Since the child is not yet at the legal age to make the decision in terms of medical conditions and treatment, it is only legal that the one responsible for the decision is the legal guardian of the child such as the parents. If the parents wants to continue the treatment, then the nurse should follow the parents.

G protein‑coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are two basic receptor types by which cells transduce s
weqwewe [10]
<h2>GPCRs and RTKs</h2>

Explanation:

1) Phosphorylation of receptor can terminate signal or desensitize receptor: GPCRs because when signal persists a protein kinase receptor is activated,this further catalyse the phosphorylation of several serine residue at cytosolic phase of 7 transmembrane

Phosphorylated transmembrane recognized by arrestin protein blocks interaction between trimeric G protein and receptor thus blocks signal transduction

2) Autophosphorylation of receptor can initiate signal: RTKs because receptor dimerization activates intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity by which they phosphorylate its own tyrosine residue on cytosolic phase

3) Structure contains seven transmembrane helices: GPCRs because it consists of single polypeptide and spans the membrane 7 times hence called 7 transmembrane;it recognizes external signal and activates trimeric G protein

4) Ligand binding induces conformational change in receptor: RTKs because normally RTK exist in monomeric form in absence of any ligand molecule but when any ligand molecule binds receptor starts to dimerize

5) Receptor activation causes phosphorylation of its cytosolic subunits: RTKs because when receptor gets activates the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity by which they phosphorylate its cytosolic subunits

6) An example is the insulin receptor: Insulin receptor is present on plasma membrane and belongs to RTK family and always exist in dimeric form

7) Transports some ligands through the membrane: Neither GPCR nor RTK;ligand gets transported through the membrane through ligand gated channel

8) An example is the epinephrine receptor: Epinephrine is an endocrine  hormone produced by adrenal glands in stress condition and prepare body for fight and flight;Epinephrine uses GPCR signalling pathway by four different types of membrane receptors in different tissues

9) Activate heterotrimeric G proteins directly: Transmembrane protein of GPCR recognizes the external signal and activates G protein,activated G protein binds with effector enzyme and activate it which further produce or destroy secondary messenger that carry message from cell surface to cell interior

Humans contribute to many changes of areas such as beaches, bays, wetlands, the sea floor, and coral reefs. How does the deliber
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
In many regions, wetlands have been filled in so as to be able to use the land for farming. Wetlands are vital for reducing the intensity of floods, as they tend to hold back some of the water. Without wetlands, flood will tend to wash increased sediment and pollutants into the ocean, which can have a detrimental effect on marine life. Coastal developments can also have a negative effect on marine life. The removal or moving of beach sand is in particular damaging to intertidal organisms that depend on specific coastal environments, and rocky shores can be smothered by sand, whereas sand environments can change into bare rocky environments. Impounding of rivers and reduced river flow can result in estuaries becoming closed. Many marine organisms, such as fish, depend on estuaries as nursery areas where they lay their eggs. Reduced opening of estuaries means that many fish species cannot reproduce. Built harbours result in changed currents and alteration of the sea floor, which also disrupts marine ecosystems.

Match the following.1. Sudden, transient disturbances of brain function marked by 2. Loss of muscle strength; breakdown of acety
STatiana [176]

Answer:

.1. Sudden, transient disturbances of brain function marked by = a) seizures

2. Loss of muscle strength; breakdown of acetylcholine, a = b) neurotransmitter

3. Degeneration of nerves in the brain leading to tremors, shuffling gait, and muscle (mask-like facial expression); dopamine is deficient in the = c) brain

4. Deterioration of mental capacity (dementia) beginning in middle age; cerebral cortex atrophy, microscopic = d) neurofibrillary tangles

5. Unilateral facial = e) paralysis.

Explanation:

1. Epilepsy: Epilepsy is a disease that is characterized by sudden, transient disturbances of brain function which includes seizures. Epilepsy could be caused by genetic reasons or a damage or injury to the brain. The condition of epilepsy can not be cured but it can be effectively managed. Symptoms of epilepsy includes: Headaches, foaming at the mouth, disorientation e.t.c

2. Myasthenia gravis: This is a disease is occurs due to the breakdown of a neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine. This results in the loss of strength in the muscles of the body. This disease can only be managed through the usage of drugs and therapy, it cannot be cured.

3. Parkinsons disease: This is a neurological diseases that involves the

degeneration of nerves in the brain leading to tremors, shuffling gait, & muscle stiffness (mask-like facial expression), tiredness e.t.c. Parkinson's disease can only be managed effectively through the use of medications and therapy, it cannot be cured.

4. Alzheimer's disease: This is a disease that involves the progressive deterioration of mental capacity (dementia) beginning in middle age and cerebral cortex atrophy. Alzheimer's disease leads to the formation of microscopic neurofibrillary tangles. There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease for now but it can be managed using cognition enhancing drugs as well as effective therapy.

5. Bell palsy : It can also be referred to as unilateral facial paralysis. It is a disease whereby one side of the face is paralysed and weakened. Bell palsy causes the side of the face to fall or become droopy. Bell palsy can be managed through the usage of drugs, and therapy.
