Answer:

Palpation of the prostate is done by palpating it through the anterior portion of the rectal wall.

Explanation:

Prostate palpation is performed in doctors' offices during a routine urologist appointment. The specialist will ask the patient to take off his clothes and lie on a stretcher. The position for rectal touch depends on the practice of each doctor. It can be done lying in bed in the gynecological position, lying on its side or standing flexing the abdomen on the stretcher.

The doctor will introduce the gloved, lubricated finger into the rectal region (canal that connects the anus to the rectum) and reach the prostate through the anterior portion of the rectal wall. The exam takes approximately 10 seconds to complete. The procedure is painless, but may end up causing some discomfort.

What is true of saturated fatty acids?
anzhelika [568]

<u>Answer:</u>  They have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

<em>Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A fatty acid that doesn’t contain any double bond between carbons in their molecular structure is known as saturated fatty acid. They are also incapable of absorbing hydrogen in their molecular structure thus the name.

Saturated fatty acids are generally found in animal fats like butter, milk and dairy products. Because of the higher melting point of those fatty acids, they are generally found in solid state at reem temperature.
