The correct answer is iron, because it is often not included in children's multivitamin/mineral supplements. Iron is an important element for our health. It is especially important for the proper functioning of our red blood cells and it is found in many foods. Although iron is essential, too much can lead to iron toxicity. Iron poisoning was the leading cause of death from the medicine overdose in children younger than 6 years until the ends of the 1990s. But the trend has since changed due to better warning labels, education of prescribers, changes in iron preparations, and consumer awareness.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Elastic fibers are composed of elastin, myofibrils and fibrillin. They are distributed <u>separately</u>, and therefore do not form bundles(they actually form a kind of mesh), like collagen fibers.

Elastic fibers are usually thin and long and can stretch up to 1.5x of their total length.

These fibers confer elasticity to the connective tissue. The mesh formed of elastic fibers easily yields to minimal tensions, returning to its original shape as soon as the deforming forces cease.

An example of the action of elastic fibers is when we pull the skin from our hands and release it, the elastic fibers are responsible for quickly returning the skin to its original shape.
