~Contractures: a shortening of the muscle. ~Stiffness and pain of the joint: collagen tissue ankyloses -> as bone demineralizes, excess Ca becomes deposited in the joint. Effects on Cardiovascular System (1 of 6) ~Tachycardia (less blood flow to the coronary arteries) ~Increased used of Valsalva maneuver (increases pressure in veins of the thorax) ~Orthostatic hypertension (blood pooling of the blood in lower extremities) ~Venous dilation (blood pooling results in damage to the valves in the lower extremities)
A river delta is a landform that forms from deposition of sediment carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or standing water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot transport away the supplied sediment. Despite a popular legend, this use of the word delta was not coined by Herodotus.
A delta is a feature of deposition, located at the mouth of a river as it enters a sea or lake. Deposition occurs as the velocity and sediment-carrying capacity of the river decrease on entering the lake or sea, and bedload and suspended material are dumped.
