Biology

andrezito [222]3 years ago
4 0

If we pick small intestine as and organ we can observe its large the surface area/volume ratio. The ration between surface and volume is important, because it impact the function of the organ. In this case, small intestine absorbs the nutrients more efficiently. The surface of the small intestine is increased due to finely wrinkled internal surface and convoluted surface composed of the microvilli (cellular membrane extensions for better absorption).

A) planets with long orbits

*all planets in groups 1 and 2 revolve around the sun!
*planets in groups 1 and 2 have moons
*group 2 have the fastest rotations

Our solar system is divided into two sections, the first section being the inner planets consisting of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
The second section consists of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

A population of 1,000 healthy, at risk people is monitored for one year starting on January 1st, and the development of cases of
masha68 [24]

Answer:

\mathbf{cummulative \ incidence = \dfrac{60}{1000}}

Explanation:

We recognize that total occurrence equals new cases of disease over time divided by the number of people at risk at the onset.

Mathematically:

\mathbf{cummulative \ incidence = \dfrac{New \ cases \ of \ disease \ occurrence}{Number  \ of \ population \ at \ risk \ at \ onset}}

Given that:

Number of the population at risk = 1000 individuals

New cases during Jan 1 - Dec 31 = 60 because;

At 20 occurred on June 30 & 40 on Sept. 30) & no new cases were identified after that:

∴

\mathbf{cummulative \ incidence = \dfrac{60}{1000}}

What is the origin of etiology of asthma
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Asthma is a chronic disease of the lung that has been increasing at an alarming rate in industrialized countries around the world over the last few decades. Although considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of the disease, the exact causes of the increasing prevalence are unknown. Studies suggest that most asthma develops in early childhood and that environmental factors present early in life may be crucial in the development of disease. One potential explanation for the recent epidemic referred to as the "hygiene hypothesis" postulates that factors that have resulted in a reduction in exposure to microbial products and/or infections in the western world may be contributing to this rise in disease prevalence. As early life influences are known to play an important role in establishment of asthma, studies have focused on the interface between mother and child that occurs during gestation and through breastfeeding. In this regard, the body of evidence regarding the relationship between breastfeeding and asthma indicates benefit but with the potential for risk. While providing population-level protection from infections and atopy in infancy and early childhood, breastfeeding might also pose an increased risk of atopic asthma among children with asthmatic mothers.
