Which form of death has occurred in circumstances where rescue is still possible, even though there is no evidence of brain func

tion, the heart has stopped, and breathing has stopped
Biology
1 answer:
Zinaida [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer is Clinical Death.

Explanation:

The form of death that occurs when the heart stops beating and there is no breathing but where rescue is still possible is "Clinical Death".

There is also "Brain Death" where all brain functions stop and there is no reversing it.

Lastly there is "Biological Death" where the organs stop working and deteriorate.

I hope this answer helps.

Mutations can occur at higher rates in
Grace [21]

Mutations can occur at higher rates in viruses.

Explanation:

The mutation rate of an organism refers to the rate or average number of errors which are formed in the genome of the organism’s progeny per base per replication cycle.

Accordingly the Mutations of viruses are the highest per base pair per generation mutation. Viruses can mutate more than a million times than the host’s body due to their virulence factor, evolution ability, and presence of a variety of traits.  

Of the DNA and RNA viruses, the RNA viruses like the Retroviruses having a much higher rate, for example, the HIV virus which is a Retrovirus has high mutation rate.

Ugo [173]
In  the   temperate  latitude,surface  winds  tend  to  blow   clockwise

  This   surface  wind   blow   clockwise  outward  around  an  area   of  surface   high  pressure.  The  middle  latitude  are  between   23  degree  north  and  66  degree  north  and   between  23      south  and   66  degree  south   latitude.   The  middle    latitude  can  also  be  on  the   earth  temperate   zone  .

Why is there more creatine kinase in dmd muscles compared to average muscles
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Almost everyone with a neuromuscular disorder has had, or will have, a creatine kinase test. But what exactly is creatine kinase (CK), and why are its levels measured in neuromuscular diseases?

CK, also known as phosphocreatine kinase, or CPK, is a type of protein called an enzyme. It catalyzes, or "encourages," a biochemical reaction to occur. The normal function of CK in our cells is to add a phosphate group to creatine, turning it into the high-energy molecule phosphocreatine. Phosphocreatine is burned as a quick source of energy by our cells.

However, the normal function of CK isn't as relevant, in this case, as what happens to CK when muscle is damaged. During the process of muscle degeneration, muscle cells break open and their contents find their way into the bloodstream. Because most of the CK in the body normally exists in muscle, a rise in the amount of CK in the blood indicates that muscle damage has occurred, or is occurring.

To measure CK levels, a blood sample is taken and separated into fractions that contain cells and a fraction that doesn't — the serum. The amount of CK in the serum is reported in units (U) of enzyme activity per liter (L) of serum. In a healthy adult, the serum CK level varies with a number of factors (gender, race and activity), but normal range is 22 to 198 U/L (units per liter).

Higher amounts of serum CK can indicate muscle damage due to chronic disease or acute muscle injury. For this reason, if you're scheduled to have blood drawn for a CK test to diagnose a potential muscle disorder, you should limit your exercise to normal activities before the test.

What is included in the body’s nonspecific defense against invading pathogens?
Setler [38]

The body's nonspecific defiance against invading pathogens is known as innate immunity and includes the following:

mechanical barriers and surface secretions                                             

1. The intact skin and mucous membranes of the body. These provide a high degree of protection against pathogens.

2. The sebaceous secretions and sweat of the skin contain bactericidal and fungicidal fatty acids that can kill bacteria and fungi.

3. Normal bacterial flora of the skin may produce various antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocines and acids.

Humoral defence mechanisms

1. Lysozyme. This is an enzyme found in most tissue fluids apart from cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and sweat. It can kill bacteria.

2. Interferon. Inhibits viruses from replicating

3. Complement. This is a heat labile serum that can destroy gram-negative bacteria.
