What is loss of lens elasticity called?
Presbyopia
Loss of skin elasticity is a clinical sign of?
dehydration
Which of the following changes will accompany the loss of lung elasticity associated with aging?
Increase in residual volume
How does elasticity of demand influence the deadweight loss?
The elasticity of demand significantly affects the deadweight loss associated with market inefficiencies, such as taxes or price controls. When demand is elastic, a small change in price leads to a large change in quantity demanded, resulting in a greater deadweight loss because consumers are more responsive to price changes. Conversely, when demand is inelastic, consumers are less sensitive to price changes, leading to a smaller deadweight loss as the quantity demanded remains relatively stable despite price fluctuations. Ultimately, the greater the elasticity of demand, the larger the potential deadweight loss in a market distortion.
Loss of elasticity and rupture of alveolar walls are typical problems associated with?
EMPHYSEMA
What do you call the expansion and contraction of the arterial walls that can be felt in all the arteries near the surface of the skin?
The expansion and contraction of the arterial walls is the pulse.
Strength of arterial and capillary walls?
The arterial and capillary walls are incredibly strong. This is true otherwise you would be bleeding just by tapping yourself.
What is it called when arteries become thick and lose elasticity?
Over the course of time, the arterial walls are apt to lose elasticity, which limits the amount of blood that can surge through them and hence limits the supply of oxygen to the heart. This condition is known as arteriosclerosis.
Plaque on the arterial walls is characteristic of?
atherosclerosis.
What is the Abnormal Harding Of The Walls Of An Artery Or Arteries?
Abnormal hardening of the walls of an artery or arteries is known as arteriosclerosis. This condition involves the thickening and loss of elasticity in arterial walls, often due to the accumulation of fatty deposits, calcium, and other substances. It can lead to reduced blood flow, increased blood pressure, and a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes. Various factors, such as high cholesterol, hypertension, and smoking, can contribute to its development.
Compare the strength of arterial walls and capillary walls?
arterial walls has smooth muscle and elastic fibers (strong and flexible) and capillaries are made up of a single layer of endothelial cells (thin).
What is the stretching of the arterial walls called?
The stretching of the arterial walls is called arterial dilation or vasodilation. This process occurs when the smooth muscle in the arterial walls relaxes, allowing the blood vessels to widen and increase blood flow. It is a crucial mechanism for regulating blood pressure and ensuring adequate perfusion to various tissues in the body. Factors such as increased blood flow, hormonal signals, and certain medications can trigger arterial dilation.
What is the effect of the elasticity of the arterie on arterial blood?
The elasticity enables the arteries to change their diameter. Smaller means more pressure, larger means lower pressure.
Beat of the heart as felt through the arterial walls?
Pulse
What are the Arterial walls?

When walls of alveoli deteriorate and lose their elasticity?
Emphysema.
