Oxygen must dissolve into fluid lining alveoli prior to diffusing into our pulmonary capillaries but we cannot breathe water. Ex

plain why we are not able to survive by allowing our lungs to fill with water and breathing underwater. In your answer for this question, consider multiple differences in the respiratory fluids (water and air).

Answer:

The strong hydrogen bonds   in water made water stable and difficult to breakdown into constituent  oxygen and hydrogen atoms.  at a temprature less than 100 degree..

Oxygen is a strong electronegative atom than  the two hydrogen atoms it is attached to in  water. It  pulls more electrons to itself than the hydrogen atoms.. This strengthened  hydrogen bonds in water .

Consequently, it will be difficult for the needed oxygen atoms to simply diffuse into the alveoli to reach the blood,Compare to its  molecular form  where its atoms awere held  by relatively week covalent bonds.

Besides the porosity    of the thin  alveolar endothelial   walls of 0.2 micrometer is   too small for the larger water molecules to pass through.

The magnetic particles in seafloor ridges are aligned differently in a repeating pattern. How
Mademuasel [1]

A. Earth's magnetic field reverses over time;  the changes show that seafloor spreading  has taken place over time.

Explanation:

The pattern of the magnetic minerals in seafloor ridges are aligned in a repeating pattern because the earth's magnetic field reverses overtime.

This provides evidence because the changes shows that the sea floor spreading has taken place over time.

  • The concept of sea floor spreading was first suggested by Harry Hess in the early 1960's.
  • Using sophisticated tools, he was able to discover stripe patterns of magnetic minerals in rocks.
  • The earth can be likened to a giant bar magnet
  • The geomagnetic field originates from the core where the movement of molten metals induces magnetism.
  • In a fresh cooling magma, the metallic minerals are able to align their domains with the prevailing magnetic field.
  • At some point the magnetic field is normal with a very strong intensity. At other times the intensity is low and it reverses.
  • The minerals keeps track of the changes.
  • This leads to striped pattern that has been used to suggest sea floor spreading.

infIdentify flexor digitorum profundus in the right upper limb and the ulnar vein that is immediately superficial to it on its m
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The upper region of the body veins carries blood that has no oxygen to the heart through superior vena cava and the lower part of the blood with no oxygen will transfer to the heart with the help of superior vena cava.

In Right hand:

At first, blood in the palmar region or distal end of the arm deoxygenated blood from this side will go to the following manner -

right ulnar vein - to the right Axillary vein - to the right subclavian vein - Right internal jugular vein - right brachiocephalic vein and finally it reaches the superior vena cava of the heart.

The same pathway will take place on the left side of the upper region of the body.
