In an effort to bring mean arterial pressure back to normal after a hemorrhage, total peripheral resistance increases because the blood flow to most organs decreases. However, blood flow to the brain and heart is maintained because these organs are not greatly influenced by the baroreceptor reflex.
Baroreceptor reflex is one of the body's homeostatic mechanisms that helps to maintain blood pressure at nearly constant levels. They are mechanoreceptors located in the carotid sinus and in the aortic arch. They function to sense pressure changes by responding to change in the tension of the arterial wall.
Answer:
A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.
Explanation:
Rutherford gold foil experiment led to the discovery that every atom has a nucleus, its mass and all the positive charge are concentrated in it and also that most of the atom is mostly empty space.
It was performed in 1911 by Rutherford and his coworkers Ernest Marsden and Hans Geiger. They bombarded fast moving alpha particles on thin sheets of gold foil.
Most of the alpha particles passed through the sheet while few were deflected from their straight path. A small percentage of particles also bounced back from the foil. Since the alpha particles are positive so there must have been something positive inside the atoms that deflected and bounced back the alpha particles. So it led to the conclusion that the center of atom is positively charged.
<u><em>His experiments overturned Thomson's atomic model. His atomic model failed to explain the stability of atom.</em></u>
Animals need shelter and insulation in the Tundra. The animals here tend to have thicker and warmer feathers and fur. Many of them have larger bodies and shorter arms, legs and tails which helps them retain their heat better and prevent heat loss.
Answer:
Salinity is the <em><u>salt concentration</u></em> in water. Oceans salinity and temperature affect density of water, Higher the salinity denser the water and Lower the temperature denser the water.
Explanation:
As we go down in the ocean , temperature goes down and denser the water.
Less dense water will be on top and higher the density will be on bottom. Warmer water will be on top.
Salinity <em> increased</em> in ocean on evaporation of sea water and formation of ice in water. Weathering of rocks , formation of soil also add minerals and salt in ocean.
Melting of snow, ice in sea, addition of river freshwater and precipitation of rain <em>decrease </em>the salinity of ocean.
Answer: KIDNEY (URINARY/EXCRETORY SYSTEM) helps regulate water and electrolyte balance.
Kidney is an important organ of our urinary system that regulates chemical composition of blood, regulates water and electrolyte balance, etc in our body. Kidney is made up of nephron cells that filters water, reabsorbs amino acids, secrete and excrete urine outside the body.
