Which medical technology is quickly used to measure body temperature?

Flauer [41]3 years ago

Digital thermometers are medical tool to measure body temperature where it uses electronic heat sensors and record the result. These thermometers can be used in the armpit, mouth or rectum. Armpit thermometer are usually least accurate compared to mouth and rectal thermometers. Rectal temperature provide best reading for infants especially those newborns and children up to 3 years old while mouth thermometer gives accurate reading for older children and adults.

The answer is ear thermometer. This is a kind of thermometer that records body temperature through the ear canal. The ear thermometer was conceived in 1964 by Dr. Theodor H. Benzinger. Dr. Benzinger functioned from 1947 to 1970 at the Naval Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland where he studied temperature guideline and helped make the field of biothermodynamics.

A glacier recedes and exposes bare rock. Which of the following will most likely occur next? A. The bare rock will quickly break
agasfer [191]

Answer:

correct option is A.

Succession is the process by which the structure of a particular community evolves over a specific period of time. There are two types of succession, primary and secondary succession. Primary succession is a type of succession that occurs in a place which is incapable of sustaining the growth of plants, that is, it usually occur on barren lands. All the options given above are examples of places for primary succession with the exception of option A.

Once a neuron is stimulated and the membrane potential is depolarized, the depolarized axonal membrane is helped to return to it
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell membrane separates the cell from the outer environment. The extracellular fluid contains the sodium ions (Na+), chloride ions (Cl-), while intracellular fluid contains potassium (K +) and negative anions.

The potential difference arises when the membrane is selectively permeable to some ions. The resting potential is -70mV.  

When the neurons get excited, the sodium ions start to enter by sodium channels.  

Now there are more positive ions inside the cell membrane. It disturbs the resting potential i.e. -70mV. This stage is known as depolarization.

When the inside environment of the cell is more positively charged, the potassium ions start to move out of the cell. It goes out by the voltage-gated channels. Thus resting stage is maintained and it is known as repolarization.

But the initial stability of the cell membrane has to be maintained. To restore the resting stage, the sodium ions start to move out of the membrane and potassium ions enter into the cells again. This is an active transport and has done by the Na+ - K+ pump. Here 3 sodium ions move out and 2  potassium ions pumped into the cell through the plasma membrane.  

Thus the resting potential regains. The potassium ions come back into the cells against the concentration gradient and ATP provides the energy for this phenomena.

How would soil fertility likely change during the early years of primary succession?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Primary succession is a method of fertilizing soil that was barren and had never supported plant life, for example soil left over by a moved glacier of lava.
The soil is first "normalized", using pioneer species such as lichens, algae and fungi.
After this, plants able to survive in less harsh conditions such as grasses.
Therefore, the fertility of soil during early years of primary succession does not increase much and it is a process that involves a long period of time.

The Manx cat has abnormal spinal development and no tail. The mutation is a dominant allele (M). For notation purposes, m refers
lord [1]

Answer:

d. 1/3

Explanation:

Given, M is a dominant allele which is responsible for tailless kittens and m is recessive wild type allele which leads to kittens with tail. M is a lethal allele which means that if it is present in homozygous condition, the kitten will not survive. So the Manx cats should be heterozygous i.e. Mm.

When they mate, Mm X Mm :

      M        m

M   MM    Mm

m   Mm    mm

1/4 kittens will have MM genotype so they will not survive. Out of the remaining kittens, 1/3 will be mm and hence they will have normal tail. Remaining 2/3 will have Mm genotype like their parents and will be born without tail. Hence, there is 1/3 probability that one of the four kittens will have a normal tail.
