The inability to access memories formed, or difficulty in retrieving them, before brain damage or injury is called a Retrograde Amnesia
It is caused by impairment to the memory-storage areas of the brain. This type of damage can result from a distressing injury, a serious illness, a seizure or stroke, or a degenerative brain infection. It can be temporary, permanent, or get worse over time depending on the cause. With this type of amnesia, memory loss typically involves facts instead of skills. For instance, a person might forget if he owns a car, what make and model it is, or when he bought it, but he will still know how to drive.

The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine during sympathetic stimulation. Why epinephrine would increase the sympathetic response
user100 [1]

Answer: Because epinephrine activates the fight or flight response, related to the sympathethic response in the body.

Explanation:

The function of the Autonomic Nervous System is the regulation of the system cardiovascular, digestion, respiration, body temperature, metabolism, exocrine glands, and therefore keep the internal environment constant (homeostasis). While sympathetic activity increases in stress, the activity parasympathetic predominates during rest and satiety. The adrenal medulla originates from the neural crest and is composed of neuroendocrine specialized cells and are responsible for the production of catecholamines.

Catecholamines are dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline (epinephrine and norepinephrine). Epinephrine prepares muscles, lungs, and heart for more intense activity, in situations of stress. It promotes the increase in the force of contraction in the muscles and increases in the heart rate. It also leads to increased blood pressure and bronchodilation, for greater availability of O2.

Cathy's favorite salad dressing is a liquid with particles of salt, pepper, and garlic. When comparing a spoonful of salad dress
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Liquid equivalent to "cytoplasm" and the particles equivalent to "organelles".

Explanation:

While comparing a liquid salad dressing to a cell, the liquid will be equivalent to "cytoplasm" because cytoplasm is a thick solution present in each cell that made up of water, salts, and proteins.

The particles would be equivalent to "organelles" because as particles float in liquid salad adding flavours to the salad likewise organelles are present in a cell floating in the cytoplasm that performs a specific function.

Hence, the correct answer is " liquid will be equivalent to "cytoplasm" and the particles will be equal to "organelles".

Iteru [2.4K]
Contracture develops when normally elastic connective tissue are replaced with nonelastic fibrous tissues. 
Contracture is the prolonged state of shortening or tightened tissue. Contracture develops when the normally stretchy tissues are replaced by non stretchy fiber-like tissue. This tissue makes it hard to stretch the area and prevents normal movement. It mostly occurs in the skin, the tissues underneath, and the muscles, tendons, ligaments surrounding a joint.
