DNA is the primary cell structure that when damaged, starts the process of cancer formation

All cancer formation starts with changes within the genes (DNA) of one cell or groups of cells in the body. Genes are composed of long strings of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that carries genetic instructions used by cells for growth and reproduction. During cell replication, mutation (alteration or change in the DNA) may occur. This will make the cell not to understand the genetic instructions of the DNA and begin to grow out of control. This damage to the DNA (genes) can make normal cells to keep dividing and turn into a cancer cell.

In ventricular fibrillation, the ventricles twitch randomly instead of beating. This condition causes death within minutes if no
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Ventricular fibrillation a type of arrhythmia characterized by a very fast heart rate which causes no blood to reach vital organs causing cardiac arrest.While Atrial fibrillation is an atrial tachyarrhythmia characterized by the fact that the atria beat in an uncoordinated way at a very high rate that exceeds 350 beats per minute. As a result, the atria are no longer effective in pumping blood to the ventricles.

Explanation:

Under normal conditions the heart contracts rhythmically and synchronously. This contraction is the result of an electrical impulse that is generated in the atrium, reaches the ventricle and results in a heartbeat. In an arrhythmia there is an alteration of this mechanism that leads to the heart not contracting regularly, generating a rhythm disorder. The contraction of the ventricles pumps blood to the rest of the body. In ventricular fibrillation, the heart rhythm is very fast and chaotic (up to 300 beats per minute) and is characterized by not being able to provoke an efficient heart beat. Thus, the lack of contraction of the ventricles causes the blood to barely be pumped from the heart, producing a collapse of the cardiovascular system and cardiac arrest. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by disorganized and very rapid atrial activity (350-600 beats / min). This leads to an irregular ventricular response (150-200 beats / min) and an irregular pulse.During atrial fibrillation, the atrial contraction that helps fill the ventricles with blood is lost; this can significantly reduce cardiac output, particularly in patients with mitral stenosis, hypertension, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.It is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism (formation of blood clots in the heart that can dislodge and go through the bloodstream until impacted on the a blood vessel, causing lack of irrigation in that area) and therefore stroke (cerebral thromboembolic accident).

mina [271]

Answer:

The answer is - Cognitive

Explanation:

Earlier psychologists were once known as structuralists. Structuralism was considered to be the first school of psychology which was described as a theory of consciousness. The foundation of Structuralism were created by Wundt Wilhelm and expanded on by his student Edward Bradford Titchener. Early scientists therefore where called structuralists.

However in contemporary psychology today, the term used to describe psychologist with similar interest to structuralism is Cognitive psychology as the both deal with the mind and consciousness.
