Arteriosclerosis is a general term for the hardening of arteries and a loss of elasticity in arterial walls. Atherosclerosis is specifically a condition where arteries harden as a result of plaque buildup on artery walls. Both conditions result in poor and inefficient blood flow through arteries, which can lead to blood clots or ruptures in the blood vessels of the heart or brain. Blockages in the heart can result in heart attacks; blockages and ruptures in the brain lead to strokes.

Which person would need more body fat than the others? a. A pregnant woman b. A high school basketball player c. A professional
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is: A) a pregnant woman.

Explanation:

Bodybuilders in particular need the lower body fat percentage possible in order to succeed in their career, since most of their bodies must be muscle. Professional ballet dancers need to be light and skinny to be able to perform their dance moves and to be lifted by their partners; a basketball player also needs a lower fat percentage and a higher muscle mass percentage to be able to play at his best; and a ranch hand as well needs to not be packing that much fat in order to make his job easier.

Pregnant women, however, need body fat to have healthy pregnancies. This doesn't mean that they do not need to take care of themselves, because a higher body fat than what it's needed can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and can difficult the pregnancy.

babymother [125]

Answer:

According to what has been investigated the option that should be supported by more scientific evidence: In psoriasis plaques, there are fewer T-cell clones, but there are often a large number of T-cells representing only a small number of clones (this is called oligoclonal expansion).

Explanation:

Oligoclonal expansion does not occur only in this pathology, it also occurs in other recurrent diseases such as multiple sclerosis, this phenomenon is widely studied and little discovered in some aspects and is mainly based on both tcd4 and tcd8 and b lymphocytes.

In this case, the presence of ltcd4 in psoriasis is very versatile and depends on the patient's immune response, which is why more scientific evidence is needed on this topic, based mostly on meta-analyzes.
