Biology
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Their diameters  

Explanation:

An equation for the resistance to flow of a fluid through a pipe is

R = \dfrac{8 \eta l }{\pi r^{4}}

where

η = the viscosity of the fluid

l = the length of the pipe  

r = the radius of the pipe

The fourth-power term shows that even small changes in the radius (or diameter) of the passageways will cause large changes in airway resistance.

When the diameter of the airway gets as small as 1 mm, the resistance to air flow is quite large.

Nervous system

Explanation:

The nervous system in humans work together to collect information about the external environment because they consist of the brain, spinal cords and neurons. They collect information from external environment and those information travels through neurons from sense organs like eyes, ears, skin e.t.c as a form of electrical impulses. When they get to the end of the neuron, a chemical called neurotransmitters are released which travels across the cells and send it to the brain, the brain then process it and interprete the signals and respond to it as stimulus.
