Answer and Explanation:

Ergotamine has been used for over 50 years and was the first specific drug to treat migraine attacks. Its therapeutic effect is due in part to its ability to contract the vessels. It is a vasoconstricting alkaloid used in migraine attacks, when treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has no effect.

The mechanism of action of ergotamine is complex. The molecule has structural similarities to neurotransmitters such as seratonin, dopamine and adrenaline, and can therefore bind to various receptors and function as an inhibitor. Its use in the treatment of migraines is due to its vasoconstrictor effect of extracerebral intracranial blood vessels through their binding to the 5-HT1B receptor and inhibition of neurotransmitter binding.

Overuse of ergotamine may cause nausea, vomiting (to direct effects on the Central Nervous System in the vomiting centers) , malaise, headache, constriction of peripheral vessels and more severe effects such as ischemia of the extremities.

Ergotamine poisoning is called ergotism.

Ergotamine should not be used in patients with peripheral arterial or venous vascular insufficiency, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, systemic infection and hypertension without effective control.

What is spinal cord?...<br>

True [87]

Answer:

it is ur spine

The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue, which extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column. It encloses the central canal of the spinal cord, which contains cerebrospinal fluid. The brain and spinal cord together make up the central nervous system. In humans, the spinal cord begins at the occipital bone, passing through the foramen magnum and entering the spinal canal at the beginning of the cervical vertebrae. The spinal cord extends down to between the first and second lumbar vertebrae, where it ends. The enclosing bony vertebral column protects the relatively shorter spinal cord. It is around 45 cm in men and around 43 cm long in women. The diameter of the spinal cord ranges from 13 mm in the cervical and lumbar regions to 6.4 mm in the thoracic area.

Summarize the relationship between diet and diabetes type 2. Include in your discussion acceptable eating patterns, carbohydrate

alexandr1967 [171]

Explanation:

Describe how various factors influence personal food choices.

Preferences (#1 reason taste), Habit, Ethnic and Regional Cuisines (foods they grew up with), Social Interactions, Availability Convenience and Economy, Positive Negative associations, Emotions, Values (religious beliefs, political views, environmental concerns), Body weight and Image (that they believe will improve physical appearance), Nutritional and Health benefits

1.2 Name the six major classes of nutrients and identify which are organic and which yield energy.

a. List the six nutrients contained in food and a major use of each nutrient.

b. Identify the energy-providing nutrients.

Inorganic- Minerals and water

Organic- Carbohydrate, Lipid, Protein, Vitamins

Carbohydrate(main energy source for the brain), Protein (major structural component of cells and is responsible for the building and repair of body tissues), Lipid (increases the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins including vitamins A, D, E and K), Vitamins (essential for overall health, normal cell function, growth and development), Minerals (essential constituents of skeletal structures such as bones and teeth), Water ( maintain homeostasis in the body and transports nutrients to cells)

Energy Yielding- Carbohydrate, Fat and Protein

1.4 Define the four categories of the DRI and explain their purposes.

a. Discuss Dietary Reference Intakes and the 4 parts of the DRI including the Estimated Average Requirements (EAR), Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA), Adequate Intakes (AI), Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL), and Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)

b. Explain the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) and how it is used to maintain energy balance.

c. Discuss the uses of Nutrient Recommendations and their application to specific populations

-Estimated Average Requirements- how much is needed in the diet, Recommended Dietary Allowances-intake to recommend for everyone, Adequate Intake-the average amount of a nutrient that a group of healthy people consumes, Tolerable Upper Intake Levels-where a nutrient is likely to become tolerable

-Estimated Energy Requirement-45-35% Carbs, 20-36% fat, 10-35% Protein. Reduces the risk of chronic diseases

-Nutrient recommendations: estimates of adequate energy and nutrient intakes apply to healthy people, Recommendations are not minimum requirements, nor are they necessarily optimal intakes for all individuals, most nutrient goals are intended to be met through diets composed of a variety of foods whenever possible, Recommendations apply to average daily intakes, Each of the
