Adaptation is a phenomenon that is about adjusting certain features to environmental conditions. Ie. birds are adapted to flight as they possess wings, very efficient lungs etc. or tropical plants are adapted to high temperature and humidity as they modified their photosynthesis process. but if some creature is adapted to the specific habitat or conditions, it is hard for it to manage in another habitat/different conditions. ie. birds are fast in the air but on the ground they are quite weak and prone to predators' attacks.

GaryK [48]

All of the following contributes to turbulent blood flow except  third and fourth heart sounds.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

When the kinetic energy in the fluid flow increases the turbulent flow of blood occurs. Both the magnitude and the direction of the flow changes in this type of blood flow. These are caused by the irregularities in the vessel walls, flow rates to ne higher and opening of the valves of the heart.
