Explanation:
Answer:
Epinephrine binds to receptors on some smooth muscles (ex: around arterioles) → Ca++ released from ER → intracellular Ca++ up → stimulates contraction. c. Epinephrine binds to receptors on some smooth muscles (ex: around bronchioles) → phosphorylates protein needed for response to Ca++, preventing response.
Answer:
The most common myths are:
- C0vid2019 vaccines cause autism
- C0vid2019 vaccines may modify your DNA
- C0vid2019 vaccines are unsafe
Explanation:
The most common myths associated with C0vid2019 vaccines are:
1- C0vid2019 vaccines may cause autism: In 1998, Andrew Wakefield and colleagues published a controversial study in the Lancet where they suggested that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine may cause autism in some children. However, it has been showed that this study was based on erroneous statements and therefore this publication was retracted.
2- C0vid2019 vaccine may modify your DNA: it has been suggested that vaccines based on viral vectors (e.g. adenoviruses) and mRNA vaccines may modify the DNA of cells. This statement is false because these technologies cannot alter the DNA sequence. These vaccines are based on the production of an mRNA sequence that is translated into a viral protein (spike protein) which triggers an immune response
- C0vid2019 vaccines are unsafe: some people believe that C0vid2019 vaccines are unsafe because they were developed quickly. However, this statement is false because all vaccines (including C0vid2019 vaccines) need to follow rigorous safety standards to be approved by governmental agencies (i.e., they approved all clinical trials).
Answer:
Whole brain death occurs when the BRAINSTEM ceases to function.
Explanation:
In the US, whole brain death = legal death. Most people consider that a person is brain dead when the cerebrum, or the higher brain, is dead because the person is not able to think or have control over his/her body, but legally you are brain dead only when the brainstem ceases to function. The brainstem is responsible for keeping you alive and performing the most basic bodily functions like breathing and keeping your heart beating. But once it fails, you are legally dead. Even if your body could still survive using a ventilator and other devices, your brain has ceased to work and you wouldn't be able to survive if you were unplugged.
