What are there different types of surtures?

Some of the different suture materials used include polyglycolic acid, catgut, polylactic acid, polydioxanone, caprolactone, etc. Also called resorbable, absorbable sutures are made of polymers.

The ideal suture material is sterile, easy to handle, strong (along all of its length), resistant to infection and cheap. It also has to behave in the way we want it to, in a consistent manner. As you might imagine, it is extremely difficult to manufacture the ‘perfect’ suture, which is why there is a wide variety of materials available which offer unique characteristics.

When we use a suture material in the human body we are implanting a foreign tissue into a host. It follows on, therefore, that a tissue reaction within the host should be expected, and can be either an advantage or a disadvantage.

The correct answer is B ) movement of carbon dioxide out of the blood

If carbon dioxide can't go out, then you can suffer in many ways because there is less place for oxygen in your body and the blood gets polluted. This of course is just explained in plain talk, the real processes are far more complex.

Is it true that a neuron transfers information in the form of an electrical impulse?
IgorLugansk [536]
True. A neuron is nerve cell. It is considered the functional unit of the nervous system and it carries electrical impulses to the appropriate part of the nervous system or interprets the impulse and allows a response. The electrical impulse or message is carried through the fibrous extensions of the neuron called dendrites to the cell body. It passes through the cell body via the axon and finally to the end brush , a collection of fibers that extend off the axon. The electrical impulse then triggers a release of chemicals which permit the impulse to jump through the synapse, the space between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next neuron.
