Answer:

The sternum may suffer a fracture

Explanation:

The sternum is not all solid bone, it has a section of cartilage at the tip as it approaches the abdomen. Therefore it is easy for it to be fractured if pressure is exerted below the line marked by the two nipples, which is a place where it is strong enough to be safely pressed by the heel of the hand.

Qué consecuencias tendría para los consumidores no restituir esas vitaminas en las leches descremadas
sesenic [268]

Answer:

No se producen consecuencias si las vitaminas se toman en el rango normal.

Explicación:

La caída del cabello, el malestar gastrointestinal, la fatiga y el daño leve a los nervios son algunas de las consecuencias que se pueden obtener si se toma demasiado selenio. Las vitaminas son esenciales para la salud porque nuestro cuerpo las necesita para crecer y desarrollarse. Si estas vitaminas se usan en un rango normal, causan un buen efecto en el cuerpo, pero si tomamos demasiadas vitaminas, causa toxicidad y conduce a una serie de enfermedades. Entonces, si la concentración de vitaminas está en un rango normal en la leche desnatada, tiene un buen efecto en nuestra salud, de lo contrario, causa un problema.
