Answer:

Explanation:

The amount of biomass that is produced in an area during a given time is referred to as primary production/productivity.

<h3>What is biomass?</h3>
  • Renewable organic material obtained from plant and animal sources if referred to as biomass.
  • Primary productivity is the production of organic compounds through the process of photosynthesis, with the help of solar energy.
  • Primary productivity is measured as biomass produced per unit area over a give time period
  • It is usually expressed either in weight or energy.
  • There are two ways to express primary productivity:

a) Gross Primary Productivity(GPP): Takes into account the total energy produced in the ecosystem.

b) Net primary Productivity(NPP): Takes into account, solely the energy used by the producer for respiration.

What are the limitations of the dissecting microscope?
Gennadij [26K]
Stereomicroscopes is that they have a much lower magnification limit than other microscopes, such as the compound microscope, for instance. The stereomicroscope can magnify an image 100-150 times, while normal compound microscopes can magnify an image 1000-1500 times. This can be a disadvantage of stereomicroscopes, because not as much detail of the image is seen.

A 26-year-old business executive complained of a dull pain (heartburn) behind the sternum. The pain was postprandial (occurred a
victus00 [196]

Answer:

1) Hiatal hernia is the disorder of this 26 year old business executive. Hiatal hernia occurs when upper part of stomach pushes through an opening in the diaphragm, and up into the chest. THis opening is called a esophageal hiatus or diaphragmatic hiatus. It is basically a protrusion of the upper part of stomach into the chest through a tear on the chest through a tear or weakness in the diaphragm. The patient presents with :

  • Chest pain
  • Severe hurtburn
  • Abdominal pain
  • Frequent burping
  • Difficulty in swallowing
  • Throat soreness
  • Belching
  • Nausea

2) Adequate lower esophageal pressure at the lower esophageal sphincter normally prevent gastric reflux into the esophagus when lying down or bending over.

3) As M3 receptors (parasympathetic) are distributed at the lower esophageal sphincter, cholinergic agonist activates these receptors and increases contraction thus rsulting in a decrease in contraction and preventing Gastroesophageal reflux. Similarly the anticholinergic are avoided because they will relax the LES and thus GERD will increase.

4) H2 antagonists are recommended because they decrease the acid secretion especially at night by blocking H2 receptors.

5) Elevation of the head of the bed recommended in order to encourage the gravitational flows of the contents in stomach toward the pyloric end.

6) Normal Stomach pH = 3-5

   Normal esophageal pH = 6-7

   pH at Lower esophagus  in gastroesophageal patient = 3-5

   pH of stomach in patient of GERD = 3-5 (same as that in normal)
