_____ could be partly responsible for rendering fire fighters and civilians incapable of self-rescue when exposed to smoke

Nina [5.8K]

When exposed to smoke, hydrogen cyanide may play a role in rendering firemen and bystanders incapable of performing self-rescue.

HCN is a toxin that spreads throughout the body; it is hazardous because it inhibits cytochrome oxidase, which stops cells from using oxygen. Loss of awareness, respiratory arrest, and finally death arise from inhibition of the last stage of electron transport in brain cells.

Higher HCN exposures cause cardiovascular collapse, tremors, cardiac arrhythmia (which may not manifest for two to three weeks after the fire exposure), coma, respiratory depression, and respiratory arrest. Inhaling minute concentrations of hydrogen cyanide can result in headaches, weakness, nausea, and vomiting. Larger doses might result in fainting, convulsions, gasping, fast pulse, irregular heartbeat, and even death. In general, the severity of the symptoms increases with the seriousness of the exposure.

Answer:

The correct answer is Imagery.

Explanation:

Cognitive psychology can be understood as the academic study of cognitive and metal processes that occur in the individual.

One of those cognitive processes is memory.

Widely speaking, memory is the cognitive ability that helps us remember events, concepts, movements, words, numbers and also memory helps us learn new things.

Remembering is a very complex process and it can be influenced by multiple factors.

Semantic memory is a type of memory that consists of conceptual information such as words, numbers, concepts, etc.

Certain factors contribute to the level of difficulty to remember certain things.

In this particular case, the fact that we are more likely to remember the words bicycle, cigarette and fire than the words void, process and inherent is because the first group of words we can visualize it in the real world.

We know how a cigarette looks, but how does inherent looks like?

This shows the value of Imagery. When we can visualize things we can remember said things more easily.

Eddi Din [679]

The government may be violating the Fifth Amendment by trying to prosecute Mary and Bob again.
The Fifth Amendment states (among other things) that a person can be tried only once in federal court for the same offense. Given that Mary and Bob were already prosecuted for identity theft and won the case due to lack of evidence, the government can try to prosecute them again, but it will be violating the Fifth Amendment in doing so.
