Answer:

Using the scanner allows accurate diagnoses to be obtained. The procedure is not invasive, and adds points to the quality of care given to animals.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive and safe technique for measuring and correlating brain activities during normal as well as sick conditions. Measure changes in the blood flow of the brain.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a study that detects the electrical activity of the brain using small fixed electrodes. Brain cells communicate through electrical impulses and are active all the time.

Explanation:

With the scanner the body of the patients can be observed internally, without opening them. Unlike ultrasound and radiography, it favors the virtual tour through each of the organs. Thanks to this reconstruction of bi and three-dimensional images, the analysis of blood vessels and respiratory tract is possible. Another aid of the use of the scanner is the detection of pathologies in the bone tissue. It can be used to follow up on certain clinical treatments.

FMRI is a technique used in radiology that produces high-resolution images with good contrast between various brain tissues. The change in blood flow is a very sensitive indicator of altered nerve activity.

An EEG is able to determine changes in brain activity that may be useful for diagnosing brain disorders, especially epilepsy or other seizure disorders. An EEG can also be useful for diagnosing or treating the following disorders:

• Brain tumor

• Brain damage from head injuries

• Brain dysfunctions that can have various causes (encephalopathy)

• Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis)

the one highlighted WAS my answer but it was marked wrong. Please help.. I'm very grateful for an answer.

Sodium and potassium are involved in action potential. Sodium ions flow into the cell through ion channels and cause depolarization, where the potential of the cell is higher than the cell's resting potential. Then the sodium ion channels close, and potassium is released from the cell, returning it to its resting state.

Hope this helps!

Eat breakfast and arrive to your testing area early.

Absolutely don't
try to cram unless you certainly know you can absorb and retain the information that you're trying to cram in at the last minute. You will only be overwhelmed.

Why is that surface area:Volume ratio so important? (About cells and microscopes)
OLga [1]

Answer:It affects the diffusion across a membrane

Explanation:

Since this is placed in the AP section, I assume it is AP Biology, which the syllabus puts emphasis on diffusion

The smaller the ratio is, the bigger the cell. SO, if the ratio is small enough, the molecule will not be able to diffuse through the membrane. Keep that in mind when you calculate different rations using the radius.
