Correct, Pepsin denatures in the small intestine (duodenum) due to the higher pH (more basic or alkaline), and also the lack of HCl (neutralized by the base bicarbonate in the duodenum), which is a potent activator of pepsin in the stomach.

patriot [66]
There are choices for this question namely:

A. Cirrhosis
B. Hepatitis
C. Nephritis
<span>D. Rhabdomyolysis
</span>
The correct answer is "rhabdomyolysis". The major adverse effect that is related to simvastatin intake is rhabdomyolysis or the death of skeletal muscle tissue causing the release of myoglobin to the bloodstream. Myoglobin elimination through the kidneys may impair kidney function and cause acute renal failure that is why kidney function tests are requested. Myoglobin metabolism in the liver also puts stress to the organ that is why liver function tests should be requested.

If you wanted to eliminate wind what would be the best way to do it
pychu [463]

Answer:

The best way to eliminate the wind is to build barriers.

Explanation:

As you may already know, the wind is a large-scale flow of gases. This flow is palpable and can be prevented from entering certain places by building physical barriers that block the flow. In this case, the construction of barriers prevents the wind from advancing and reaches a certain region, because it causes the wind to crash against this barrier and be pushed back, prevented from advancing.
