Health
1 answer:
vfiekz [6]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

An infusion pump is a device, which is used to deliver fluids such as medications and nutrients into a patient’s body in controlled amounts. By using the infusion pump, you will be able to deliver large or small amounts of fluids going into the patient’s body. Medications can also be transferred into the patient via the infusion pump (medications such as insulin, antibiotics, painkillers etc.)  

This is a very important development because patients that cannot take medications and nutrients via mouth are treated using the infusion pump.

Which of the following is believed to be the neural basis for learning and memory? long-term potentiation proactive interference
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Long-term potentiation

Explanation:

The learning processes can be classical conditioning and neuronal conditioning, whereas, the types of memory can be short-term or long-term. All the learning and memorizing processes in our brain depends on our ability to detect and respond to environmental changes. These responses are triggered by formation of thousand synapses in our brain among thousands of neurons responsible for signal processing and transduction. The signal processing is performed via action potential generation which either amplifies or restricts a stimulus; thus inhibiting or exciting the chemical exchange necessary for response. Long-term potentiation is the basis of learning and memory because it strengthens the synaptic activity and potentiates long-lasting signal transduction by producing high intensity action potentials. Therefore, the information keeps transferring and stored in the memory and learning centers.

2. What occurs around day 14 of the menstrual cycle?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: ovulation

Somewhere around day 14, an egg is released from one of the ovaries and begins its journey down the fallopian tubes to the uterus. If sperm are present in the fallopian tube at this time, fertilization can occur. In this case the fertilized egg will travel to the uterus and attempt to implant in the uterine wall.
