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.

When a tick transfers Lyme disease from a deer to a human, the tick is considered the ________ in the chain of infection
melisa1 [442]

The tick is considered the vector in the chain of infection.

Generally, vector organisms are organisms that are capable of transmitting disease pathogens from infected organisms to uninfected ones either directly or indirectly as a result of their activities.

Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of vertebrate animals such as deers and humans. When they feed on the blood of animals with certain infections, the pathogens for such infections are sometimes carried in the guts of the parasites and these are transferred to the bloodstream of the next animal that would be their host.

A good example of this is Lyme disease.
