There is only a single part of the body that is able to get oxygen directly from the air and that is the Cornea.

The cornea is:

At the front of the eye.
Is clear which allows for the bending of light which is why blood cannot be there as it would mess with this process.

For this reason, the cornea gets no blood and so has to get its oxygen from the air unlike the rest of the body that gets it from blood supply.

In conclusion, the Cornea is the only part of the body that gets oxygen from the air.

Following are a number of distinguishing characteristics of spiral and elliptical galaxies. Match each characteristic to the app

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

1. have a flattened disk of stars --- spiral galaxies.
2. are rare in central regions of galaxy clusters --- spiral galaxies.
3. contain many bright, hot stars --- Spiral galaxies.
4. are more reddish in color --- Elliptical galaxies.
5. contain primarily old, low-mass stars --- Elliptical galaxies.
6. contain abundant clouds of cool gas and dust --- Spiral galaxies.
7. have significant, ongoing star formation --- Spiral galaxies

Explanation:

Most galaxies that contain a central bulge that is surrounded by a rotating disk of arms that circles the galaxies are said to be a spiral galaxy.

About 60% of the galaxies are made up of spiral shapes and they are mostly found n low-density regions and are in the central of the galaxy clusters. Spiral galaxies often have beautifully shaped made form hot and young stars.

The more reddish in color indicates much older galaxies and are resemble that of an elliptical shape. Also, they consist of a little amount of dust and gas left. Spiral galaxy has rich gas and high star formations.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Earthquakes -the physical phenomena of ground shaking, surface fault rupture, and ground failure and, in some coastal areas, tsunamis. Smaller earthquakes, aftershocks, may follow the main shock, sometimes several hours, months, or even several years later.

Volcanoes-serious damage is restricted to small areas compared with the extent of damage from large floods or great earthquakes. Yet volcanic eruptions can take a high toll in human life and property.
