If the blood pressure in your brain is 120 mm when you are lying down, what would it be when you stand up? Assume that your brai

n is 40 cm from your heart and that rho = 1060 kg/m3 for your blood. Note: Normally, your blood vessels constrict and expand to keep your brain blood pressure stable when you change your posture.

Answer:

The correct answer is 88.84 mmHg.

Explanation:

The pressure differential between the brain and the heart while standing up will be 120 - rho × g (gravity) × h, here h is the distance from the brain to the heart. The h is 40 cm or 0.4 m.  

rho×g×h = 1060 kg/m³×9.8 m/s²×0.4m  

= 4155 Pa  

Now converting Pa to mmHg we get:  

4155 Pa × 760 mmHg / 1.01325 × 10⁵ Pa  

= 31.16 mmHg  

Thus, the pressure in the brain now is 120 - 31.16  

= 88.84 mmHg (hypotension)

The nurse should first select an area to perform the hyphodermoclysis, outside of the elbow is usual but the back of the hand is fine too. Then the nurse must apply a tourniquet 10 cm before the selected area, so it blocks blood circulation. After feeling the vein stand out in the selected area, said area must be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Then the nurse should introduce the needle connected to the catheter in the outstanding vein, following along the anatomy of the patient against the normal bloodstream direction, so the needle stays almost parallel to the vein while inserted. Finally the nurse must fix the needle to the arm using medical adhesive, and remove the tourniquet.

The red kernel color in wheat is caused by the presence of at least one dominant allelefrom each of two independently segregatin
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

100% red kernel color

Explanation:

R_B_ = Red kernel color

R_bb and rrB_ = yellow kernel color

rrbb = white kernel color

True breeding red kernel x true breeding white kernel = RRBB x rrbb

F1 genotype ratio = 100% RrBb

F1 phenotype ratio = 100% red kernel color plant.

<em>The expected phenotype of the F1 plant is 100% red kernel color.</em>
