Answer:
b. insertion of a cannula into the external iliac vein
Explanation:
A saphenous cutdown refers to a skin incision associated with insertion of a cannula into the external iliac vein.
It is a more invasive method of exposing the saphenous vein. A cut is made into the skin which is not very deep. A part of vein is exposed which is then cut out for the insertion of cannula. It does not stop the flow of blood, instead it just changes the course. It is also known as the circulatory blood flow.
Can not be determined
BMR is known as Basal Metabolic Rate which requires information about person's height, weight, age and gender to determine the number of calories burned by a person in a day.
But here only number of calories i.e. 1300 is given which is not enough to find out Alex's Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) as there is no detail about his height, weight and age is given.
Average BMR in the USA:
For Women it is 1493 calories.
For Men it is 1662 calories.
BMR is different from BMI (Body Mass Index) because to find out body mass index only the data related to height and weight is required.
