Why heart disease is not an infectious disease? I need help please

Biology
1 answer:
Sidana [21]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The old idea that coronary heart disease is an infectious disease has gained popularity in recent years, and both viral and bacterial pathogens have been proposed to be associated with the inflammatory changes seen in atherosclerosis. Herpes group viruses, notably cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex type 1, have been associated with atherosclerosis and restenosis. Helicobacter pylori and dental infections have also been linked to atherogenesis, but the evidence seems to favor a respiratory, obligatory intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia pneumoniae. The association was originally found in seroepidemiological studies, but the actual presence of the pathogen in atherosclerotic lesions has been repeatedly demonstrated, and during past year the first successful animal experiments and encouraging preliminary intervention studies were published. The causal relationship has not yet been proven, but ongoing large intervention trials and continuing research on pathogenetic mechanisms may lead to the use of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of coronary heart disease in the future.

What is the primary difference between diffusion and osmosis
nata0808 [166]

Long answer here!

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

Describe the relationship between fatty acid chain length, saturation, and the melting point or fluidity of fatty acids.
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Because double bonds cause the hydrocarbon chain to bend. Therefore, the fatty acids cannot compact tightly together, reducing the van der Waals interaction between the fatty acids. The melting point of fatty acids is also affected by chain length. The longer the hydrocarbon chain is, the higher the melting point.

The MOST distinctive feature of ape dentition, which clearly distinguishes apes from Old World monkeys, is
Ugo [173]

The most distinctive feature of ape dentition, which clearly distinguishes apes from Old World monkeys, is a Y-5 molar pattern.

<h3>What is the Y-5 molar pattern?</h3>
  • This is a distinctive type of molar teeth pattern found in apes and hominoids.
  • In this, 5 cusps or raised surfaces are present on the grinding surface of teeth, roughly forming a Y- shape. Therefore, this is also known as Y-5 pattern.
  • Whereas Old world monkeys have only 4 cusps on their lower molars present in a bilophodont pattern.
  • A Y-5 molar is formed when the tooth is divided into different pieces which form the complete structure of the tooth.
  • In bilophodont pattern the tooth is divided into 2 symmetric sections.
  • The dental formula of apes is 2.1.2.3/2.1.2.3 i.e. 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, 3 molars.

The trees in a forest all have closed stomata. what is the cause?
ivanzaharov [21]
This is to prevent water loss by the trees. Under drought or dry conditions, plants may close their stomata to limit the amount of water that evaporates from their leaves a process called transpiration. In this process water diffuses through the stomata into the atmosphere, in a bid to preserve water plants may close their stomata, especially during very dry climates.
