Answer:

A) Adverse effects tend to be more severe in children

Explanation:

This is so as a result of the effect of anticholinergics on muscarinic receptors which are distributed all over the body. As such these adverse effects affects the salivary gland, gastrointestinal system, the central nervous system and the urinary system. This then leads to dry mouth, constipation and mood changes.

The adverse effects seems to be more because the organs of paediatric patients are not fully developed so the time needed for the drug to be metabolized will be longer therefore allowing the drug to be in circulation for a longer time.

mote1985 [20]

A. Intrinsic factor

Explanation:

The Vitamin B12 is used by the human body in the synthesis of the DNA, proteins and the hormones. The vitamin B12 is absorbed by the human body from the niacin, thiamine and folate.

The digestion of vitamin B12 is digested in the stomach by peptidases which breaks down the protein attached to the vitamin and then attaching the intrinsic factor to the vitamin B12. The vitamin B12 gets absorbed by the digestive in this form.

Imagine you have noticed that a good friend is showing signs of a possible eating disorder. Describe some of the
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Indicators: Avoids eating in front of people, made very uncomfortable by being forced to eat, (not always) major weight loss, lack of interest in daily things, lack of energy, avoiding events where food is the main subject (Dinners, parties, ect,), watch for binges and then super restrictive behavior.

How to seek help: Try to sit down and ask them about it, this might not go the best as people with ED's are very good at hiding it. If unable to talk to them, go to an adult THEY trust.

Most Difficult: Well firstly, its incredibly hard to go behind a good friends back to seek help for them, and secondly most people have a stigma that ED's only occur in super skinny people. However, this is not the case at all, eating disorders have no size, shape, or race.

I hope this can help! :)
