Answer: True

Explanation:

Ischemia is the reduction in blood flow to a tissue resulting in decreased oxygen and nutrient supplies to the tissue which may lead to cell death if not reversed.

Risk factors to ischemia includes:

1. Vascular diseases

2. Trauma

3. High blood pressure

4. Tobacco

5. Physical inactivity

6. High cholesterol.

Ischemia can be acute or chronic depending on its course of action. Acute ischemia occurs when there is a sudden decrease in the flow of blood to a tissue while chronic ischemia occurs when there is a gradual decrease in blood flow to a tissue.

Ischemia can be reversible when blood flow to the tissue returns. When irreversible, it leads to cell death.

The aerobic exercise helps to increase:__________
g100num [7]

Answer:

b) Cardio respiratory

Explanation:

Just as exercise strengthens other muscles in your body, it helps your heart muscle become more efficient and better able to pump blood throughout your body. This means that the heart pushes out more blood with each beat, allowing it to beat slower and keep your blood pressure under control. Aerobic exercise boosts your good cholesterol (HDL), and lowers your bad cholesterol (LDL).

(Write short notes on)<br>(Spikenard)<br> (One-horned Rhinoceros)​
morpeh [17]

one-horned Rhinoceros

Explanation:

The greater one-horned rhinoceros is commonly found only in South Asia and South East Asia. Historically, the rhinos were distributed in the floodplain and forest tracts in Brahmaputra, Ganges and Indus river valley. Today, however, no more than 2,000 remain in the wild, with only two populations containing more than 100 rhinos: Kaziranga National Park in Assam, India (1,200) and Chitwan National Park (CNP), Nepal (600). Despite joint efforts between Bhutan and India, the survival of a small population of rhinos living along the Indo-Bhutan border in Manas still remains doubtful (Jnawali et.at, 2000).
