If blood is splashed in the eye or any mucous membrane, flush the affected area with running water for at least 15 minutes.

Have the person promptly rinse their eye(s) under running water, a warm shower, or a clean water container. Face of the individual should be held with the injured eye down and to the side. A high-pressure water stream should never be directed at the eye or eyes.

Use warm water to flush for 15 to 30 minutes.

<h3>What are the risks of infection from blood?</h3>

The likelihood of contracting an infection increases if you break or pierce your skin while coming into contact with contaminated blood. For instance, if you pierce your skin with a sharp tool that has contaminated blood on it, like a used needle.

If blood only comes into touch with your eyes, mouth, nose, or already broken skin, the danger of contracting an infection from it is reduced. For instance, if someone spits in your face, their saliva may contain blood and could end up in your mouth, nose, or eyes.

Additionally, infectious saliva may enter an already open wound, graze, or scratch. If infected, there is relatively little danger of infection. If infected blood comes into contact with intact skin, the chance of infection is quite low.

What is Mucus Membrane ?

Organ mucosa is made up of lamina propria, a loose connective tissue layer underneath, and one or more layers of epithelial cells that create mucus. Different organs secrete different types of cells and mucus, and each kind might change along a particular route.

What to do after an exposure to sharps or body fluids?

Wash the area with soap and water after being exposed by a needlestick or cut.

Inform your supervisor or the person in charge of the exposure as soon as possible.

There will be a policy at your place of employment describing what to do if you are exposed.

How does a mutation in the DNA affect the way proteins are made?

Vikentia [17]

Explanation:

B.) A mutation in the DNA results in a change in the mRNA and, ultimately, to a different protein structure.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells.

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:

somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.

Nucleic acids are comprised of smaller units called nucleotides and function as storage for the body’s genetic information. These monomers include ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They exist solely to encode and carry out protein synthesis.

The message on DNA, called genes is copied by RNA polymerase, to form mRNA complementary sequence to that of the DNA strand in transcription. These are then translated into proteins in ribosomes. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

They are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles, which may confer adaptations that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage.

<em>e.g. sickle cell anemia, a disease caused by a mutation, confers protection against the disease malaria.</em>
