Medicine
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Many cells in the body have extensions of their cellular menbrana, which depending on their length can be cilia or microvilli, which are the shortest. We see the case, for example, the microvilli found in the small intestine, more abundant at the level of the second and third portions of the intestine, which favors the great absorption of liquids, proteins and nutrients that occur at this level.

Cilia are cellular structures that have a more defined formation and are characterized by their nucleus being made up of proteins and enveloped by the cytosol and plasma menbrana. They are presented as an appendix in the form of hair; We will find these cilia in the cells of the respiratory system and in the reproductive system where they help the mobility of foreign bodies (respiratory system) and the movements of sperm (reproductive system).

It is difficult to place mental health high on the public health agenda of low- and middleincome countries that face an enormous
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

There is a large 'treatment gap' about mental health in low and middle income countries. A health agenda should understand that there is no an integral or complete health without mental health. This treatment gap is due to 80% of global population live in low and middle income countries but only 20% of the mental health resources are destined for low and middle income countries. Then, the first argument is about equity and providing people basic necessities.

There are efficient drug and psychological treatments for mental disorders but the lack of attention to mental health has led to that five of the top ten contributors to years lived with disability were mental health problems. This sets a vicious cycle of disadvantage and social exclusion. The Global Burden of Disease report states how delivering psychological treatment or stepped care interventions for mental disorders from non-specialist health care workers can reduce large treatment periods for health disorders and their associated disabilities.
