As the peppered moth evolved over time, its wings  changed from light to dark so that it could better hide from predators. The evolution of peppered moth is used an example of natural selection. The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths had light coloration, which effectively camouflaged them against the light-colored trees and lichens which they rested upon. However, because of the wide spread pollution during the Industrial revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and the trees that peppered moths, or typica, to die off from predation. At the same time, the dark-colored, or melanic, moths, carbonaria, flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees.

The ileum contains ________ that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.
Ivanshal [37]

The ileum contains villi that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.

Villi are small finger-like structures that project into the lumen of the small intestine. Villi increase the surface area of the intestinal walls for easy and quick absorption of digested food with the addition of digestive secretions. Villi vary in length from about 0.5 to 1 mm. They are usually found in large numbers at the beginning of the small intestine and they reduce toward the end of the tract.

in mammals, an increase in the temperature of the preoptic area of the hypothalamus activates physiological mechanisms for heat
serious [3.7K]

True. In mammals, an increase in the temperature of the preoptic area of the hypothalamus activates physiological mechanisms for heat dissipation including vasodilation.

<h3>What is vasodilation?</h3>

Vasodilation, as it is known in medicine, occurs when blood vessels in your body open up, enabling more blood to flow through them and resulting in a reduction in blood pressure. Without your knowledge, your body goes through a routine procedure like this. It can also be brought on by the foods and beverages you consume as well as the drugs you take. Vasodilation may also be a sign of a particular illness.

The two of the many functions that your blood serves in the body:

  • Carrying oxygen and nutrients
  • Aiding in temperature regulation in your body.

Your body's blood arteries are more complex than simple tubes that remain constant in size. Your blood arteries include muscle as well, and that muscle regulates how wide or narrow they are at any particular time. Vasodilation occurs when blood vessels enlarge. Vasoconstriction is the opposite process, which occurs when blood vessels narrow and contract.
