False, The femoral artery becomes the popliteal artery at the knee.

<h3>Where does the femoral artery become the popliteal?</h3>

When the superficial femoral artery leaves the adductor canal at the adductor hiatus and travels posteriorly beyond the knee, it enters the popliteal fossa, where the popliteal artery continues the superficial femoral artery's direct journey.

The main blood vessel giving blood to your lower body is the femoral artery. It begins in the back of your upper thigh, close to the groin, and descends to the back of your knee. The femoral artery and its branches are responsible for supplying blood to the lower body. Blood carries nutrition and oxygen to your tissues.

The anterior and posterior tibial arteries are the popliteal artery's two terminal branches, which branch off at the lower border of the popliteus muscle after the popliteal artery passes through the popliteal fossa.

ss7ja [257]

Pulmonary embolism occurring in up to 3 in every 1,000 births is a major cause of death.

One of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs can get blocked, causing a pulmonary embolism. The majority of the time, blood clots from deep leg veins or, rarely, veins in other parts of the body that go to the lungs cause pulmonary embolism (deep vein thrombosis).

Pulmonary embolism, which occurs when blood clots obstruct the flow of blood to the lungs, can be fatal. But the danger of dying is significantly decreased with quick treatment. By taking precautions to avoid leg blood clots, you can lessen your risk of developing pulmonary embolism.

<h3>What are the causes and symptoms of pneumonia?</h3>

Infection that causes swelling and fluid buildup in one or both of the lungs' air sacs.

The air sacs may get clogged with fluid or pus in pneumonia. Anyone can be at risk of dying from the virus, but newborns, kids, and adults over 65 are more vulnerable.

The signs include a cough that produces pus or phlegm, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing.

A variety of pneumonias can be treated with antibiotics. Vaccines helps to prevent some types of pneumonia.

Pneumonia can be brought on by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and SARS-CoV-2 are major causes of viral pneumonia in the United States (the virus that causes COVID-19). Streptococcus pneumoniae is frequently responsible for bacterial pneumonia (pneumococcus).

Thyroid hormones are conceptually very similar to steroid hormones.What does this tell you about the mechanism of action in alte

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Their course of action in altering metabolism is very similar because both of them interact with intracellular receptors (primarily the cytosolic receptors present in cytoplasm of the cell) and translocate into the nucleus for performing their desired goal (likely to synthesize a mRNA which can then be turned into a protein to get a desired action going)
