Answer: Climate change will likely increase the frequency and strength of extreme events (such as floods, droughts, and storms) that threaten human health and safety. Climate changes may expose more people to diseases. Some groups of people (e.g., the very young and the very old) are especially vulnerable to health impacts. First, older people are physically more vulnerable to extreme heat, so population aging could exacerbate increases in heat-stress mortality brought on by climate change. Higher temperatures also exacerbate outdoor air pollution such as ozone, which also disproportionately affects older people. Human health is vulnerable to climate change. The changing environment is expected to cause more heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Extreme weather events can compound many of these health threats. Climate affects population distribution both directly as well as indirectly through its effects on soil, vegetation and agriculture that have direct bearings on the pattern of population distribution. ... This explains a high density in the tropics, which are otherwise marked with extremes of climatic conditions.
The hyaline cartilage is the most common cartilage in the
body. It is a glass-like, translucent , bluish-white cartilage that can be
found on many joint surfaces, the respiratory tract and immature skeleton. It
is also present in the ribs, nose, larynx and trachea.
