It is possible for a cell to make proteins that last for months; hemoglobin in red blood cells is a good example. however, many

The cells of the body are perfectly capable of making proteins with a life span of many months, still the cells make proteins which are short-lived. On one hand, they make proteins like hemoglobin having a life span of approximately 120 days, and on the other hand, it makes proteins with life span of few days, such as a tumor suppressor protein. The short lived proteins have their own advantage, as they allow the cells to control their function, and amount precisely.

A client had an arm cast fitted after suffering a right humeral fracture in a hockey game. the client reported a loss of sensati
Bond [772]
In humeral fractures, the main nerves in the arm may have been damaged or compressed (by the cast) after manual reduction. The sensory nerve involved in this case is the musculocutaneous nerve which provide sensation in the hands, particularly here in the right hand. Compression by the cast interrupts nerve impulses in the musculocutaneous nerve owing to the loss of sensation and the removal of cast relieves the compression therefore there is regain of sensation.

When would lactic-acid fermentation take place in the human body?
AlladinOne [14]
Lactic fermentation occurs in many organisms, but only during a specific process known as anaerobic respiration. Muscles usually receive energy through a process known as cellular respiration[15], but when there is a lack of oxygen in the organism, muscles go through anaerobic respiration.



Hope this helps :) !
