What process takes place at the boundary between the capillaries and the alveoli?

Biology
1 answer:
Schach [20]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Carbon dioxide enters the alveoli, and oxygen enters the capillaries.

Explanation:

This describes the exchange of gases in the lungs. When blood from the rest of the body gets to the lungs through the capillaries, oxygen flows from the alveoli which are tiny air sacs in the lungs, into the blood in the capillaries.

Carbon dioxide from the blood brought to the lungs will then flow into the alveoli which will then expel it through the nose. This repeated process ensures that the body keeps getting oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.

Which response represents the potential risks of a biohazard exposure to the facial mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, or mouth
Assoli18 [71]

When exposed to the mucous membranes on the face, biohazards can contaminate the eye as well as enter the circulation and stomach.

  • Biological compounds that endanger the health of living things, particularly humans, are referred to as biohazards, sometimes known as biological hazards.
  • Medical trash or samples of microorganisms, viruses, or toxins (from a biological source) that may be harmful to human health are examples of biohazards.
  • Bacteria, viruses, parasites, and molds or fungi are examples of biological health risks.
  • When they come into touch with skin, are eaten, or are inhaled, they can be harmful to human health.
  • They have the potential to spread diseases such parasite infections, tetanus, lung infections, and food poisoning.
  • The method via which a person can come into touch with a dangerous material is referred to as an exposure pathway. There are three primary exposure routes: direct touch, ingestion, and inhalation.

Zanzabum

Answer:

There are different types of reflexes, and some of them can be controlled voluntarily due to cortical processing.

Explanation:

Even if there is an initial myotactic reflex of moving away from the heat, the cortical processing that is subject to learning makes you not let go of the pan. It should be noted that there are different types of reflexes, and not all postural reactions are automatic. The cerebral cortex influences voluntary postural adjustment movements. Such control is mainly performed by the brain stem, where ocurrs the modulation of motor neurons and spinal cord interneurons through the lateral descending (fine movements) and medial (posture and balance) downward pathways.

In order to test the implications of early emotional bonding, scientists have done testing on infant emotionality by separating
timofeeve [1]

In order to test the implications of early emotional bonding, scientists have done testing on infant emotionality by separating animal babies from their natural mothers, allowing them to be raised by another of their same species. This testing strategy is called Cross fostering

  • Transfer of children between mothers is known as cross-fostering. This method is used to distinguish between environmental and genetic impacts on behavior.
  • Transferring some freshly born or hatched young of species A from their mother nest to the nests of species B is the primary process of cross-fostering.
  • A behavior can be proven to have a genetic foundation if cross-fostered offspring have a behavioral attribute that is distinct from that of their foster parents and similar to that of their biological parents.
  • Similarly, environmental variables are proven to be dominating if the offspring exhibits qualities that are different from those of their biological parents and comparable to those of their foster parents.
  • There is frequently a combination of the two, demonstrating both genes.
  • This can be utilized in selective livestock breeding to combine desirable genetic traits like weight, fat distribution, or looks with ones that are influenced by the environment, like temper.

Who were the people left out of the postwar boom? How do you account for their exclusion?
Anna11 [10]
<h2>African Americans </h2>

  • African Americans and women were entitled to the same benefits as white men under the GI Bill, but often faced difficulty trying to claim their benefits due to discrimination
  • Those who did manage to get benefits were often steered towards training for menial jobs
  • The frustration of African American veterans barred from participating in the postwar economic boom became a major motivating factor in the Civil Rights Movement

Which of the following statements about the effects of pollution on marine ecosystems is true?
ankoles [38]

Answer is b. Burning fossil fuels causes a decrease in the pH of ocean water making it more acidic.

Burning of fossil fuels release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide gets dissolves in the ocean to form carbonic acid.  Due to formation carbonic acid, the pH of ocean water changes slightly. The average pH of ocean water was 8.2 slightly basic. Now it 8.1, it means there is 25 % increase in acidity of ocean water.
