Answer:

It is important to learn the prefixes and suffixes because it not only helps in improving the reading but it can also help to understand the term itself

In medical field, if u just learn the prefixes and suffixes and their meaning (because they are either Greek or Latin words), you don't need to memorize all the names of diseases and other terminology because you understand the components. For example 1 prefix or suffix can be used in many other places :

The suffix "genesis" is a Greek word, meaning to produce something. It can be used in many terms

  • Osteogenesis
  • Gametogensis
  • Pathogensis

In all  these words, we know something is being produced, even if we don't know the word, it gives us a hint.!

Itll be smarter to know the affixes instead because then you can infer what the meaning is instead of having to memorize words

Which treatment is WRONG when there is severe toxicity of digoxin?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. give furosemide.

Explanation:

Digoxin is a drug that uses in the cardiovascular condition. It inhibits the Na-K ATPase enzyme, which functions to maintain the intracellular environment by regulating the entry and exit of sodium and potassium.  

Digoxin toxicity may occur due to the low level of potassium (inside the cell)due to the inhibitaion of the sodium-potassium pump.  Furosemide is a diuretic drug that decreases salt concentration (such as ions) in the body by increasing urine output. and causes a low level of potassium in the body

Thus, furosemide increases digoxin toxicity as during low levels of potassium, digoxin can easily bind with the sodium-potassium pump and shows severe effects.

Steroid hormones
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

A) bind to receptors in the nucleus of their target cells.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol and are lipids, therefore they cannot be transported in the blood dissolved in the plasma. They are associated with transport proteins to travel in blood.

Because they are lipids, they can diffuse through cell membranes, and once inside the target cell they bind to receptors in the cytoplasm or the nucleus and alter gene expression.
