<span>The primary desired therapeutic effect of mannitol is the reduction of intracranial pressure. This pressure, most likely caused by swelling on the brain, is generally caused by head traumas and can be life threatening. The administration of mannitol reduces this swelling thus decreasing the cranial pressure.</span>
The question is stated incorrectly. The correct question is as follows;
The site of intercellular communication between a neuron and another cell is the.
Answer:
Synapse.
Explanation:
Neurons have dendrites, cell body and axons. Millions of neurons are present in the nervous system. Different types of neuron are sensory neuron, motor neuron and interneuron.
Synapse may be defined as the gap between the two consecutive neurons. The junction between the two neurons that helps in the intercellular communication. The neurotransmitters are diffused directly and transmit information through these synapse.
Thus, the correct answer is synapse.
A radioactive element is an element which is subject to spontaneous degeneration of its nucleus followed by the emission of alpha, beta and gamma particles. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive.
The given phrases that describe radioactive elements are-
They have a consistent number of particles
- the particles are alpha, beta and gamma particles.
They have a half-life that determines their rate of decay.
Explanation for other options:
Not all elements occur in nature. Radioactive decay rates may not be constant as the decay happens when a radioactive substance emits a particle. It is not possible to predict exactly when a given atom of a substance will emit a particular particle. When the radioactive element release energy and particles, it decays.
Answer:
Your digestive system absorbs water and nutrients from the food you eat. Your circulatory system carries oxygen, water, and nutrients to cells throughout your body. Wastes from the cells are eliminated by your respiratory system, your excretory system, and your skin.
