What are two examples of adaptations that allow for better survival?
Structural and Behavioral
What is the function f Bronchus?
Allow air to pass from trachea to lungs
What is the function of a pig's trachea?
The main function of a pig's trachea is to breathe. It is part of system of passages that allow air into the lungs.
What do the cartilage rings in the trachea allow to happen?
it helps to prevent trachea from collapsing by maintaining definite shape
What organs allow the respiratory system to function?
* Nose* Pharynx* Larynx* Trachea* Bronchi* Lungs
What is the function of the cartilage surrounding the trachea?
they hold the trachea open, otherwise it would be squeezed flat like the esophagus when it is empty. the trachea also has bands of smooth muscle that allow the esophagus to expand into the trachea when swallowing. this is why you cant breathe and swallow at the same time.
Why does a cactus grow in deserts?
The cactus has a number of structural adaptations that allow it to live in the harsh conditions of the desert. Many other plants lack these adaptations and cannot survive in a desert.
Structural adaptations of an alligator?
Alligators have many adaptations that allow them to be some of the fiercest hunters. Their adaptations include teeth, skin, webbed feet, ability to hold their breath, and their eyes.
What is the importance of the rings of cartilage that surround the trachea?
The rings of cartilage that surround the trachea provide structural support, preventing the trachea from collapsing and maintaining an open airway for proper breathing. They also protect the trachea from external compression or pressure.
Do C-shaped cartilage rings maintain the openness of the trachea?
Yes, the C-shaped cartilage rings maintain the openness of the trachea. The rings provide structural support to the trachea, preventing it from collapsing and maintaining its shape. The open ends of the C-shape allow for flexibility during movement, such as swallowing or bending of the neck.
What is the function of elastic fibers in the trachea?
Longitudinal elastic fibers enable the trachea to stretch and descend with the roots of the lungs during inspiration.
Structural adaptations of the viper snake?
Viper snakes have structural adaptations such as heat-sensitive pits near their eyes that help them detect prey, long hollow fangs for injecting venom, and a hinged pair of fangs that fold back when not in use. They also have highly flexible jaws that allow them to swallow large prey whole.
