Answer:    A. Anticonvulsants

Explanation:  Nuropathic pain, or as doctors call it invisible pain, is associated with damage to the nerves, the nervous system. More specifically, it is a damage to the substance that surrounds the nerves, this substance is called myelin.  Neuropathic pain can occur in both the peripheral and central nervous systems, and can be the result of injury that causes damage to myelin or some disease.

Anticonvulsants are used to reduce neuropathic pain, acting as, let's say, calm effect on the nerves, i.e. reducing their sensitivity, which occurs due to damage of mylelin.

Nuetrik [128]
When the two waves meet, there are two possibilities:

1.If the waves were both in phase and moving in the same direction, then, the amplitude will double, this is called constructive interference.
2. If the two waves were exactly out of phase, then they will try to move the water surface in all directions, thus, no movement and the waves cancel out. This is called destructive interference.

rusak2 [61]

It is released by the bacteria called <em>Bordetella pertusis. </em>The G-proteins are affected by the action of pertusis toxin. The production to the excess level of cAMP due to the conversion of ATP into cAMP the ribosylation of the ADP molecules occurs due to pertusis toxin. This leads to the damage of G-proteins.

Compared to freshwater fishes, marine fishes: drink seawater and produce a large volume of urine. do not drink seawater in an ef
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The correct answer is - tend to lose water by osmosis since their internal salt concentration is lower than that of seawater.

Explanation:

In freshwater fishes, the body of fishes has a higher salt concentration inside their body than the surrounding water, water enters through the osmosis process. Without any active regulation of this process, fishes would swell and get bigger and bigger. They have specialized cells called chloride cells in gills to take ions from water as they do not have kidneys.

In contrast, the marine fishes have a lower salt concentration in their body than surrounding water of sea or ocean and they lose water continuously and to compensate for this they need to drink water regularly.
