The skin. Hallucinating rigidus is a somewhat rare condition where the shin hardens over time. Remember The story of killer croc? He had hallucinations rigidus, and this the name implies. It gives the body a scale like look and texture
Increasing evidence supports the importance of hemodynamic forces that are directly related to the work of the heart as the primary triggering event of atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis. The factors that primarily determine the work of the heart include systolic blood pressure (BP), blood viscosity, and the volume of blood the myocardium has to pump.
The relationship between BP and viscosity is such that, given a constant systolic BP, if blood viscosity increases, then the total peripheral resistance (TPR) will necessarily increase, thereby reducing blood flow. Conversely, when viscosity decreases, blood flow and perfusion will increase. Because of the dependence of systemic arterial BP on cardiac output and TPR, if blood viscosity and TPR rise, systolic BP must then increase for cardiac output to be maintained. Consequently, blood viscosity has been established as a major determinant of the work of the heart and tissue perfusion [1]. Since increased viscosity requires a higher BP to ensure the same circulating volume of blood, both the burden on the heart and the forces acting on the vessel wall are directly modulated by changes in blood viscosity.
Three important studies helped establish the relationship between blood pressure and blood viscosity. The earliest study observed 49 normal subjects and 49 patients with untreated essential hypertension, showing a direct correlation between BP and blood viscosity among both normotensive and hypertensive subjects (p<0.001). Systolic blood viscosity was 8 to 10% higher in hypertensive patients compared with normotensive controls, and diastolic blood viscosity was 16 to 28% higher in hypertensive patients. Subgroups each comprised of 25 subjects having matched hematocrits were also compared, and viscosity remained significantly higher in hypertensive subjects (p<0.05). [2]

A- the antlers and horns are structural adaptations. The fighting is a behavioral adaptation.
Antlers and horns are physical adaptations that some mammals have acquired over time. However, fighting is not a physical feature but a behavioral adaptation used to beat other males during mating season.
<span>Recovery from the 2008-2009 recession was agonizingly slow due to the following factors:
</span>
1. The recession had an impact on most of the industrialized West, not only the United States. As the recession spread to Europe, the United States's biggest market, it had a 360 degree impact on America's exports as well.
2. The US was spending a lot on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. While this was theoretically supporting millions of jobs in the war industry, for the average person, there was no benefit. Billions that could have been used to help people, were used elsewhere.
3. Rising debt was also a problem. The recession opened up the hidden truth behind America's prosperity, the debt problem. Most people and institutions were spending war more than what they had and when the debt started to mount up, there was very little flexibility left.
4. We also have to admit that the response for the recession was too late. Firstly, the government should not have let a recession happen. However, once it did, they waited for Lehman brothers to completely fail before taking concrete actions.

Determine if the chart shows an autosomal or sex-linked (usually X-linked) trait. For example, in X-linked recessive traits, males are much more commonly affected than females.
