Answer:

B. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - "speaking from the chest"; used as a means of finding masses in the lung. The whispered word is audible in areas where fluid or a mass is present

Explanation:

Auscultation in medicine, is the action of listening to sounds from the heart, lungs, or other organs, usually using a stethoscope, in order to perform medical diagnosis.

Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory and respiratory systems, as well as the alimentary canal. The procedure is best performed in a quiet examination room. A stethoscope is used to magnify internal sounds. Small changes in breath sounds are carefully observed in order to make a diagnosis.

Whispered pectoriloquy is used to detect vocal resonance. It is  used as a means of finding masses (consolidations e.g. pus) in the lung and is performed by having the patient quietly whisper a word. If fluid or a mass is present, words that are whispered may be heard clearly.

Which way should an arrow point between a producer and consumer in a food web? Why​
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The arrow should be pointing from the producer towards the consumer.

Producer --> Consumer

Explanation:

The arrow represents the flow of energy in a food web. Producers are the first source of energy, as they make their own food. The energy is then transferred to the consumer when they eat the producer. For example, if a cow were to eat grass, the energy would flow from the grass to the cow. The arrow shows how this energy is flowing from the first source to the second.
