Answer: A. Ascending and transverse colons

Explanation:

The ascending and transverse colons will be impaired due to injury because   Blood from the superior mesenteric artery and parasympathic nerve fibres from the vagus nerve is collected by the ascending and transverse colon.

However, blood from the lower mesenteric artery and parasympathic nerve fibres from the pelvic splanchnic nerve originating from sacral spinal nerves (S2-S4) is provided by the descending and sigmoid colons.

Hence, the correct answer is  A. "Ascending and transverse colons".

List and describe three external influences that may affect how a person feels about himself
skad [1K]
Family - would be a big one.  It's a person's social environment in which they are the most influenced.  This environment is where an individual learns values, develops his personality and opinions as well as attitudes the world and on themselves.

Peers - When you are a teen to young adult, you begin to notice differences in your peers and maybe compare them to yourself.  

Experience - If you're had successes, you'll tend to feel good about yourself.  If you've experienced lots of failures, you'll feel less confident about yourself.

Media and Advertising - The people in advertisements can tend to be seen as the standard of beauty, and/or size.  

Trauma - Experiencing types of trauma in life could cause a person to develop a negative self-concept.  

Health - Some may have health problems that require them to need the assistance of others.  This could cause them to feel bad about themselves for having to be a burden or feelings of inadequacy.

Economic Status - Individuals in a lower economic status may feel low about their situation.  If they aren't able to afford the newest shoes and clothing, or have the nicest things, they may feel somewhat invaluable or worthless.  Ones from a higher economic status may feel good about themselves.  They have nice clothing, nice vehicles, nice homes, and are probably popular so that attracts compliments and makes them feel relevant.

How can you respond to this type of emergency? You come in and find your boss on the floor. He is unresponsive but is breathing
mina [271]
If I disliked him I would let him lie there.. (jk ofc).

Answer: First step is I would calm down and not panic and try waking him up, if that didn’t work. I would call the ambulance while trying to do CPR, and continue doing CPR until they got there. And let them handle it. When he is in the hospital I would let my co-workers know and control everything. Once he or she is better I would welcome him back and continue working, whilst still checking on him.

(Hope this helped, please give me brainliest if so, if not please let me know what I gotten wrong, also if you need any more help let me know!)
