Answer:

Brain stem.

Explanation:

Brain stem may be defined as the base of the brain that are directly connected to the spinal cord. Pons, medulla oblongata and midbrain is included in the brain stem.

The damage or any injury in the brain stem can be life threatening because the message flow between the brain and body part is controlled by the brain stem. The basic body functions like heart rate, blood pressure, movement and breathing is controlled by the brain stem.

Thus, the correct answer is brain stem.

Answer:

Brain stem

Explanation:

Brain stem is a stem-like structure. It is a part of the base of the brain which is joined to the spinal cord.

Brain stem includes midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata It controls essential functions of the body which are important for the life.

The important functions of the human body controlled by brainstem are breathing, swallowing, heart rate, blood pressure, consciousness.

Therefore, damage of the brain stem would be the most life-threatening.

natka813 [3]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is DILATED PUPILS.

DILATED PUPILS is not a sign of sepsis.

Explanation: Sepsis can be defined as the way our body system respond to infection or invasion of a foreign body into the body system.(usually bacterial infection)

When Sepsis becomes severe,it is injurious to organs of the body(affects their function in a negative way).

Sepsis occurs when the body's immune system tends to fight infection in the body by the release of certain chemicals(cytokines and prostaglandins),the body instead of reacting in a coordinated manner to these chemicals rather reacts out of proportion to these chemicals released to fight infection and this will lead damage to organs of the body system.

Sepsis is characterised by Fever(above 101°F (38.3°C) or below 96.8°F (36°C), increased in respiratory rate (more than 20 breaths per minute), Increased heart rate (more than 90 beats per minute),increased white blood cell count,low blood pressure and mental confusion.

Treatment of Sepsis includes the administration of antibiotics and intravenous fluid, administration of drugs to support blood pressure and administration of steroids.

__ is to a point source of water pollution as ________ is to a nonpoint source of water pollution.
Ad libitum [116K]
The more probable answer is b: power plant effluent; golf course runoff, although a: <span>power plant effluent; an underground coal mine drain, is also a possible answer.

The source of effluent from a power plant occupies a small, well defined space, i.e. an effluent pipe. This is what is known as a point source, as you can identify with high confidence the spatial and temporal boundaries of the source of pollution. Point sources are relatively easy to quantify and manage because they are so well defined in space and time. Reducing pollution from point sources could be achieved by simply treating effluent to a higher standard or reducing the amount of effluent released. Runoff from land, such as a golf course, is what is defined as a non-point source pollutant. The spatial and temporal aspects of this sort of pollution are much harder to define, as the pathways of runoff from the land into the river may be highly dispersed and variable over time. These sorts of pollution are therefore much harder to quantify and manage.</span>
