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.

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system controls heart function to adapt to the effect of body positional changes. In some circumstances it takes a few seconds. So even if the passenger would have been held upright she would have recovered consciousness. The horizontal position sped up things

Which of these definitions have been paired with the correct type of cell?
patriot [66]

Answer:

B. Neurons are cells that conduct electrical impulses.

Explanation:

Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells protect against pathogens and aid in blood clotting after injury. Blood cells cannot contract.

Neurons generate and conduct electrical impulses. So this one is correct.

Epithelial cells line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs, protect underlying tissue, regulate the exchange of chemicals, and secrete various substances. They do not react to stimuli, however neurons do.

Smooth muscles helps the skeleton move, smooth muscle is found in blood vessels and some organs, and cardiac muscle helps the heart beat and pump blood. They are however, not components of blood.
