a.
To determine: The increase, decrease or no change in the work required for breathing with respect to compliance.
Introduction: The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of gases between the blood and the external environment. The human body uses the respiratory system to take in and absorb oxygen and expel out carbon dioxide. The respiratory system is divided into various structures that function to accomplish the gaseous exchange.
b.
To determine: The increase, decrease or no change in the ease with which lungs inflate with respect to compliance.
Introduction: Trachea is known as the windpipe and it is made of cartilages that are present in a ring-like fashion. It allows the passage of air and is the part of the respiratory system in all the organisms that breathe air through lungs
c.
To determine: The increase, decrease or no change in the lung elastance with respect to compliance.
Introduction: The gaseous exchange takes place in the respiratory system. The air inspired is transported to the alveoli in the lungs where the exchange of gases takes place. The exchange of the gases depends on the partial pressure of the gases
d.
To determine: The increase, decrease or no change in the airway resistance with respect to compliance.
Introduction: Asthma is the condition of the respiratory system where the airways or the respiratory passage of the individual becomes inflamed. This causes the lumen of the airway to narrow and lead to difficulty in breathing and production of extra mucus. It is difficult to completely cure the condition, but it can be managed using medications.

If you add heterotrophic respiration and autotrophic respiration together and then subtract that value from gross primary productivity, then you have a more refined estimate of ecosystem carbon storage than NEE. Differential heating due to the earth's tilt generates the global wind AND oceanic circulation patternsarrow_forward
