Answer:

c) unrelenting cough

Explanation:

  • ACE inhibitors stand for Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors.
  • ACE inhibitors are used for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart diseases.
  • These inhibitors perform their action by causing a relaxation of the blood vessels which results in decreased blood pressure.
  • Further, these inhibitors prevent the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and the site of this conversion is the lungs, since this conversion is blocked by these inhibitors, an unrelenting persistent cough is a common side effect associated with the use of these inhibitors.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

No, I don't reckon that water is alive. I don't think that it is "dead" either. It simply just... exists. However, it DOES hold life within it. But the water itself is not alive, because for something to be considered "alive", it must meet the requirements of responding to stimuli, reproducing and growing, and must be dependent on its environment. Water itself cannot be dependent on an environment, because it IS an environment.

This is just my opinion though :)

The structures that receive the ovulated oocyte, providing a site for fertilization, are called the ________.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: B. fallopian tubes  

Explanation:

Fallopian tubes - consist of two channels that are located laterally to the uterine horns, and are responsible for capturing the female gamete released by the ovary into the peritoneal cavity, and its conduction to the uterus. For this, the tubes perform peristaltic movements and have eyelashes that push the gametes to the uterus. The fallopian tubes are attached to the upper part of the broad ligament, which is called mesosalpinx.

The sperm meets the ovum in the fallopian tube, and then they go into the uterine cavity. When this does not occur, there is an ectopic pregnancy because the development of the fetus occurs in the tube's ampoule, a phenomenon known as tubal pregnancy, which can culminate in the rupture of the fallopian tube, a situation that causes major bleeding.
