What type of structure in nerve cells must grow in order for sensory information to be relayed to the spinal cord?

Medicine

larisa86 [58]3 years ago

For sensory information to be relayed the nerve cells should have an axon.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Nerve cells or neurons play a critical role in transmitting signals from various sense organs of the body to the spinal cord where it is processed.
  • Neurons have different parts - the dendrites which are tiny branches that receive incoming signals from the body, the nucleus, and the axon.
  • The axon is a long fiber that is covered by a protective layer called myelin sheath. It is this structure of the nerve cell or neuron that helps transmit signals to the Central Nervous System of which the spinal cord is a part.

A nurse in the intensive care unit is responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm. The nurse will assess for
slega [8]

The nurse will assess for inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation while responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm.

  • An alarm for excessive airway pressure indicates an issue with compliance or resistance.
  • To stop the alarm and make sure the patient receives the predetermined number of breaths from the ventilator, turn up the upper limit on the alarm parameter first.

An audible and/or visual alert will trigger if the pressure inside the breathing circuit falls below the Low Airway Pressure Alarm limit specified on the ventilator. Low pressure alerts can be caused by, among other things:

  • The patient's connection to the ventilator circuit breaks.
  • inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation
  • nasal cushions, prongs, or invasive non-masks that don't fit well
  • Circuit and tube connections that are loose
  • The ventilator cannot supply the patient with as much air as they need.

Bodybuilders that take anabolic steroids such as androstenedione and testosterone often suffer from gynecomasty (enlarged breast
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Gynaecomastia occurs due to

1) Feedback inhibition of pituitary.

2) Conversion of exogenous androgens into estrogen (aromatization)

Substrate : Androgen

Product : Estradiol ( estrogen )

Enzyme involved : Aromatase

Explanation:

Gynaecomastia is a condition in which the mammary

glands, or breasts, enlarge and become sore and

tender to touch. It is due to the chemical change

in testosterone brought about by a process called

aromatisation, when the male hormone is converted

to a form of estrogen, the female sex hormone.

There is initially a sore feeling in the breast. A

skin ridge appears on the outer side of the areola

together with a halo appearance around the area

but no swelling. As the course continues, a swelling

develops and it becomes tender. Fatty tissue

builds up around the area and the breast becomes

prominent. At times there may be a secretion of

fluid from the nipple when it is squeezed. Steroids

should be stopped. If recovery does not occur by

the end of 2 months, surgery should be considered.

Other causes of gynaecomastia that may need to

be considered are the use of medications such as

Tagamet, a treatment for gastric problems, HCG and

spironolactone. Some body builders use this latter

drug to reduce body fluid. Occasionally boys in the

post-pubertal phase develop breast enlargement due

to endocrine imbalance totally unrelated to steroids.

Gynaecomastia also occurs as a result of feedback inhibition of the pituitary.

Lymph capillaries are found in the
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is e. dermis

Explanation:

Lymph capillaries are thin walled capillaries interwoven with blood capillaries and found throughout the body except nervous system, bone marrow, and tissues that do not contain vascular tissue like epidermis.

The role of lymphatic capillaries is to collect the extra fluid which is secreted by the tissues in the intercellular spaces. This fluid is called lymph and is clear and transparent and contains WBCs and plasma.

Lymph is different from blood because it do not contain RBCs and platelets. Lymphatic vessels are important part of body immunity because it contains many WBCs in their lymph helpful in fighting diseases.
