Answer:

The upper lateral quadrant.

Explanation:

The breast is a glandular and fatty tissue that lies on the top of the pectoral muscles of the chest. It is made up of fatty tissues, glands, and connective tissue ligaments that attach it to the muscles.

The glands are the functional units as they are where the milk is produced. These glands are divided into 15 to 20 lobes of glands demarcated by fatty and connective tissues. Each lobe is made up of lobules where milk is produced. They are various ducts that carry the milk and they open up on the nipple.

The breast is usually divided into four imaginary quadrants during clinical examination. The upper lateral quadrant has an extension of breast tissues into the armpit. This is referred to as the Tail of Spence or axillary tail.

The tail of Spence has axillary lymph nodes around it and plays a key role in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

LIttle Jimmy Brown's blood typing results showed agglutination with both the plasma containing anti A and anti B antibodies. Wha
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Jimmy's blood type: "O" Blood

Jimmy can receive blood from: O blood type only.

Explanation:

The anti-A antibodies are present in the plasma of "B" blood type. Similarly, the blood type "A" has anti-B antibodies in its plasma. Since Jimmy's blood is showing agglutination with both "A" and "B" blood type, he has "O" blood type.

The "O" blood type has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in its plasma and exhibits agglutination with both A and B blood type. The "A" antigen of "A" blood type reacts with anti A antibodies of jimmy's blood while "B" antigen of "B" blood type would exhibit agglutination with "anti B antibodies" of Jimmy's blood. He can get blood from "O" blood type only as he has both anti-A and anti B antibodies in his blood plasma.

Which mineral would be found in greatest concentration in the plasma of the marathon runners?
andre [41]
The right answer is E. Sodium  (with 140mmol/L)

Sodium is the most important element in the blood and extracellular liquids of the body.The needs of an adult subject are of the order of 1 to 2 g of sodium per day. The normal diet is much richer than our actual needs, about 4g, so it can largely compensate for the needs of an athlete or a runner.
Losses are majoritarly by feces and sweat. The kidney is able to reabsorb almost all the sodium that is filtered: urinary losses can be tiny.
