Answer and Explanation:

Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by an infection. It affects the respiratory system (lungs and throat) and causes minor injuries, which are the gateway to the pneumococcus. As a person's resistance is lower (which are in elderly people), the bacteria can multiply and end up causing an infection in the lungs.

The main symptoms are:  cough with phlegm;  high fever; shortness of breath;  chest pain;  accelerated breathing and feeling of weakness.  Older patients may not have a fever, but may have mental confusion.

If sufficient rest is taken between workout activities targeting specific muscle groups, how many sessions of the same activity
Vinvika [58]

Option d; You can perform the same exercise five times in a row without risking injury if you give yourself enough time to recover between sessions that target different muscle groups.

Contractile tissue that is organized into coordinated systems is muscle. By outward appearance and cell location, human muscular systems are categorized. Smooth, cardiac, and striated muscles make up the three different types of muscles (or nonstriated). The majority of the body's muscle tissue is made up of striated muscle, which is virtually solely connected to the skeleton. The somatic nervous system regulates the multinucleated fibers, which provide movement by applying pulls and lever-like forces to the skeleton. The sinoatrial node, the heart's pacemaker, controls the cardiac muscle's rhythmic contraction. Despite being a specialist striated muscle with several centrally positioned nuclei in elongated cells, cardiac muscle is not controlled voluntarily.
