Answer:

Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Their walls are composed of three layers called the tunica intima, tunica media, and the tunica adventitia, which all have different cellular structures and compositions.

Gastrulation, when the cells organize themselves into an embryo occurs 2 weeks after conception. What do the 3 layers of cells g
Travka [436]

Answer:

Gastrulation is the process where the developing embryo forms the process of the 3 germ layers. These germ layers are formed due to the movement of the single-layered blastula. Gastrulation starts during the third week of the human embryo.

The three germ layers give rise to different organs of the fetus. The 3 layers are ectoderm or outer layer, mesoderm or middle layer, and endoderm or inner layer.  

These 3 germ layers give rise to different organs of the human fetus. Ectoderm forms epidermis, skin, hair, olfactory organs, eye lense. glands like pituitary. Sensory nerves, skeleton, pigment cells are also formed from ectoderm.  

Ectoderm also forms a neural tube that further divides to form the brain, spinal cord.

Mesoderm form the vertebral column, skeletal muscle, excretory organs, reproductive organs. It also forms blood cells, blood vessels, body cavity or coelom.

The inner layer endoderm gives rise to the lining of the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, bladder, etc.

Korvikt [17]

after the evolution of the first living cells, fermentation wasn't needed, because aerobic respiration was now doable, since there was more oxygen in the air now. also, as the temperature increases, it becomes more energy consuming to conduct fermentation over aerobic respiration.

Hope this helps :)
