APOPTOSIS: (CELL SUICIDE) normal cell death

Normal cells do not live for ever. Under certain circumstances cells are programmed to die.
This happens particularly during development, cells that become damaged beyond repair will normally undergo some sort of PROGRAMMED cell death. This is called APOPTOSIS.

CELL ARREST :

Is a induced process. It takes place in G1 phase of cell cycle.
This is carried out experimentally by introducing some INHIBITORS ( see links included).
 In case of many medical disease treatments, for example leukaemia, cancers of various organs such inhibitors are used to arrest the cell cycle at G1 and before G2 phase.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine disorder and a common cause of chronic anovulation. In addition to the clinical manife

Scilla [17]

Answer:

1. Insulin resistance and diabetes

2. Metformin

Explanation:

Metformin can be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome, especially for insulin-resistant women (insulin is a hormone that transports sugar into cells).

People with insulin resistance have high levels of this hormone in their blood and excess circulating insulin can aggravate manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome, and also increase the risk of diabetes.

The main benefits of metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovaries is the normalization of menstrual irregularity and the restoration of ovulatory cycles.

Since most women with polycystic ovary syndrome are insulin resistant, metformin is a good treatment option in some cases.

However, the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome should be individualized for each woman, depending on the symptoms presented and the goal to be achieved with the treatment.

The placement of a catheter into the bladder through a small incision made through the abdominal wall just above the pubic bone

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Nephrostomy

Explanation:

Nephrostomy is a surgical procedure usually performed when there is difficulty for produced urine to leave the kidney and find its way to the urinary bladder. The difficulty happens as a result of blockage around the kidney.

When blockage happens and urine cannot leave the kidney, it results to a damage to the kidney. Hence, those experiencing kidney blockage which could be as a result of kidney stone or ovarian cancer usually undergo nephrostomy.

During nephrostomy, a small incision is made on the patient's skin and the nephrostomy tube or catheter is passed through the skin into the urinary tract. The other end of the tube is connected to a urinary bag.

If twins were born would they both have down syndrome? If so expain

nirvana33 [79]

we estimate that identical twins with Down syndrome occur at the rate of 1 or 2 in a million pregnancies and non-identical twins at the rate of 14/15 in a million. If the likelihood of having a twin or twins with Down syndrome is also linked to a family history of twins, to age or to assisted pregnancies, we presume these factors will play a part in increasing the risk for some individuals.

What happens to most of the mass gained by the plant cell through photosynthesis?

makvit [3.9K]

The conservation of law states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created or destroyed therefor the total amount of mass for the reactant for photosynthesis are 6 carbon dioxides 6 waters and sunlight. The mass of each reactant adds to equal up to the mass of the product. Which are going to be 1 glucose and 6 oxygen. Which will then equal the amounts of each atom on both ends of this equation. This can be confusing at some points due to the energy (sunlight) is the reaction in the chemical equation and not the product or outcome. The energy can be converted from one end to another in photosynthesis. Energy is converted form sunlight into sugar or glucose which the body then breaks down for energy.
