The brain stem which is composed of the Pons, The Medulla, and the Midbrain serve a very vital function... They control the functions that keep you alive; Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Breathing input and output, Blood pressure, as well a vasomotor functions. So taking this into account, an injury to the brain stem is extremely bad, as that can and will most definitely be very lethal.

Answer:

A. Patau Syndrome

Explanation:

Trisomy 13, also called Patau syndrome, is a chromosomal condition associated with severe intellectual disability and physical abnormalities in many parts of the body. Individuals with trisomy 13 often have heart defects, brain or spinal cord abnormalities, very small or poorly developed eyes (microphthalmia), extra fingers or toes, an opening in the lip (a cleft lip) with or without an opening in the roof of the mouth (a cleft palate), and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). Due to the presence of several life-threatening medical problems, many infants with trisomy 13 die within their first days of life.

1. How is an "Addiction" different from a "Habit"?
Amanda [17]
1) a habit is something we do out of convince, for example biting your nails when you’re nervous. we do that witchy a second thought. An addiction is something that we do over and over again causing harm to our lives.
2) some people just have more addictive tendencies than others. sometimes it’s the environment people are in as well Those who grow up around peers who use drugs and alcohol are more likely to begin using themselves. it can also depend on how the drug is consumed, Injecting a drug produces a greater dopamine rush, making a user that much more likely to become dependent on it.
3) Most of us have experienced the homeless and addicted. They stand out. They live public and many people make the mistake of assuming people living with addiction are incapable of holding jobs or having functional families. In truth, most people with addiction are hard-working people who pay their bills, who have families and even stand out as examples of what “success” looks like. We are often people sitting at the desk next to yours at work, in the pew at church, helping you move. Addiction, in many cases, is hidden. The turmoil is internal and unseen.

Describe the following influences on our foods choices and provide an example of each
Alex
Is there more to the question, like multiple choice questions?  Budget can have an influence on food choices.  If someone has a small budget, they may need to buy less expensive, filling foods.  Family can have an influence on food choices.  If someone is surrounded by people who consume healthier foods, and have nutritious choices available, they are more likely to eat better as well.  Then there's advertising.  Too many junk food ads can trigger cravings for the less healthy snacks.  For instance, if someone is watching t.v., and they see a pizza ad, but there is salad in the fridge, they may think "oh, pizza sounds great!" and just order delivery.  It would be easier to have something already made come to your door, vs getting in the kitchen and creating a mess to make ones own salad.
