Biology

romanna [79]3 years ago

Answer & explanation:

Distilled water <u>cannot</u> be inserted into the bloodstream as it is a pure water (H₂O) compound without the addition of any minerals or salt in its composition.

If distilled water is injected into a patient, it may cause changes in the blood, turning the enviroment hypotonic, facilitating the passage of water and removing nutrients, salts and ions, as well as disrupting red blood cells  (hemolysis) due to excess water, or even modify the pH of the blood, leading to several complications.

This created a hypotonic environemnt in the patient's bloodstream. The cells were diffused in water until it burst open. The pateints blood cells swelled and as a result burst with water due to the high osmotic pressure caused by the distilled water.Jan 8, 2016

Where do prions come from?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

There are prion-like particles in the brain normally, and when these become abnormal they can cause disease. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Prions are proteins which can trigger normal proteins to fold abnormally, and they are present in the brain. They are causing many types of neurodegenerative diseases in both humans and animals. Which are known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

Prions can enter the brain with the help of infection, also can arise from the gene mutation that encodes the proteins, and sometimes this affects humans by infected meat.

If a person infected from prion disease, it affects central nervous system tissues like brain, eye tissues and spinal cord.

Have afib and now have been diagnosed with left bundle branch block no cardiac artery disease
GrogVix [38]
Well... I get the felling I know what question you are trying to ask. Atrial Fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia that interferes with the pumping of blood through the Atrium of the heart. A bundle branch block is an interference of the electrical system through the heart. Non of these are particularly that dangerousso don't worry about dying... Though have someone close by in case you go into Cardiac Arrest.

If your worried about getting a heart attack, that is a blood flow problem which can result from CAD. Don't worry though cause the two other condition do not particularly influence the other.

CAD is circulatory, A fib and branch block are electrical.
