Answer:

Peripheral vascular resistance (systemic vascular resistance, SVR) is the resistance in the circulatory system that is used to create blood pressure, the flow of blood and is also a component of cardiac function. When blood vessels constrict (vasoconstriction) this leads to an increase in SVR.

The relationship between BP and viscosity is such that, given a constant systolic BP, if blood viscosity increases, then the total peripheral resistance (TPR) will necessarily increase, thereby reducing blood flow. Conversely, when viscosity decreases, blood flow and perfusion will increase.

The histogram shows the worldwide population densities of killer whales, or orcas, distributed by latitude. According to the gra
shutvik [7]

The correct answer is - Most killer whales congregate in the areas that are near the Arctic/Antarctic Circles.

The killer whales have a very large distribution, and they can be found in all oceans, apart from the Southern Ocean. It is noted though that the population density of the killer whales differs from place to place. The higher concentrations are found around the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, where there's cool rich waters, while in the lower latitudes they are much rarer. The reason for this probably lies in the fact that most of the animals that are considered to be the prime food source of the killer whales are living in this rich cold waters.

The major anatomical difference between gray matter and white matter is __________. the major anatomical difference between gray
xenn [34]
Our central nervous system is made up of two tissues: the gray matter and the white matter. The gray matter is composed of the dendrites and the axon terminals where synapses are. These synapses are the links between neurons that transmits electrochemical signals. The white matter, on the other hand, is composed of axons that connect all the gray matter together. Therefore, the answer is: <span>white matter is primarily in the CNS in the presence of myelinated axons</span>

What factors drive the movements of global air masses
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The 4 types of air masses are polar, tropical, continental and maritime. Their classification depends on their location where they are formed.

Explanation:

One major influence of air mass movement is the upper level winds such as the upper level winds associated with the jet stream. The jet stream wind is often referred to as a steering wind. The troughs and ridges of the jet stream will help transport cold air toward lower latitudes and warm air toward high latitudes.
