Explanation:

Restrictive airway diseases may be caused by interstitial diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis. These diseases are characterized by non-respiratory conditions that secondarily impede pulmonary expansion, such as muscle weakness, pleural diseases, obesity or kyphoscoliosis; and / or those that directly affect lung function, causing long-term hypercapnic respiratory failure.

Restrictive airway diseases refer to a group of thoracic deformities that result in inefficient coupling between the respiratory muscles and the rib cage. In general, disorders are characterized by a restrictive defect and share the potential for long-term hypercapnic respiratory failure.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

the correct answer in apex is tissue development, i know because i just had this question
