Answer:

(b) Voltage gated

Explanation:

The cell membrane acts as a barrier that separates two aqueous media of different composition, the extracellular and the intracellular, regulating its composition. Most of the liposoluble drugs and solutes, when not ionized, directly cross the cell membrane through a passive diffusion process, which facilitates the passage of the medium where it is more concentrated to the one that is more diluted. The difference in concentration between the two media is called the concentration gradient, and diffusion will continue until this gradient is eliminated. According to Fick's law, the speed of this process will be much faster the higher the concentration gradient and the liposolubility of the molecule and the smaller its size.

More hydrophilic molecules, such as ions, are immiscible in membrane lipids and pass through specific specific transport mechanisms. In some cases, ions pass through hydrophilic pores called ion channels, and in others a favor of their concentration gradient is transported by binding to the transporter or transporter proteins. Both transport systems are passive and therefore do not consume energy. The great advantage is that the ion channels allow the flow of ions through a much higher speed than that of any other biological system. The flow of ions through each channel can be measured as an electric current, which is capable of producing rapid changes in membrane potential.

Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?

m_a_m_a [10]

Capsid is the component of a virus that is lacking in its cell

A capsid is the protein shell that surrounds a virus. Capsids functions by protecting the nucleic acids of a virus while interacting with the host environment. Capsids are made up of many oligomeric structural subunits that contains the protein; protomers. Capsids are generally grouped based on their structure. The common ones are helical and icosahedral.

A multigravid client admitted to the labor area is scheduled for a cesarean birth under spinal anesthesia. Which client statemen

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:The anesthetic may cause a severe headache, which is treatable."

Explanation:

Spinal anesthesia is a type of anesthesia which is administered locally using a fine needle between L3 and L4 space or L4 and L5 space in order to avoid injury to the spinal cord. This procedure is usually carried out by a trained health personnel such as:

- a nurse anesthetists and

- anesthesiologists

Spinal anaesthesia can be used in different surgical procedures such as Caesarea sections and to manage pain during vaginal delivery in MULTIGRAVID CLIENTS, which are those clients who has been pregnant more than once.

Caesarean section is usually done while the patient is awake with the use of spinal anaesthesia. Therefore it's important to explain any possible side effects from the drug to the patient which includes a severe type of headache called post-spinal headache and it's treatable.
