Which refers to swelling as a result of inflammation?
Bad White [126]

Answer: Edema

Explanation:

The swelling that is caused as the result of inflammation is known as Edema. Just after an injury takes place the traumatized area becomes red, painful and warm. It also starts to swell.

This swelled area is also known as Edema which is caused due to acute response of acute inflammation.

This response is trigerred by the injured tissues. When the body starts healing then, change in blood flow takes place and swelling is also cured.

But sometimes it is so acute that it restricts the normal blood flow and movement of the affected area.

In regions of the cardiovascular system where there is steady laminar blood flow, the shear stress on cells lining the walls of
Lynna [10]

Answer:

250 N/m2

Explanation:

Shear stress on cells lining the walls of the blood vessels  is equal to 2020 dyne/cm2

In terms of Newton/square meter, shear stress is equal to

20*\frac{dyne}{cm^2}  (\frac{10^{-5}N}{1 dyne} )*(\frac{1 cm^2}{10^{-4}*m^2} )\\= 2.0 N/m2

Shear modulus is equal to shear stress divided by shear strain

Thus, shear modulus is equal to

= \frac{2.0}{0.008} \\= 250N/m2
