Option B

Middle colic arteries is the most likely additional  source of blood to the descending colon

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The middle colic artery is a section of the superior mesenteric artery. Middle Colic provides the transverse colon, has a branch that runs to the right colon and branch that persists to the left colon that catches up with the left colic artery and proceeds as the marginal artery to provide the descending colon.

The left gastroepiploic artery is one of the sections of the splenic artery. Sigmoid- branch off IMA so barred in this case Splenic- proceeds of the celiac trunk, branches accumulation spleen & pancreas Superior Rectal- a sequence of IMA not possible to participate in this case

The middle colic artery can supply the descending colon in case the inferior mesenteric artery is blocked.

Explanation:

In the intestines, the inferior mesentery artery supplies one-third portion of the transverse, descending and sigmoid colon on the left side.

The superior mesentery artery is divided into many branches like the middle colic artery. The middle colic artery after supplying the transverse colon divides into the left and right branches.

The left branch of the middle colic artery anastomoses (of the SMA) with the left colic artery (of the IMA) and supplies the descending colon. Hence, in case the origin of the IMA is blocked, the middle colic artery of the SMA can still supply to the descending colon.

Moreover, the patient does not have intestinal angina which usually occurs when the SMA is blocked. Since the SMA is not blocked, its branch middle colic artery can supply the descending colon.

The left gastroepiploic and splenic artery supplies the spleen, superior rectal artery supplies the rectal region.

N76 [4]

Answer;

-Endocytosis

Explanation;

-Endocytosis includes; phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor mediated: Endocytosis brings substances into the cell, plasma membrane surrounds the substances to be taken in, encloses them in a membrane-bound sac (vesicle) and brings them into the cell

-Phagocytosis: endocytosis of large solid particles (“cell eating”)

-Pinocytosis: endocytosis of extracellular fluid that contains dissolved solutes (“cell drinking”)

-Receptor-mediated: highly selective, ligands bind to specific receptor proteins on the plasma membrane and are then taken into the cell

-Exocytosis: the reverse of endocytosis: substances are removed from the cell; vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and release their contents into the extracellular fluid; important in nerve cells to release neurotransmitter and secretory cells to release cell products (ex. digestive enzymes, protein hormones).

CLASS.

Family:

A que distancia se encuentra una gaviota respecto del nivel del mar?​
REY [17]

Answer:

Para determinar la distancia a la que se encuentra una gaviota respecto del nivel del mar, es necesario medir la altura a la que se encuentra volando. Así, dado que el nivel del mar tiene una altura considerada como de 0 metros, si la gaviota está volando a unos 500 metros de altura, por ejemplo, esa será su distancia respecto del nivel del mar.
