The tracing of uterine activity measured with a solid-tipped intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) depicts no contractions. However, you are palpating contractions that are strong in intensity with a frequency of every 3 minutes and a duration of 60 seconds. A possible cause for this finding is (select an answer): The connections to the system are not connected.

An IUPC counts the number, length, and force of contractions. During palpations peaks of strong intensity is recored.As in this case IUPC seems to be not connected as its near impossible to get no contractions when palpation are high.

And one unit is the amount of pressure required to raise a mercury column by one millimetre. The intensity of the contraction is assessed from the baseline (when the uterus is relaxed) to the rise of the contraction and is recorded in units. According to studies, after spontaneous labour, 200 units of contractions per 10 minutes are typically sufficient for vaginal birth.

Finger [1]

The right answer is DNA is located in the nucleus.

The genome is the whole genetic material of an organism. It contains both the coding sequences, i.e. those that encode proteins, and the non-coding sequences. In most organisms, the genome is the DNA in the cells. However, in some viruses called retroviruses (eg HIV), the genetic material is RNA.

saw5 [17]

The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier proteins in the blood.  In other words, they are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane.  They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.
