<h2>Atelectasis</h2>

Explanation:

Definition: A respiratory complication due to partial or complete collapse of a part of a lung or an entire lung. Lungs are filled with tiny air sacs termed alveoli. When alveoli are deflated due to alveolar fluid accumulation, collapse of the lung takes place. Due to deflation of air sacs, the lung volume decreases which leads to respiratory difficulties.

Etiology: Mucous plug, foreign body, tumor, chest trauma, pleural effusion, pneumonia, etc

Clinical manifestation: Shallow, rapid, difficult or labored breathing; wheezing or cough; pneumonia; dyspnea, pleuritic pain

Evaluation by: X-ray, chest CT scan, bronchoscopy, oximetry, thorax ultrasound

Medication: Include

Bronchodilators to induce sputum expectoration and provide lung ventilation
Antibiotics in case of any infection
Other medications depending upon the underlying medical condition if any
Treatments like incentive spirometry, CPAP, chest physiotherapy, postural drainage etc can be done to treat atelectasis.

Describe the intracellular events that occur when a population of wild type ( lac+) escherichia coliis transferred from a medium

denis23 [38]

The lac repressor protein is bound to the operator region of the lac operon when there is no lactose in the medium. When introduced in lactose, it binds to an allosteric site on the repressor causing its to change conformation and release from the operator. This allows the polymerase that is bound to the promoter region to proceed transcription of the lac operon genes (LacZ, Lac A, and Lac Y). Translation of these genes forms enzymes that enable the organism to break down lactose for energy.

Explain how negative feedback affects the bodies hormones.

Vsevolod [243]

Insulin causes blood glucose levels to drop, which signals the pancreas to stop producing insulin in a negative feedback loop. Hormonal stimuli refer to the release of a hormone in response to another hormone. A number of endocrine glands release hormones when stimulated by hormones released by other endocrine organs.

Pulmonary arteries transport ________.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

I would say this because the pulmonary circulation only transports deoxygenated blood. And this blood gets transported to the lungs so the lungs can absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. I am not sure about this one though. This is what I think.
