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.

What animals did the grant study in galapagos island?

Galapagos finches did the grant study in Galapagos island.

Galapagos finches is a piece of evidence supporting the theory of evolution.

Darwin's finches comprise a group of 15 species endemic to the Galápagos (14 species) and Cocos (1 species) Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The group is monophyletic and originated from an ancestral species that reached the Galápagos Archipelago from Central or South America.

What did he observe?

During the survey voyage of HMS Beagle, Darwin was unaware of the significance of the birds of the Galapagos. He had learned how to preserve bird specimen while at the University of Edinbugh and and had been keen on shooting, but he had no expert in ornithology and by this stage of the voyage concentrated mainly on geology. Nonetheless, these birds were to play an important part in the inception of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.

What was the brief goal of their studies?

All of Darwin's observations and insights, plus reading of increasing population growth and demand for limited resources, brought him to his theory of natural selection. Briefly, this means that individuals better adapted to their environment survive and increase in number through reproduction.

What did they conclude?

Conclusion:

Charles Darwin deserves primary credit for the theory of evolution. He developed existing ideas about descent with modification while providing a large body of evidence in support of them, and he was the first person to perceive thatnatural selection is the primary force behind evolution.

Why do you think a growing human population means mass extinction events for earths animals
Mazyrski [523]

if we wipe out an animals natural habitat, or introduce new wildlife the animals could die. This could cause a major problem in the areas ecosystem. That is what i know, and i think that major problems would happen, like to many of one species, which takes all the food from the other species, causing major problems, and even more animals to die.
