There are basically 3 types of pharynx- nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx.
The function of the pharynx are:-
1. To transport the food from mouth to esophagus.
2. To warm, moisten and filter the air, before it moves to the trachea, and then to the bronchi, the bronchioles, the alveoli and at last to the lungs.
Therefore, pharynx(or throat) is a part of both- digestive and respiratory systems.
3. It is also important for vocalization.
Answer:
<em><u>The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. ... The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere is a significant aspect of the weather patterns on Earth.</u></em>
Answer:
E
Explanation:
Wind blowing across the body surface increases transpiration of the skin. The winds reduce the local air pressure above the skin allowing the sweat to evaporate faster. As the sweat evaporates, it carries with it heat from the body. This cools the skin much faster than on a non-windy day. This is why a breeze feels so cool on the human skin on a hot day.
Answer:
Visibility
Explanation:
The depth at which an Emperor Penguin can dive is dependent on the extent to which sunlight can penetrate the ice water according to research. The extent of at which light can penetrate the ice water is also dependent on the degree of ice cover on the ocean. As a result of this, <em>as the depth of dive of an Emperor Penguin increases, visibility also decreases as light penetration reduces. In order words, lack of sunlight would reduce visibility as the diving depth of the Emperor Penguin increases.</em> That is why most deep dives have been found to occur in spring time when light penetration is high as a result of sunlight availability.
