Airway blockage or limitation is a hallmark of the group of chronic, irreversible respiratory disorders known as a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is not treatable or contagious. Reduced pulmonary airflow brought on by elevated inflammation characterises asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Two primary phenotypes have been established based on clinical, pathological, and radiological characteristics:

Emphysema type A and type B patients are referred to as "pink puffers" and "blue-bloaters," respectively (chronic bronchitis)

Dyspnea is the most common symptom in Type A patients, while cough and hypersecretion are mild. The main causes of the decreased diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and frequently enlarged lung volumes in Type A patients include non-homogeneous ventilation and ventilation-perfusion mismatch. Type A patients also seldom have hypercapnia or recurrent heart failure.

Mucous hypersecretion is the predominant symptom of type B patients, although dyspnea is mild. While lung capacities are not expanded and carbon monoxide diffusing ability is often conserved, type B patients frequently exhibit hypercapnia, hypoxia, secondary pulmonary hypertension, and cardiovascular comorbidities.

Certain biological determinants of health may increase a population’s risk of environmentally caused health problems.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: b. The elderly have a higher risk from toxic pesticides because they are less able to eliminate environmental toxins.

Explanation:

The older adults are expected to have health problems after a pesticide exposure. This is because of the fact that their metabolism is slow and the liver and kidneys are not able to remove the pesticides from the body. The liver and kidney may get injured during the exposure of the high doses of pesticides.

The longer a pesticide stay in the body of an old person this may result in more severe injury. As the body is slow in metabolism that is the conversion of the chemicals in the pesticides into less toxic metabolites. Thus the elderly people will not be able to eliminate the toxin from the body. The toxin will damage the vital organs and can lead to death.

Inhibin is thought to be released in response to developing sperm and is thought to:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

A. Inhibit FSH secretion.

Explanation:

Inhibin is a hormone secreted by the granulosa cells in the ovaries of women and the Sertolli cells in men.  The main function of inhibin, as they name says, is to inhibit the secretion of FSH by the anterior pituitary gland. Inhibin is also produced by the Sertolli cells in the testes of men, and it is released in the blood when the sperm count is too high. FSH causes the Sertoli cells of the testes to begin the process of spermatogenesis in the testes. Therefore, releasing inhibin would cause a negative feedback and stop the production of sperm.

An element has a mass of 207 and 125 neutrons in its nucleus. How many protons & electrons does it have & where are they
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The number of protons can be calculated by subtracting 207 with 125

Therefore, proton no. : 207 - 125 = 32

Proton number and electron number is always equivalent, so there are 32 electrons in the electron shells

Protons and neutrons are always located in the nucleus of an atom, and electrons are located in the electron shells which always move rapidly around the atom

The element which is referred to is Lead(Pb)
