5 0

Answer & Explanation: The Berlin Blockade occurred between June 1948 to May 1949 which was characterized by the restriction of supplies to the U.S, Britain and French sectors of Berlin which coincidentally was situated within East Germany occupied by the Soviet Union. Railways, roads, canals etc. were blocked leaving millions of civilians without basic amenities.

In response to the Berlin Blockade of the period, the Western Allies arranged what was termed the Berlin Airlift which lasted nearly a year with the aim of bringing essential, vital supplies to the massive population of West Berlin, a difficult feat given the size of the city's population.

The blockage and the airlift response thus represented the very first major conflict of the Cold War era.

Which the best approach to removing the parietal pericardium?

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

b. Start at the inferior region of the heart and remove the parietal pericardium until you reach the atria, then carefully cut the inferior portion of the parietal pericardium off. After you have done this you can slowly expose the major vessels by removing the rest of the parietal pericardium.

Explanation:

The pericardium is a fluid-containing membrane that surrounds the heart and protects it from infections while also lubricating it during movement. Pericarditis is a condition in which the pericardium becomes stiff and holds the heart in such a way that it prevents normal pumping movement, filling the heart inconsistently with blood and causing heart failure. To solve this, pericardiectomy is performed which is the surgical removal of the pericardium. This is done through median sternotomy, this approach cuts through the breastbone to reach the inferior part of the heart and then the parietal pericardium which is the outer pericardium.
