Biology

Vlada [557]2 years ago

Hypocalcemia can result from the following factors:

  • Lack of vitamin D or vitamin D resistance
  • post-surgery, hypoparathyroidism
  • due to autoimmune illness or hereditary causes of hypoparathyroidism
  • Inadequate vitamin D levels are brought on by renal disease or advanced liver disease.
  • Hypoparathyroidism, also known as pseudohypoparathyroidism
  • Parathyroid gland metastatic growth or heavy metal (copper, iron) invasion

Acute hypocalcemia is characterised by neuromuscular irritability. Cardiovascular symptoms of acute hypocalcemia are possible. Chronic hypocalcemia is frequently brought about by insufficient parathyroid hormone or vitamin D levels or by hormone resistance.

The right course of treatment depends on knowing the difference between acute and chronic hypocalcemia and between hypocalcemia with no symptoms and hypocalcemia with severe symptoms.

Answer:

POLLUTANT, SOURCE AND IMPACT

Carbon Monoxide

SOURCE:- carbon monoxide main sources are from our homes, eg; wood stoves and fire place, generators, gas stoves, kerosene heaters, leaking chimneys, tobacco smokes etc

IMPACT:- carbon monoxide can cause organ failure as it reduces the amount of oxygen the hemoglobin been carried in the red blood cells to this organs in our body.

Carbon dioxide

SOURCE:- carbon dioxide can be from both human and natural source. Example of the sources includes; natural source ( ocean release, decomposition and respiration), human activities ( burning of coal, oil and natural gas, cement production etc)

IMPACT:- carbon dioxide causes difficulties in breathing as it displaces oxygen in the air.

It also increase the greenhouse effect (global warming) as more heat energy gets trapped by the atmosphere causing the planet to become warmer.

Sulphur dioxide

SOURCE:- sulphur dioxide mainly occur due to human activities such as fossil fuel combustion at industrial facilities, in ships etc.

IMPACT:- Sulphur oxide has been linked to many health effect and diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. It also causes respiratory problems, asphlegm and asthma attacks, irritation of lungs, throat and nose as well.

Nitrogen oxides

SOURCES:- nitrogen oxides also comes from human activities such as; combustion of fossil fuel, making of nitric acid, refining metals as well as petrols, explosive, food manufacturing etc.

IMPACT:- Nitrogen oxides has also been linked to many respiratory health issues such as bronchitis and wheezing. It causes the lining of the lungs to inflame there by reduce the immunity of the lungs to respiratory diseases.

Methane

SOURCE:- methane can be from either natural or human activities. The natural source includes; food digestion by cattles, decay of organic materials. Human activities such as waste management, rice production, oil and gas production etc.

IMPACT:- Methane is considered a green house gas like carbon dioxide, it contributes to the trapping of heat energy in the atmosphere which causes global warming. It is also linked to serious health issues such cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological problems.

Particulates

SOURCE:- particulates are fine tiny particles of matter found in the air, it might be in solid or liquid form. Example; dust, smoke, fumes etc. This particles can suspended in the air for an extended periods of time.

IMPACT:- exposure to particulates can cause variety of respiratory health problems such as difficulties in breathing, coughing, lungs and heart problem etc.

Answer:

SecondOption - "Mid oceanic ridge"

Explanation:  

<em> Mid-ocean ridges are formed by divergent plate boundaries in the ocean. This is where upwelling magma creates new seabed. A diverging plate boundary occurs when two plates move away from one other. Magma rises from deep beneath the Earth and erupts along these boundaries, forming new crust on the lithosphere. The majority of divergent plate borders are undersea, forming submerged mountain ranges known as oceanic spreading ridges. </em>

Hope this helps! :D

Do you think that there should be a standard when participating medicine and science ?
9966 [12]
Honestly, this is supposed to be your opinion, but I will give you mine. I think there should by far be a quality standard, that they should always provide good quality things. It all just depends on what kind of standard they are talking about or what the question is referring to. If there are experiments going on, there should definitely be a certain standard of safety and ensure that the person would come out alive. I hope that this could help a bit, and I apologize if this was not the type of standard in which you were looking for. If you need further help, you can send a DM my way and I will respond when I get the chance. Have an amazing day!
