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)

True or False: The oxidation process occurring in the liver rids the bloodstream of 32% of the alcohol present.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Oxidation process occurring in liver rids bloodstream of not 32% of alcohol present.

Once the alcohol enters the body, 5 percent of it is excreted in the form of the urine and another 5 percent is eliminated from the body by exhaling and the rest of  the alcohol is converted to acetic acid by oxidation.

Thus,

Oxidation process occurring in liver rids bloodstream of 90% of alcohol present.

1. How many trials did it take for half of the Virtualium atoms to decay?
Elis [28]

Answer:

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. Taking one atom of 14C, this will either have decayed after 5,730 years, or it will not. But if this experiment is repeated again and again, it will be seen that the atom decays within the half life 50% of the time.
