are not that thick.  Hence, blood flows from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure.

How has increased global travel boosted the spread of certain species?
ser-zykov [4K]
<h3>Global travel and spread of certain species</h3>

Explanation:

Many pathogenic species of bacteria, virus, and other microbes are more prevalent in developing or tropical countries rather than in developed countries.

When an individual’s immune system is weak they become more susceptible to get infected and become carriers of that particular species.

The species grows, develops, and multiplies in the host’s body and when the traveler travels to his/her home country or any other place he/she can transmit the disease to others and again the species grows in numbers. Higher the rate of spread of infection higher is the increase in species.
