Why do arteries need to be thick, muscular, and elastic?

blood flows at a high pressure, so if the arteries are thin and less muscular, the arteries can explode due to the pressure. so it needs thick and muscular properties so that it can withstand the increasing pressure of the flow of blood.

im not sure why it needs to be elastic. Hope it helped :)

Natali [406]

Answer:

2.275% of this population has a diastolic blood pressure less than 60 mmHg

Explanation:

Hello!

Yo have the distribution of the diastolic blood pressure in a certain population. Be X: diastolic blood pressure of an individual, X~N(μ;δ²)

Where

μ= 82mmHg

δ=11 mmHg

You need to calculate the probability of an individual of this population having less than 60mmHg diastolic blood pressure.

Symbolically:

P(X<60)

To obtain the value of probability you need to standardize the value of diastolic pressure so that you can obtain it from the standard normal distribution. The way to standardize the value is to subtract the mean and divide by the standard deviation

Z= (X-μ)/δ~N(0;1)

P(Z<(60-82)/11)

P(Z<-2)= 0.02275

I hope it helps!

zaharov [31]

3. any trait that confers even a small increase in the probability that its possessor will survive and reproduce will be strongly favored and will spread through the population.

Explanation:

  • Natural selection is a nonrandom process by which biological traits become more or less common in a population as a function of the differential reproduction of their bearers of differences in the rate of survival.
  • Natural selection can act on any heritable phenotypic trait and operate among any entities that reproduce, show inheritance of their characteristics from one generation to the next, and vary in fitness.
  • Natural selection is the machine that drives evolution. It also explains adaptation.
