Homeostasis is maintained by which of the following organ systems in humans?

5 0

A. Multiple organ systems working together

Explanation:

All of the organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis in humans because each system does something different. For example, the circulatory system delivers oxygen rich blood to the bones and the bones create new blood cells. When one thing is wrong with one system, it affects all of the systems, like a disease. Another example of this would be the central nervous systems and endocrine working together to coordinate messages to the brain about the body's state while resting and exercising to maintain homeostasis.

As evidenced in the graph, the national average CO concentrations have decreased substantially over the years. All BUT ONE tacti
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, non-irritant, odourless and tasteless toxic gas. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels such as wood, petrol, coal, natural gas and kerosene. Its molecular weight is 28.01 g/mol, melting point −205.1 °C, boiling point (at 760 mmHg) −191.5 °C (−312.7 °F), density 1.250 kg/m3 at 0 °C and 1 atm and 1.145 kg/m3 at 25 °C and 1 atm, and relative density (air = 1) 0.967 (1,2). Its solubility in water at 1 atm is 3.54 ml/100 ml at 0 °C, 2.14 ml/100 ml at 25 °C and 1.83 ml/100 ml at 37 °C.

The molecular weight of carbon monoxide is similar to that of air (28.01 vs approximately 29). It mixes freely with air in any proportion and moves with air via bulk transport. It is combustible, may serve as a fuel source and can form explosive mixtures with air. It reacts vigorously with oxygen, acetylene, chlorine, fluorine and nitrous oxide. Carbon monoxide is not detectable by humans either by sight, taste or smell. It is only slightly soluble in water, blood serum and plasma; in the human body, it reacts with haemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb).

The relationship of carbon monoxide exposure and the COHb concentration in blood can be modelled using the differential Coburn-Forster-Kane equation (3), which provides a good approximation to the COHb level at a steady level of inhaled exogenous carbon monoxide.

Conversion factors

At 760 mmHg and 20 °C, 1ppm = 1.165 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.858 ppm; at 25 °C, 1 ppm = 1.145 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.873 ppm.

Is Solid waste point source pollution or non point source pollution?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Nonpoint-source pollution is the opposite of point-source pollution, with pollutants released in a wide area. As an example, picture a city street during a thunderstorm. As rainwater flows over asphalt, it washes away drops of oil that leaked from car engines, particles of tire rubber, dog waste, and trash. The runoff goes into a storm sewer and ends up in a nearby river. Runoff is a major cause of nonpoint-source pollution. It is a big problem in cities because of all the hard surfaces, including streets and roofs. The amount of pollutants washed from a single city block might be small, but when you add up the miles and miles of pavement in a big city you get a big problem.

In rural areas, runoff can wash sediment from the roads in a logged-over forest tract. It can also carry acid from abandoned mines and flush pesticides and fertilizer from farm fields. All of this pollution is likely to wind up in streams, rivers, and lakes.

Airborne pollutants are major contributors to acid rain. It forms in the atmosphere when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides combine with water. Because acid rain results from the long-range movement of those pollutants from many factories and power plants, it is considered nonpoint-source pollution.
