Answer:

The correct answer choice from the ones provided in this list, to answer the question: Proper care for a chemical burn should include:____, would be, B: Irrigating the affected area to remove any chemicals and D: Removing the patient´s clothing once irrigation has begun. Both of these choices are the steps that must be taken as soon as a chemical burn makes its appearance.

Explanation:

According to the first aid manuals delivered by such authorities as Mayo Clinic, chemical burns need to be treated in a very specific way not only to avoid further damage to the person who was burned by the chemical, but also to anyone who helps, as the substance may be transfered to whoever helps inappropriately and also be affected. As such, after finding that a person has been burned by a chemical substance, and unless the chemical on the person should not be washed off with water due to its type, the norm is to flood the area affected with water, for at least 10 minutes. Only after proper irrigation has been used, can the aiding person touch the clothing and jewelry of the one burned. But after flooding, and irrigating, the damaged clothing and other such articles HAVE to be taken off. Otherwise the chemical may continue spreading. Never use other substances to try and neutralize a chemical burn. And flooding needs to happen for MORE than 5 minutes.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The water-soluble vitamins comprises all the 8 B vitamins and vitamin C. When one consumes these vitamins, they get dissolved in water and then get mediated to various parts of the body via bloodstream. The body utilizes the vitamins it requires, and then the extra vitamin if got consumed is eliminated from the body via urine.

As the water-soluble vitamins are excreted time to time, one requires to meet the needs for water-soluble vitamins each day. The fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, E, D and K. When one consumes fat-soluble vitamins, they get dissolved in fat prior to getting mediated via the bloodstream.

The body utilizes the required fat-soluble vitamins and then accumulates any extra vitamins in the liver. However, if one consumes huge concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins spontaneously, then one may develop a condition known as vitamin toxicity or hypervitaminosis. The condition can be chronic or acute.

Which of the following target cells to increase metabolism? (Choose two)

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Hormones that act on the target cells to increase metabolism are Triiodothyronine (T₃) and Thyroxine (T₄).

Explanation:

The hormones triiodothyronine (T₃) and thyroxine (T₄) are the active forms of thyroid hormone, responsible for increasing cell metabolism.

Both T₃ and T₄are produced by the thyroid gland, in response to the pituitary hormone TSH. T₄ is more abundant but less powerful than T₃

Thyroid hormones are responsible for controlling cell metabolism, since their increase determines an increase in metabolism, and their deficiency slows it down.

The other options are not correct because:

Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH) is produced by the hypothalamus to activate the production of TSH in the pituitary gland.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a pituitary hormone in charge of activating the production of T₃ and T₄ in the thyroid.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) is produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate the production of hormones in the adrenal cortex.
