Some older adults are unable to meet nutrient needs because of <u>a decrease in appetite </u>and may need supplements of <u>vitamins </u>and <u>calcium</u>.

Nutrition is important to live a healthy life. Eating healthy nutritious food gives proper growth and development to the body and brain. With aging the proper functioning of the body declines due to deficiency of nutrients. This decrease in nutrition in the old adult is due to less appetite. This results in diseases like weaker bones, in females osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, etc.   To meet all their nutrition old adults require intake of supplements having vitamin D, vitamin B12, and calcium for healthy bones.

A Typical Human Body Contains About 3.0 Grams Of Potassium Per Kilogram Of Body Mass. 1. ... 1. How much Potassium-40 is present
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Given

Per Kg of body mass, there is 3 gram of potassium

And abundance of three isotopes are as follows

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Have abundances respectively as 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%.

1) A body weighing 80 Kg will have 240 grams of potassium. And the amount of Potassium-40 will be 0.012% of 240 gram

= 240*0.012/100 = 0.0288 gram.

2) Dose in (Gy) = (energy absorbed)/(mass of the body) = ( 1.1*106*1.6*10-19)/(80) = 22*10-10 J/kg

Dose (in siverts) = RBE*Dose(in Gy) = 1.2*22*10-10 = 26.4*10-10

La OMS (Organización Mundial de la Salud) definió a la salud como "el estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y social, y no
seropon [69]

Answer:

La definición de salud de la OMS establece que la salud no es solo la ausencia de enfermedad sino que también es estar bien mentalmente, físicamente y socialmente. Esta definición no abarca solo curar a una persona cuando esté enferma, también habla sobre la prevención de la enfermedad manteniendo una vida equilibrada en lo que concierne a lo físico, mental y social.

La definición de salud de la OPS es mucho más estrecha. Esta solo incluye la adaptación de la persona a su medio, lo cual si lo comparamos con la definición de la OMS este concepto podría entrar dentro del bienestar físico, mental y social. Podemos ver que no se refiere específicamente a la enfermedad y que la ausencia de esta sería por una adaptación exitosa de la persona. A su vez la adaptación es una forma de prevenir la ausencia de salud según la definición de la OPS.

Explanation:

La Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud. son dos entidades que se especializan en la salud a nivel internacional. La OPS actualmente forma parte de la OMS ya que es una oficina para la región americana de la OMS. Estas dos organizaciones empezaron por separado y tienen definiciones de salud diferentes pero podemos ver que ambas trabajan para prevenir y curar enfermedades.

On her first anatomy and physiology exam, Heather defined homeostasis as "the condition in which the body approaches room temper
GaryK [48]

Answer:

I do not agree with Heather’s definition of homeostasis because, by definition, homeostasis is defined as the ability of a body to create comfortable conditions by being at equilibrium or stabilizing itself internally whenever there are changes externally/outside the body. With regard to homeostasis, the room temperature of the internal part of the body, as with many other things in the body, is dynamic and does not stay at one place when external conditions change—it changes in order to maintain balance or equilibrium; hence, I do not agree with Heather’s definition of homeostasis.
