Ganezh [65]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Otitis media is generally caused by dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, which can be due to Pharyngitis.

Explanation:

The otitis media is an infection or inflammation of the middle ear and is mostly caused by the inflammation of the mucous membranes in the nasopharynx leading to dysfunction of the Eustachian tube. This can be caused due to a upper respiratory tract viral infection or streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat) or due to some allergy.

Pharyngitis or sore throat is a type of inflammation caused by upper respiratory tract viral infection.

Therefore, Otitis media can be caused by Pharyngitis and thus it is associated with it.

The ECGs QRS complex is the stimulus for atrial diastole.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Electrocardiogram or ECG is the recording and representation of the electrical changes that are taking place during the cardiac cycle.

The QRS complex is preceded by the P wave or atrial systole or atrial depolarization after which the electrical signals are passed on to the AV node.  

As soon as the AV node passes the electrical signals to bundle of His, it is observed in as the QRS interval which represents the atrial diastole and the onset of ventricular depolarization.

Thus, option-true is the correct answer.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The answer to the question: Electrical impulses or action potentials (AP) cannot propagate across a synaptic cleft. Instead, neurotransmitters are used to communicate at the synapse, and re-restablish the AP in the post-synaptic cell, would be, true.

Explanation:

Essentially, although the CNS, PNS and ANS (Central Nervous System, Peripheral Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System) are electrical systems, that use the electricity generated through action potentials, that in turn, are created by the exchange of electrically charged ions from within and without the neuronal cells, these electrical impulses do not pass the pre-synaptic, and post-synaptic cleft. Instead, once an AP has reached the terminal end of the pre-synaptic neuron, neurotransmitters are released by this one, into the cleft, which are then taken up by the receptors present in the post-synaptic neuron. Depending on the type of transmitter released, there will be an inhibitory or excitatory effect. Then, with the transmitter attached, the post-synaptic neuron will depolarize and a new AP will be generated in the post-synaptic neuron, which will carry on. Messages, thus are transmitted that way between neurons, and also, between the nervous system and the organs they influence.

Allushta [10]

Answer: (A) Hyperal dosteronism

Explanation:

In the case of hyperaldosteronism the levels of secretion of aldosterone increases. This can become responsible for alkolosis and hyperkalemia. High blood pressure, low levels of potassium, headache, muscle weakness, numbness and feeling tired are the symptoms of the hyper dosteronism. Also the increase in the content of sodium and decrease in levels of magnesium causes polyuria and polydipsia without causing polyphagia.
