Answer: a. too much acetylcholine staying in the neuromuscular junction for too long
Explanation:
Sarin is a gaseous organophosphate. This gas is used for chemical warfare. This affects the nervous system of the body. The gas if inhaled can cause death within minutes.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter molecule. It is released from the pre-synaptic neurons that binds to the acetylcholine receptors.
The gas sarin will target the enzyme acetylcholinesterase present in the neuromuscular junction of the body where the nerves actually meet the muscles. The enzyme degrades nerve signaling molecule acetylcholine. Thus when the sarin degrades the enzyme the levels of acetylcholine will rise up in the blood. The acetylcholine remain in the neuromuscular junction. The acetylcholine will stimulate the nerve cell receptors. Excess of acetylcholine will cause excessive twitching and may lead to paralysis.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Accumulation of air in the pleural space is known as pneumothorax.
Explanation:
The pneumothorax is the air inlet in the interpleural space: between the visceral and parietal pleura.
It causes a pulmonary collapse of greater or lesser magnitude, with its corresponding impact on the patient's respiratory and hemodynamic mechanics, where the origin may be external (perforation in the rib cage) or internal (perforation in a lung).
Answer:
This could go either way, depending on how you look at it, but I would probably lean towards false because they aren't the <em>exact </em>same.
Explanation:
The principles of CPR (compressing the chest and giving rescue breaths) are the same for children and infants as for adults. However, the CPR techniques are slightly different since children's and infants' bodies are smaller. One must be much more careful when giving CPR to a child due to them being more fragile.
