Answer:

  • pain
  • delayed growth
  • frequent infections

Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic and hereditary disease, prevalent in blacks, but may also manifest in whites. It is characterized by a change in red blood cells, which lose their round and elastic shape, take on the appearance of a sickle (hence the sickle cell name) and harden, making it difficult for blood to pass through small vessels and, consequently, tissue oxygenation.

The most common symptoms are:

  • Severe pain caused by blockage of blood flow and lack of oxygen in tissues;
  • Joint pains;
  • Intense fatigue;
  • Pallor and jaundice;
  • Delayed growth;
  • Leg sores;
  • Tendency to infections;
  • Gallstones;
  • Neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary and renal problems;
  • Priapism

Common symptoms of sickle cell disease include episodes of pain, delayed growth, and frequent infections. Red blood cells, as we all know, deliver oxygen to supply on different parts of the body. However, red blood cells in sickle cell disease are deprived of oxygen, which also causes deprivation of oxygen in the muscles or organs that leads to pain and fatigue. This will also cause delayed growth because red blood cells carries nutrients needed for growth. Since this disease damages organs such as spleen which protects the body from infection, it will cause frequent infections.

En que punto tendra mayor energua potencial y en que pu to tendra mayor enerdia cinetica​
netineya [11]
A
.
La energía cinética se define como:
⇒
mi
k
=
1
2 metro v2
Dado que la masa del péndulo no cambiará, la única forma de que cambie la energía cinética es que cambie la velocidad del péndulo. La energía cinética es máxima cuando la velocidad es máxima. Esto ocurre en la parte inferior del péndulo.
B
.
Si la energía cinética es más alta en la parte inferior del péndulo, entonces es donde la energía potencial es la más baja. Entonces, la energía potencial sería más alta cuando el péndulo esté en su punto más alto a cada lado de su movimiento donde está estacionario por un instante. Este es el punto donde toda la energía cinética se ha convertido en energía potencial (
mi
k
=
0
desde
v
=
0
).
