1. The branches of the bronchial tree ultimately ends at the alveoli. Bronchial tree consist of bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Bronchi are formed as the lower part of the trachea divides into two tubes. Bronchioles are smaller tube divisions of the bronchi. It walls contain smooth muscle and no cartilage. Alveoli are tiny ends of the alveolar ducts, which functions as the site for gaseous exchange.
2. Blood flows from the left atrium; mitral (bicuspid valves), the left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta, veins and heart, right side of the heart, superior and inferior vena cavae, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, then back to the heart...
3. Arteries and the veins differ in structures and they way they functions; Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body (except pulmonary artery) while veins carry deoxygenated blood back from the body to the heart (except pulmonary veins). A structural differences includes; the veins contain valves while arteries lack. Arteries have narrow lumen while veins have wide lumen. Lastly, blood carried by veins has higher pressure compared to blood carried in vessels.
4. The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and the bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs throgh the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.
5. The cartilage rings of the trachea They are strong but flexible tissues which support the trachea or the windpipe while still allowing it to move and flex during breathing. Additionally these cartilage rings are C-shaped to provide room for the esophagus, which lies along the back side of the trachea.
6. Functions of the larynx includes; To protect the airway from choking on material in the throat to regulate the flow of air into our lungs The production of sounds used for speech Larynx is part of the respiratory system and is located between the pharynx and the trachea. Humans use larynx to breathe, talk and swallow.
7. Structures that make up the pathway of air through the respiratory system starting with the external nares; We start with; External nares, nasal cavity, internal nares, nasopharynx, laryngopharynx,oropharynx, larynx, trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus, bronchiole, terminal bronchiole, respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct, alveolar sac and alveolus.
The correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.
Explanation:
Metallothionein is a group of cysteine-rich, small in size, and highly conserved proteins that bind to various metal ions and regulate their activity or toxicity in transcriptional level.
Metallothionein IIA is one of the metallothioneins that binds to heavy metal and helps cells to be protected from the toxicity of these heavy metals. These proteins are present in almost every eukaryotic organisms virtually. These proteins are highly induced to express highly in the present of heavy metals.
Thus, the correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.
The surface area to volume ratio of the cell decreases. This decrease is due to the fact that the volume of the cell increases at a greater rate than the surface surrounding the cell, the cell membrane, increases. This change is also visible when we are blowing up a balloon.
When considering the cell division, the ratio remains roughly the same. It is advantageous for the cell to preserve its surface area to volume ratio, since a higher ratio means that substances are able to diffuse into and out of the cell at a fairly higher rate.
When you shiver, that's actually how you help yourself stay warm! It's your immediate instinct reaction to do so when you're cold, so there will be more heat produced, and they occur by your muscles moving. =)
