Answer: The Doctor is treating her for Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It can be treated with Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) and pain relief drugs

Explanation:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a disorder which is caused by the compression of the median nerve located in the wrist. As Kathy continually types on the keyboard the median nerve is being compressed for a longer time causing inflammation.

Carpal Tunnel is an area in the wrist where bones and ligaments create a small passage way for the median nerve. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is therefore caused by the compression of the median nerve in the wrist. The symptoms include feelings of numbness, tingling, burning sensation over the surface of the thumb, forefinger, middle finger, half of the ring finger some feel pains from the wrist up to the arm.

They can be treated with Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) and ibuprofen to treat the inflammation and for pain relief.

What is velocity? <br>the one who answer will be marked brainliest ​
bixtya [17]

Velocity is the speed of an object moving in a definite direction. The velocity of an object can be uniform or variable. When an object moving along a straight line at variable speed, we can Express the magnitude of its rate of motion in terms of average velocity.

Average velocity=Initial velocity+Final velocity/2

The SI unit of velocity is m/s.

what do you think causes different phenotypes in organisms how does the phenotype depend on its genes (genotype)​
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

They difference in phenotypes is dependent on the genes. The more dominant gene will overpower a recessive gene, or if there are two recessive genes together, that will be the phenotype. When things are cross breaded they introduce different genotypes that allow for different looking phenotypes.

Example: Dominant blue flower (Bb)  mixed with recessive yellow flower (bb)

        B            b

b       Bb          bb

b       Bb          bb

There is a 50/50 chance the offspring will be either blue or yellow

Animals that maintain internal body temperature using heat generated by their own metabolism are called
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows :

Animals that maintain internal body temperature using heat generated by their own metabolism are called:

A)thermoregulators.

B)hibernators.

C)aerophiles.

D)endotherms.

E)dormants.

  • An animal that is capable of maintaining a body temperature that is metabolically favorable for the organism is known as an endotherm.
  • The body temperature is maintained by an endotherm by using its internal body capacity to generate heat rather than depending on the ambient temperature.
  • Some of the mechanisms used by endotherms to maintain a suitable internal body temperature include shivering, uncouple oxidative phosphorylation, sweating, flushing, etc.
  • The endotherms include birds and mammals.
  • The ability to perform endothermy is owed to the presence of a large number of mitochondria that enables the organism to increase the rate of metabolism to generate heat as and when required.

- what are two reasons why the height of clouds vary from day to day?
maksim [4K]

Some clouds form as air warms up near the Earth's surface and rises. ... That warmed air starts to rise because, when warm, it is lighter and less dense than the air around it. As it rises, its pressure and temperature drop causing water vapor to condense.

I hope this helped :)
