Bad White [126]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Dinosaurs are living organisms that depends on the environment for survival. As the asteroid hits the Yucatan Peninsula area about 66 million years a couple of things can happen:

Frictional heating of the surface as the earth collided with the asteroid. This heating will cause surface temperature to rise globally and can induce the phenomenon of global warming. This can lead to release of water from reservoirs on the earth surface and hence flooding.

The impact can lead to increase in surface pressure beyond normal and that which life has adjusted to.

Debris in form of dust will be released into the atmosphere and a global air pollution will occur. Gases useful for life will be highly polluted by the vast amount of dusts and other particles discharged into the atmosphere.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The sequence order of the arterial vessels in the order leading from the aorta to the brain is: 2,4,5,1,3.

Explanation:

Correct Answer: In order, the sequence of vessels leading from the aorta to the brain is: 2,4,5,1,3.

2 -The brachiocephalic artery (same as brachiocephalic trunk and innominate artery) is an artery found in the mediastinum region where blood is supplied to the right arm and the head and neck

4 - The right subclavian artery arises from the arch of the aorta directly which is a branching of the brachiocephalic trunk and is on the left lies posterior to the insertion of the scalene muscle anterior on the first rib.

5 - The vertebral arteries are arteries majorly of the neck. Usually, this arteries originate from the subclavian arteries. It functions so as to supply the vertebrobasilar vascular system, thks vertebral arteries supply blood in this order to the upper spinal cord, brainstem, cerebellum, and posterior part of brain.

1- Meanwhile basilar artery carries oxygenated blood from 5 to the cerebellum, brainstem, and occipital lobes.

3 - Several arteries at the bottom (inferior) side of the brain is called Circle of Willis and it is the joining area of several arteries in the brain. Branching of smaller arteries from the Circle of Willis happens here as internal carotid arteries that supply oxygenated blood of more than 80% of the cerebrum.

If the part of our skin we can see is made of dead cells,<br> why is it painful to get a tattoo?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Well, it’s because tattoos have to get that ink deep enough that it won’t get washed away but not too deep so it remains visible — the ideal location ends up being right next to your skin’s pain receptors.
