Renee and Karl have been married for six years, and have two active children, ages 2 and 5. The kids keep both parents busy, cha

sing the kids around and, recently, preparing the oldest child for kindergarten. In addition, both Renee and Karl work full time, so there isn’t a lot of free time to do things that are important to their health, like see the doctor for regular physicals. Both are healthy, so they haven’t been too worried. Renee went for routine physical last week and had blood work drawn. (It had been three years since her last physical.) The doctor called during the day with some worrying results. After putting the kids to bed, Renee was ready to talk through the results with Karl. Karl, with a worried look on his face, asked what was up. Renee told him that her cholesterol levels were very high. In fact, her total cholesterol was 220. Her HDL was 20, and her LDL was 200. That information, combined with the fact that her father had passed away at a young age from a heart attack, worried the doctor…and Renee. 1.What are HDL and LDL? 2.What is the normal role of cholesterol in the body? Do you need cholesterol? (Hint: Remember cell membranes.) 3.What are the health consequences of high cholesterol?4.What could be causing Renee’s high cholesterol levels? Describe at least three possible contributing factors.

Answer: 1. HDL high density lipoprotein is the good fat LDL low density lipoprotein is the bad fat

2. cholesterol is a major component of all cell membranes and is used to make essential molecules like hormones, fat soluble vitamins and bile acids to help digest food.

3. yes we need cholesterol, but the body makes its own, so that we dont have to consume large amounts in our diets.

the health consequences are heart disease and you can develop fatty deposits through your arteries which can clog blood vessels.

4. poor diet, saturated fats, and trans fat that are found in many foods like animal products, some baked cookies , crackers and microwave popcorn, and full fat dairy products.

How can our knowledge of muscle growth be used to treat degenerative diseases such as muscular dystrophy and related disorders?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

A range of motion and stretching exercises can help combat the inevitable inward movement of the limbs as muscles and tendons shorten. Limbs tend to become fixed in position, and these types of activities can help keep them mobile for longer. Standard low-impact aerobic exercises such as walking and swimming can also help slow the disease’s progression.

Explanation:

The more we know about growth of the muscles, the more we can do to figure out treatments that are sustainable. If we know more about muscle growth, then we can know how it will react with treatment.

HURRY
QveST [7]

Answer:

I find it to be somewhat reasonable because even if you don’t want to commit to being a full-time vegetarian, you can still have 2 days to eat meat and then go back to being vegetarian for the other 5 days. It helps you ease into the lifestyle. Because of that, I find his argument relatively convincing.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! :)
