Answer:

<em>The structure that holds the air passages open in the trachea (windpipe) is </em><u><em>the hyaline cartilage</em></u><em> in the tracheal wall offering support and keeping the trachea drom collapsing. </em>

Explanation:

<em>The bronchi are divided in two by the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra the gaps that keeps the bronchus open are the cartilages filled with the trachealis muscle, that holds open the lumen of  the trachea and bronchis and allow the flexibility necessary for the respiration motion (inspiration and expiration). </em>

Describe two integumentary system mechanisms that help regulate body temperature.
Basile [38]

Answer:

dilation of vessels and sweating

Explanation:

The vast blood supply of the skin aids in temperature regulation: dilated vessels enable heat to escape, while constricted vessels retain heat. The blood supply of the skin regulates body temperature. The skin aids in the maintenance of homeostasis. Humidity has an effect on thermoregulation because it reduces perspiration evaporation and, as a result, heat loss.

Scientists have discovered and analyzed a huge number of fossils that represent a wide variety of species. What type of evidence
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The fossil record supports a "biological" type of evidence.

Explanation:

<u>Fossils-</u> this refers to the <em>remains of prehistoric organism.</em><em> </em>It provides a trace of a <em><u>once-living plant, animal or organism. </u></em>

When it comes to evolution, fossils provide a biological type of evidence. This means that,<u><em> it shows how organism have greatly changed from the past.</em></u> When you study fossil records, you can compare it with the animal, plant or human structure nowadays. You can compare them side-by-side. So, you'd get that idea on how prehistoric things lived in the past and how they evolved up to the present day or became extinct.

<em>Most of the fossils can be found on sedimentary rocks.</em> You can also tell their ages according to which layer they belong. It is said that older layers consist of older fossils and they appear at the bottom while younger layers consist of younger fossils and they appear on top.
