The evolution of H. floresiensis is an example of island dwarfism.

Explanation:

H. floresiensis is a species of hominid. It differs significantly than the other hominid species in size though, as it appears to be a dwarfed version of its ancestors and close relatives. Its alleged ancestor is literary twice taller, which brings in the question as to what has triggered such an evolutionary adaptation.

This hominid species lived only on a relatively small island, in isolation. The resources are very limited, and the climate is warm and humid all year around. As seen in many species of animals, when individuals get into such an environment, they tend to experience either island dwarfism, or island gigantism. The island dwarfism tends to be common among large and medium sized species, while the island gigantism tends to be more common among the small species.

When the ancestors of H. floresiensis ended up in this environment, it was advantageous for them to smaller. The reason for that is that smaller bodies require less nutrition, and are also producing less heat.

Answer:

Explanation:

Well...it is a type of antagonistic mechanism based of Dalton's Law for PArtial Pressures. We take in O2 and Exhale CO2 very effectively because the partial pressure of oxygen is higher outside and lower inside lungs and vice versa for CO2. when the Air with 21% O2 content enter the lungs, the Alveoli that are special sacs filled with air absorb some of it through their membranes and by a process called membrane diffusion of gases. The Air with 16% O2 content is exhaled out by the antagonistic action of lungs and Diaphram muscles combined.

Mariulka [41]
Insertion of a narrow flexible tube, or catheter, through a blood vessel into the heart to withdraw blood samples, measure pressures, and inject contrast medium for imaging purposes is called Cardiac catheterization<span>. Cardiac catheterization is a procedure to examine how well the heart is working. A thin, hollow tube called a catheter is inserted into a large blood vessel that leads to the heart. It is normally performed if one has a disease of the heart muscles, valves, or coronary arteries. During this procedure, the pressure and blood flow in the heart can be measure and therefore a problem or a disease can be diagnosed; or the efficiency at which the heart is working.</span>
