A PET scan uses radioactive markers in the blood to monitor blood flow and metabolic activity via x-ray
Explanation;
-A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how the tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.
-A PET scan is used to diagnose certain health conditions, to plan treatment, to find out how an existing condition is developing, and to see how effective a treatment is.
-In a PET scan, a machine detects radiation that is emitted by a radiotracer. A radiotracer consists of radioactive material that is tagged to a natural chemical, such as glucose.
The chromosomal sex of the embryo is established at fertilization. However, 6 weeks elapse in humans before the first signs of sex differentiation are noticed. Sex differentiation involves a series of events whereby the sexually indifferent gonads and genitalia progressively acquire male or female characteristics.
Most human cells are diploid, and only the gametes (i.e., the sperm and egg cells) are haploid. Haploid cells contain half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells. A human diploid cell contains a total of 46 chromosomes (2n = 46), so a haploid cell will contain 23 chromosomes (n = 23).
