Answer:

Heat exhaustion, and heat stroke are both caused from heat. Heat exhaustion comes on before heat stroke, being more mild, and not as severe. On the other hand, heat stroke is very serious and can result in damage to your internal organs, and/or brain. Tho very similar, they are different ways to handle both, along with a few different symptoms. With heat exhaustion the suspected case would have cool moist skin, heavy sweating, and low blood pressure. Heat stroke has alternate sweating, and their temperature being around 104 degrees fahrenheit. They both share the symptoms of nausea , dizziness, fatigue, and headache. If suspected heat exhaustion, you should sit in a cool shaded spot, rest, as well as drinking water and/or sports drink. If suspected heat stroke, seek medical help immediately, the longer it is left untreated the more damage done.

Answer:

Heat exhaustion happens when the body is over heated, causing heavy sweating. Heat strokes are due to long exposure time to high temperatures and you start to sweat less.

Answer:

Reesa must perform her training within a heart rate range of 140 and 160 bpm.

Explanation:

Reesa, a 20-year-old athlete, must work on her physical exercises taking into account that her heart rate should never exceed 200 bpm, equivalent to her maximum heart rate (MHR).

MHR is an estimate of the maximum work the heart can do without risk of injury or damage.

The formula for calculating MHR is:

MHR = 220 - age 

In the case of Reesa;

MHR = 220 - 20 = 200 bpm.

Since Reesa wants to train at 70 - 80 % of her MHR, it is calculated:

MHR70 = 200 X 70% = 200 (70/100) = 140 bpm
MHR80 = 200 X 80% = 200 (80/100) = 160 bpm

Reesa should adjust her work so that her heart rate stays between 140 and 160 bpm.

How do you think heredity and environment affect or connect to defects?

Troyanec [42]

Answer with Explanation:

Heredity and environment may play a role in connection to birth defects.

For example, when it comes to heredity, some genes can be transferred to children. An example of this is the "sickle cell disease." If parents transfer two of these genes to the child, then the child will most likely inherit the disease.

Another example, when it comes to environment, the exposure of a mother to certain factors like radiation, drugs (teratogens), alcohol, etc. may result to birth defects in children. When it comes to alcohol, mothers who have been drinking alcohol while pregnant will deliver a baby with "fetal alcohol syndrome." The baby with this syndrome will have problems with his learning ability, physical disproportions (esp. the face), will be hyperactive, etc.
