Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites and can be spread by direct contact or through vectors. Noninfectious diseases cannot be “caught” from other humans or animals.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

B. Leslie had more dopamine receptors than other participants.

Explanation:

Ritalin (methylphenidate hydrochloride) is a central nervous system stimulant drug used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Ritalin also serves to treat narcolepsy, a sleep disorder that is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, even if the person has slept well at night.

Ritalin increases the activity of certain areas of the brain that are poorly active, promoting increased attention and concentration, and decreasing impulsive behavior. In narcolepsy, Ritalin works by relieving sleep throughout the day. The mechanism of action of Ritalin is the same as that of amphetamines and other stimulants, ie it increases the concentration and reuse of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. For this reason, people with more dopamine receptors in their brain (such as Leslie) when taking ritalin feel pleasant feelings.

What is the main idea of flying with a tiger
galina1969 [7]
The 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force in 1941–1942, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, was composed of pilots from the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC), Navy (USN), and Marine Corps (USMC), recruited under presidential authority and commanded by Claire Lee Chennault. The shark-faced nose art of the Flying Tigers remains among the most recognizable image of any individual combat aircraft or combat unit of World War II.

The group consisted of three fighter squadrons of around 30 aircraft each. It trained in Burma before the American entry into World War II with the mission of defending China against Japanese forces. The group of volunteers were officially members of the Chinese Air Force. The members of the group had contracts with salaries ranging from $250 a month for a mechanic to $750 for a squadron commander, roughly three times what they had been making in the U.S. forces. While it accepted some civilian volunteers for its headquarters and ground crew, the AVG recruited most of its staff from the U.S. military.
