How does a painkiller work?

Biology
1 answer:
Jlenok [28]3 years ago
4 0

a painkiller once ingested sends a type of sedative through your body which eventually reaches your brain which sends signals to your nervous system causing the irritated nerves to become less and less irritated. the reason they take so long to kick in is because they have to work through your body via the bloodstream

hope this helps :) ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A man with normal vision marries a color-blind woman. Red-green color blindness is an X- linked recessive disorder. They have a
jeyben [28]

Answer: The probability is 100%.

Explanation: The chromosome X is related to gender. A man carries two different chromosomes (XY) and a woman carries two similar chromosomes (XX). The offspring of a couple will inherited:

  • If it is a boy, he inherites the chromosome Y from his father and X from his mother;
  • If it a girl, she inherites X from her father and X from her mother;

In the question, the woman is color-blind, which means she carries the recessive alleles: X^{d}X^{d}

The man, on the other hand, is normal, so his X-linked genotype will be: X^{D}Y.

Now, since they have a daughter, she inherited her double X from each of her parents, which means she inherited one X^{d} from her mother and one X^{D} from her father.

So, the daughter's genotype can only be heterozygotic  X^{D}X^{d} in other words, the probability is 100%.

suppose you found a bone of a mastodon which had 6.25%c14and93.75%n14 how long ago did this animal die​
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

t= 3886.18 years old

Explanation:

Whenever an animal dies de C14 and N14 begin to disintegrate in such a way that the proportion between C14 and C12 decreases, with a semi-disintegration period of 5.730 years, T. To get to know how long it takes an element to disintegrate, we must use this semi-disintegration period, which is the time it takes until the amount of the element is reduced to its half.  

We can find the age of the fossil, t, by using the next formula:

t = - (T x ln (C14))/ ln (2)

t = - (5730 x ln (0.625)/0.693

t= - (-2693.12)/0.693

t= 3886.18

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

First the proprioceptors found in the tissues will capture tissue damage and the presence of a continuity solution in the skin, then these receptors will activate the afferent pathway, which is the pathway of pain, which is sensory.

This stimulus that ascends to the central nervous system activates the "flight" mechanism in the face of pain (it is also known as the withdrawal mechanism).

It is in this way that a stimulation is sent to the alpha motor neuron in the form of an action potential as an efferent pathway to the skeletal muscles of the foot and the damaged leg, so that an automatic and involuntary muscle contraction is generated in a matter of millisemas of second after the damage, so the foot is removed from the damage area.

Explanation:

The withdrawal mechanism is a reflex that the human acquires before pain, that is why it is the muscular contraction is automatic and fast once the pain occurs.

So as a summary: 1 - the proprioceptors of the damaged tissue are activated 2- the signal of tissue damage rises as afferent to the CNS 3- the CNS responds by activating a signal that will be sent by interneuronal connections to the alpha motor neuron 4- the signal arrives as potential of action to the alpha motor neuron that innervates the muscles of the surrounding area to which it is damaged 5 - the muscles contract, generating the withdrawal of the limb.
