A condition known as Pulmonary Hypertension is characterized by high blood pressure in the pulmonary circuit. Which chamber of t

erik [133]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be the right chamber of the heart especially right ventricle.

Explanation:

Pulmonary hypertension is the elevated blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs known as pulmonary arterioles. This happens due to the narrowing of the pulmonary arterioles in the lungs and capillaries which could lead to the blockage of arterioles.

This increases pressure in the arterioles and alveolar part of the lungs which is passed down to the right part of the heart especially "right ventricle" which pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. The right ventricle has to work harder to pump blood to lungs which causes the heart muscle to weaken and fail.

Thus, the right chamber of the heart especially right ventricle is the correct answer.

Describe how you can avoid spreading invasive plant species.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

There are three main ways of avoiding the spreading of an invasive plant species via manual control. Manual control techniques include activities such as hand-pulling, digging, flooding, mulching, burning, removal of alternate hosts and manual destruction or removal of nests, egg masses or other life stages. These techniques work best on small populations or in areas where chemicals or motorized equipment cannot be used. Manual control efforts must be persistent and several treatments may be needed to reduce or eliminate the target population. If infestations are too pervasive, manual control may become labor intensive and thus not economically feasible. Digging/Hand-pulling: Remove entire root to prevent resprouting. Usually works best with small or young plants, in sandy or loose soils, or when soils are damp. Smothering: Use mulch, black plastic, carpet, or any other impenetrable barrier to cover target plants for at least one growing season. The effectiveness of this technique can be increased by first cutting the target plants and then smothering them. If dealing with a species that produces clones, be sure to cover all stems of the species. Flooding: This is only feasible where water levels can be manipulated to completely cover cut plants for a period of time. The depth of water necessary and the amount of time cut plants should be covered will vary from species to species.
