Answer:

The options

A. pseudostratified epithelium

B. glandular epithelium

C. cuboidal epithelium

D. stratified epithelium

E. columnar epithelium

The CORRECT ANSWER IS A.

A. pseudostratified epithelium

Explanation:

A pseudostratified epithelium is a form of epithelium that, entails of a major layer of cells, with its cell nuclei placed in a manner that speaks of stratified epithelia.

Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium cells are located in spots such as the trachea and upper respiratory tract, of which its cilia and mucous secretions do gather foreign bodies to be expelled during coughing or sneezing.

The aftermath of exposure to cigarette smoke are lung inflammation and the destruction of normal pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium. Cilia length is also reduced in smokers.

Fofino [41]
The Arctic Fox lives in the Arctic Tundra (more or less around Alaska, Iceland I think, and other places like that). During the winter, their fur is very thick and solid white (not always SOLID but generally speaking). During the summer and spring, their fur turns brown.

1. Of course, during the winter in those regions, it's going to be snowing and ice is going to be all over the ground. By having a white coat, they're able to blend in and hide from predators, such as the Arctic Wolf and Polar Bears. By turning brown, they'll be able to blend in with the dirt after the snow and ice melts, and again, hide from predators. For the other fox, their brown coat blends in with the dirt, trees, dead leaves, etc. and they'll be able to hide from prey and predators alike. 

2. The Arctic Fox also has very thick fur during the winter, which allows it to survive the extreme temperatures. They also dig burrows in the snow for shelter in blizzards. This gives them the ability to survive natural disasters (at least one of them).

I can't think of a third one but these should give you a pretty good idea of how their adaptations help them survive. I really love the Arctic fox so I know quite a bit about them. I really hope this helps you.

Imagine you are a red blood cell sitting in the right atria of the heart. Write a paragraph that describes what happens to this
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

A red blood cell, sitting in the right atria of the heart is chocolate-brown in color since its a deoxygenated red blood cell with carbon dioxide rather than oxygen in its hemoglobin.

 

First

The tricuspid valve pumps it through the right ventricle

Secondly

pulmonary valve pumps it from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.

Then

In the alveoli of the lungs, gas exchange occurs during pulmonary circulation

The end product is oxyhemoglobin( bright red colour) I.e oxygenated blood

The next step

pulmonary veins is the means whereby the red blood cell go to the left atria from the pulmonary circulation through the aortic valve

to mitral valve then to the aorta and systemic circulation

Therefore

oxygen is replaced by carbon dioxide during systemic circulation indicating a end to cellular respiration

Lastly

It's transported back to the right atrium of the heart completing the cardiac cycle.
