Other than improvements in hygiene, give two reasons for the low death rate from infectious diseases in modern hospitals.

1 answer:

6 0

Low death rate from infectious diseases in modern hospitals are attributable to modern hospitals having isolation facilities, where infectious patients are quarantined, and having better technological equipments used to diagnose and treat infections in its early stages.

Hospitals now have areas that cater to different types of medical conditions. Areas like the intensive care units, labor and birthing rooms, isolated rooms, etc. Unlike hospitals in the early ages where everyone is placed in wards regardless of the extent of their sickness.

Vaccinations are also readily available for everyone which lessens the chances of acquiring infectious diseases and spreading them to unsuspecting people.

Isocitrate + NAD+ -> a-ketoglutarate + CO2 + H2

The amount of ATP produced from one molecule of glucose will decrease because NADH is no longer produced in the isocitrate dehydrogenase reaction. Without generation of this high energy electron carrier there will be less electrons from one molecule of glucose that are transferred to and through the electron transport chain. So there will be less protons (H+ ions) pumped into the intermembrane space. So there will be less of a H+ ion gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane to drive the synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase.

Which regions of the vascular bed is the actual site of gas exchange with surrounding tissue?

devlian [24]

<h2>Capillaries</h2>

Explanation:

Capillaries are thin cells and help to gas exchange with surrounding tissue.
They are little to such an extent that red platelets need to course through them a single record. In the event that all the Capillaries in the human body were arranged in a single record, the line would extend more than 100,000 miles.
Encompassing this layer of cells is something many refer to as the cellar film, a layer of protein encompassing the narrow. Carbon dioxide (from deoxygenated blood) thus spills out of the Capillaries once more into alveoli to be breathed out into the earth.
Hence, the "capillaries" is the right answer.
