2. Explain why people with poorly controlled diabetes are at risk for amputation

Biology

mestny [16]3 years ago

People with poorly controlled diabetes are at risk of amputation due to damage of nerves in the extremities of the body. This damage to nerves is caused by chronically  high blood sugar. The condition, when it is caused by uncontrolled blood sugar is called diabetic neuropathy.<span>Diabetic neuropathy mostly affects the feet and they lose feeling, such that an affected person cannot  sense pain. When they develop an ulcer or small injury to the feet, it may often go unnoticed and with time become infected.  High blood sugar impairs  the normal healing process and the injury or ulcer may not heal quickly thus compounding the problem. The outcome of this is that the infected part e.g. a toe, may fester and even become gangrenous putting the whole bod at risk and thus the only away to save the rest of the body is removal by amputation.</span>

Which statement best describes how the structure of the alveoli allows the lungs to function properly
zlopas [31]

Out of the following given choices;

a. they increase the amount of energy transferred from the lungs to the blood

b. they increase the flexibility of the lungs as they expand during inhalation

c. they increase the volume of the lungs, allowing more oxygen to be inhaled

d. they increase the surface area of the lungs, allowing the efficient gas exchange

The answer is D. Due to their microscopic nature, they are numerous in the lungs and are also circular-shaped so as to increase the surface area for gaseous exchange. Other characteristics of alveoli that increase gas exchange are that they thinned-walled (with only a layer of cells) and moist.
