After sitting for many hours during a trans‑Pacific flight, a passenger jumps up quickly as soon as the "fasten seat belt" light

is turned off, and immediately falls to the floor, unconscious! Within seconds of being in the horizontal position, however, consciousness is restored. Select the option that completes the explanation of what happened.
Upon standing, there is a time lag before the person’s heart responds to the:
O increased downward force of the top of her head on her blood. Lying horizontally removes the downward force.
O increased pressure difference between her feet and her head. Lying horizontally reduces the pressure difference.
O reduced fluid density in her brain, which causes a lack of oxygen. Lying horizontally restores the proper fluid density.
O rush of blood and other fluids up into her head. Lying horizontally equalizes her fluid levels once again.

Answer:

increased pressure difference between her feet and her head. Lying horizontally reduces the pressure difference.

<u>ANSWER</u><u>:</u>

<h2><u>DEFINITIONS</u></h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3><u>VOLUNTARY MUSCLES:</u></h3>

Voluntary muscles are those muscles which work under our conscious control and can be controlled at will also we can choose choose them when to use and when not to use. These are simply SKELETAL MUSCLES attached to the bone, so all the movements of hand and legs and whatever u do are because of voluntary muscles.

<h3><u>__________________________________________________</u></h3><h3><u>INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES:</u></h3>

the muscles in the human body that do not work under our will and we cant control them. They are mainly controlled by the autonomic nervous system in the body. So, involuntary muscles include all the muscles whose activity which is not controlled by our NERVES. They are also called SMOOTH MUSCLES since they are present as the visceral layer over the organs.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>DIFFERENCES</h2>

1)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are under our control but INVOLUNTARY                 MUSCLES are not under our control

2)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are also known as skeletal muscles but INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES are also known as smooth muscles

3)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are attached to the bones in the body, but INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES are attached to the soft hollow internal organs.

4)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are controlled by the somatic nervous system. INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

5)      VOLUNTARY MSUCLES  require more energy. INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES require less energy.

How is pH of the water will increase
Naddik [55]

Pure water has a pH level of 7, which means it is neutral on the pH scale. If you want to increase the pH of water, you must add an alkaline substance to it. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with anything above 7 being alkaline, and anything below 7 being acidic.
