Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Thalamus is the portion of the brain which assess and interpret the signals from the body and send it to the specified cortical region of the brain thus it acts as a relay system of the impulse.

In the given question, the problem caused by the injury of the thalamus depend on which portion of the thalamus is injured but if the thalamus portion is injured significantly or a large portion of the thalamus is injured then it could cause coma which is considered the cause of the irreversible death of the brain.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Answer:

Tobias is most likely brain dead.

Explanation:

The thalamus is the small organ located at the base of brain and are surrounded by the ventricles. The thalamus helps in the function of the relay signalling.

The damage in the thalamus affects the signaling of the brain. This might also cause the retrograde amnesia. This might also cause impairment in the body and if the thalamus is completely damaged, the individual can be declared as the brain dead.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Explain the meaning of the statement "Think globally, act locally", and give an example of acting locally.
Ahat [919]
This simply means, when thinking about issues hat face the world today, instead of thinking about little issues that bug you or your town, think about issues affecting everyone in their daily lives, such as daylight savings and global warming. By acting locally, this means completing tasks no matter how big or small within your local area to help face these global issues. For example, acting against global warming on a local scale would be simply to educate the town or city as to what it is and how it can be prevented. Knowledge is power.
