There are basically 3 types of pharynx- nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx.
The function of the pharynx are:-
1. To transport the food from mouth to esophagus.
2. To warm, moisten and filter the air, before it moves to the trachea, and then to the bronchi, the bronchioles, the alveoli and at last to the lungs.
Therefore, pharynx(or throat) is a part of both- digestive and respiratory systems.
3. It is also important for vocalization.
Answer:
In chronic hypertension the baroreceptors get used to high blood pressure and does not respond effeciently.
Explanation:
Hypertension is the condition when blood pressure usually remains higher than normal. The systolic higher blood pressure is considered high above from 139 (mmHg) and diastolic is considered as above from 89 (mmHg).
The condition is considered to be chronic when it affects vital organs such as lung and hurt. There are several stimuli to which brain response to maintain normal blood pressure. Most important and fast of these is baroreceptors present in blood vessels that detect the change in blood pressure and signal to brain for proper response such as dilating the blood vessels in case of high blood pressure.
In coronary hypertension the walls of blood vessels become stiffer due to several factors such as smoking, stress and ageing. The high blood pressure produces tension in the wall of artery which is detected by baroreceptor. In coronary hypertension these barorecepetors get used to higher blood pressure thus does not response to it properly. So blood pressure remains high.
I believe it is C. I remember something about "Mendel alleles" but I could be incorrect.
Answer: There will be one homozygous straight wing, two heterozygous straight wings, and one homozygous curly wing.
Explanation: A true breeding pair means that both parents are heterozygous (Ww). Set up a Punnett square with two Ww parents. The offspring will be 1 WW (homozygous straight), 2 Ww (heterozygous straight), and 1 ww (homozygous curly).
Explanation:
The speed of sound depends on the elasticity and density of the medium through which it is traveling. In general, sound travels faster in liquids than in gases and faster in solids than in liquids. The greater the elasticity and the lower the density, the faster sound travels in a medium.
