Answer:
The Biosphere
Explanation:
The biosphere is made up of all living organisms and is inextricably linked to the other three spheres: most live organisms need gases from the atmosphere, water from the hydrosphere, and nutrients and minerals from the geosphere.
Answer:
The correct answers are:
1. closing
2. the ventricles and arteries,
3. a constricted trachea
Lub is the first sound of a heartbeat and is mentioned as S1. It is usually produced due to the closing of tricuspid and and mitral or bicuspid valves present between atria and ventricles.
Tricupsid is located between atrium and ventricle of the right hand side and mitral valve is located between atrium and ventricle of the left hand side. They prevent the back flow of blood from ventricles to their respective atria.
Dub, being the second sound is written as S2. It is produced due to the closing of pulmonary (located between right ventricle and pulmonary artery) and aortic valves (located between left artery and aorta).
These valves prevent the back flow of blood from arteries into the ventricles.
The time between the two sounds is often taken as the measure of the diastole i.e. ventricular filling.
Wheezing refers to a high-pitched sound produced when a person breathes, especially during exhale. It is caused by constriction of the airways or inflammation. It is considered as a symptom of various diseases such as asthma, COPD, allergies, bronchitis etc.
