Answer:

The cast caused an atrophy in Kendra's leg muscle.

Explanation:

One of the most common causes of muscle atrophy is lack of muscle use. Since Kendra's leg was immobilized by the cast, the muscles in this leg were left unused, which led to muscle atrophy. In other words, when a limb gets in a cast the muscles atrophy due to disuse. Loss of muscle mass can easily be observed after removing the cast and comparing it with the healthy opposite limb, as happened with Kendra.

When your leg is in a cast for a long time, that causes the muscle to atrophy. Because Kendra was unable to use her leg, she lost muscle mass and muscle strength because she wasn't working that leg muscle.

You are making omelets. How should you handle the eggs to keep omelets safe?
aalyn [17]
<span>You ought to break eggs against each other or against a level surface. This is done to make a major split since breaking it utilizing a side of a plate or a fork or something slender can bring about egg shell pieces to fall into the egg itself. Since salmonella can be found on egg shells, this can be to a great degree unsafe, so you truly must be mindful so as not to have bits of a shell fall in. Additionally, cook it equally and until it's well done.</span>
