Neonates are at a higher risk of developing respiratory complications upon administering general anesthesia

Explanation:

Anesthesia can lead to a number of perioperative and postoperative respiratory complications especially in neonates. Neonates may require varying levels and types of anesthesia for various conditions starting from central line or VP shunt placement, tracheostomy or gastrostomy tube placements, any excisions, circumscision and any other surgical procedures.  

The immature neonatal respiratory system makes neonatal anesthesia a difficult task due to:

Anatomically, the airways are small and alveoli network is immature.

Physiologically, neonatal metabolic rate is very high with more oxygen consumption than adults

Functionally, the lung mechanism is also immature, smaller upper airway resistance and higher lower airway resistance which causes collapse.

Hence, proper care should be taken while anesthetizing neonates with proper communication with the healthcare team including pediatric surgeons, pulmonologist, cardiologist, nursing care, pharmacists etc

(hi, i dont know about this one personally, but i found an answer somewhere else on the internet thatll hopefully help u)

Answer: They consist of long chains of C, H, and O.

Explanation:

In terms of chemical composition, lipids differ from nucleic acids and proteins because they mostly just contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (except for phospholipids which of course contain phosphorous). In addition to those elements, proteins contain nitrogen and sulfur, and nucleic acids contain nitrogen and phosphorous.

Carbohydrates share the C, H, and O composition as lipids, but they differ in structure. Lipids are generally exist as triglycerides, which consist of a triple hydroxyl alcohol (glycerol) that has bonded to three long-chain carboxylic acids (fatty acids) in a triple condensation reaction. Carbohydrates on the other hand are made of carbon ring structures that either remain alone or polymerize into long polysaccharide chains.

In stressful situations, the sympathetic nervous system ________ the arteries of the circulatory system and ________ the pupils
sukhopar [10]
The correct terms to fill in the blanks would be contracts and dilates. In stressful situations, the sympathetic nervous system contracts the arteries of the circulatory system resulting to the dilation of the pupils of the eyes. Also, during these situations, the blood sugar levels are raised since the hormones for stress kick in to combat the stress which in turn raises the blood sugar.
