Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that uses wire-thin needles inserted by a trained practitioner into specific points in th

e body. This ancient form of pain relief and stimulation is said to benefit patients by blocking channels which practitioners claim allow pain to travel within the body. This practice became more widely recognized and used after a New York Times reporter wrote in 1971 of a positive experience with it after surgery.
Those who doubt the effectiveness of this treatment for pain attribute the pain relief to a placebo effect: if a patient believes something will reduce their pain, they will experience some relief. The National Institutes of Health says that acupuncture relieves pain and reduces nausea and vomiting, although it is unclear how it works. The few adverse effects reported are due to improperly sterilized needles or improper delivery, making this still a fairly low risk option. For anyone considering acupuncture, they should first research its effectiveness for their specific condition.

How do lipids differ from one another in function?
algol [13]

Answer:

The three fatty acids can be different from one another. Since the hydrocarbon chains are very non-polar, fats do no dissolve in water; instead, fat molecules tend to coalesce with one another. Since a fat molecule has 3 fatty acids connected to a glycerol molecule, they are also called triglycerides.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C "The pressure change causes the organ of Corti to vibrate vertically".

Explanation:

The organ of Corti is an important structure for auditory perception that acts as a receptor organ for hearing.  The organ of Corti is located in the mammalian cochlea and it allows for the transduction of auditory signals into nerve impulses according to the vibrations that are received from external sources. If the receiving sounds comes from the stapes pushing against membrane covering the oval window, the pressure change will causes the organ of Corti to vibrate vertically. Stimulus from membrane covering the oval window are sent to the organ of Corti, which responds by vibrating vertically.

Answer

RIBOSOMES on the ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

Explanation:

This is the site of protein synthesis usually find attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or  freely on the cystosol,

When they are attached to the  endoplasmic reticulum they appeared as back dots which makes the surface of ER to appear rough, hence the name ROUGH ER. Smooth ER, lacks Ribosomes, and therefore appears smooth,

Ribosomes  are made up of PROTEIN AND RNA.

They are 25nm in diameter;when viewed under high magnification, where theymade up of  two sub-units  the small and large units.

The protein synthesize by the Ribosomes are passed into the sacs  of Rough E.R  for transportation,

Basically, a complete Ribosomes is refereed to as 70S for prokaryotic ribosomes and 80S for Eukaryotic Ribisomes.This refers to their sedimentation Co-efficient in Svedberg units,the Eukaryotes sediment faster than the Prokaroytes
