This is called bursitis specifically olecranon bursitis. Olecranon bursa in the elbow is a thin fluid filled sac at the tip of the elbow. The bursa fills with fluid which can lead into inflammation on the surrounding area of the elbow resulting in pain and limitations of movement. Complications can happen if medical attention is not given. This includes bleeding, bruising, infectins, necrotizing fasciitis can also happen. Patient must undergo work up such as plain x rays, bone scintigraphy or if needed MRI/CT scan. Surgical interventions are usually needed because non surgical means are usually non effective. Long term monitoring is a must and patient must be advised on prevention practices.

A molecule with the formula C18H36O2, would probably exhibit which of the following characteristics?
Mashcka [7]
The answer would be A—the molecular formula given is that of a long-chain, saturated fatty acid, which would be insoluble in water (i.e., hydrophobic).

—————————

B describes carbohydrates, which can function as a storage of energy (e.g., starch or glycogen) or structural components (e.g., cellulose). The three examples just given are polymers of glucose, a monosaccharide; monosaccharide generally have the empirical formula CH2O; this is not the empirical formula of the given molecule (and, in any case, there are too few oxygen atoms for the number of carbon atoms), and so B is incorrect.

C describes an amino acid, likely an α-amino acid, which consist of a central, saturated carbon bonded to amino (—NH2) and carboxyl (—C(=O)OH) functional groups and a variable side chain, which determines the amino acid’s properties. Since the formula of an amino acid must contain nitrogen, which the formula given doesn’t have, the molecule couldn’t be an amino acid, and so C is incorrect.

D describes nucleic acids. Examples include DNA and RNA; nucleic acids and the nucleotide monomers that comprise them contain a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. The given molecule’s formula has neither nitrogen nor phosphorus, and so cannot represent an amino acid, making D incorrect.

The digestive tract is essentially one long tube. Write down order of the structures
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

It consists of the mouth, or oral cavity, with its teeth, for grinding the food, and its tongue, which serves to knead food and mix it with saliva; the throat, or pharynx; the esophagus; the stomach; the small intestine, consisting of the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum; and the large intestine, consisting of the cecum, a closed-end sac connecting with the ileum, the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon, which terminates in the rectum. Glands contributing digestive juices include the salivary glands, the gastric glands in the stomach lining, the pancreas, and the liver and its adjuncts—the gallbladder and bile ducts. All of these organs and glands contribute to the physical and chemical breaking down of ingested food and to the eventual elimination of nondigestible wastes.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Rocks can be divided into three basic classifications: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. The following tests are used by experts to classify rocks: Hardness Test Minerals are scaled in range from 1 to 10, with 1 being softest and 10 hardest. The method of determining hardness is the scratch test.
