I believe that in developed nations, the nutrients that are most lacking in a child's diet are the; calcium, iron and zinc. Zinc is needed for the activity of more than 100 different enzymes in the body and plays a role in the immune function. It aids in the maintenance of healthy immune function in kids and may reduce the frequency of mild upper respiratory tract infections. Calcium keeps the bones healthy and teeth thus supporting the skeletal structure and function. Iron is an important component of hemoglobin.

Should you always begin observation of specimens with oil immersion lens?
Otrada [13]

You are not supposed to begin the observation of specimens with oil immersion lens.

The microscope is an instrument used in science laboratories to study specimen that cannot be seen with the naked eyes.

The specimen for viewing through a microscope are usually prepared as thin slices or sections.

Among the various parts of the microscope are the x10, x40, and x 100 objective lens.

The x100 objective lens is known as the oil immersion lens because oil is added while using the lens to reduce the amount of light refraction thereby  allowing more light to pass through the narrow diameter of the high power objective lens.

The x10 objective which is of lower power, should be used to focus the specimen while the higher power objective which is the x100 oil immersion used for closer observation.

Therefore, you are not supposed to begin the observation of specimens with oil immersion lens.

Compared to arteries, the velocity of flow of the blood through the capillaries is:______.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: D) much slower

Explanation:

The circulatory system, made up of arteries and veins, is fundamental to maintaining life. Its function is the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all cells, as well as the removal of carbon dioxide and waste products, the maintenance of physiological pH, and the mobility of the elements, proteins, and cells of the immune system. An artery is each of the vessels that carry blood with oxygen from the heart to the capillaries of the body. They arise from a ventricle and their walls are very strong and elastic to resist the pressure that the blood exerts when it is pumped out of the heart.

Capillaries are very small diameter, thin-walled blood vessels connect small arteries (arterioles) to veins, allowing nutrients and oxygen to pass through to tissues.  The main function of the capillaries is the exchange of substances between the light of the capillaries and the cell interstice of the tissues.

When the blood reaches the capillary bed, the speed with which it circulates inside these vessels is very low. This is due to the fact that in a branching system of tubes, the speed decreases proportionally to the increase in the joint section of the branches. Thus, in the aorta, which has a small section, the speed is very high (400 mm/sec), it decreases at the level of the arteries and arterioles and at the capillary level it becomes minimal (0.1 mm/sec). <u>This fact, together with the thinness of the capillary wall, provides the necessary conditions of time and space for the exchange to take place in the most optimal way.</u>
