Answer: anabolic steroids.

Anabolic steroids are synthetic forms of the male hormone testosterone that are used to cause muscle hypertrophy (increase in the size of skeletal muscle and its component cells).

Anabolic steroids are synthetic forms of the male hormone testosterone that are used to cause muscle hypertrophy.

It is properly knowns as anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS). They are anabolic in nature and increases the protein found within the cells especially in the skeletal muscles. It also has varying degrees of androgenic and virilizing effect which includes inducing the development and maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics such as facial and hair body growth.

In the 1930s AAS were synthesized and are recently used as a therapeutic medicine to stimulate muscle growth, increase appetite, induce puberty in males and treat wasting conditions among cancer and AIDS patients. It was also acknowledged by the American College of Sports Medicine that AAS, when joined with an adequate diet, can contribute to increasing the body weight, often as lean mass increases and the gains in muscular strength are achieved by doing high-intensity workout and proper diet.

GuDViN [60]

To confirm the above hypothesis, Maria should perform an experiment to prove that xylem is responsible for the transport of coloured water through the plant. This is called the ascent of sap.

A suitable plant having a tender, semitransparent stem should be selected. The root system of the plant should be cut off and the twig has to be placed half-immersed in a coloured solution of water for about one hour. Later, when the plant is observed, parallely running streaks of coloured water can be seen through the semitransparent stem and other parts of the plant indicating that the xylem is involved in the upward movement of water.

Many drugs can be applied to the skin without entering the blood. how is this fact explained?
ra1l [238]

*A drug administered by the cutaneous route can have one of these three actions:

Local action, superficial: ex. local anesthetic ...

Deep action: ex. anti-inflammatory action ...

Systemic or general action: ex. anti-anginal action

*The skin is a very effective barrier, which limits the number of drugs that can enter the system.

*The factor influencing the penetration of the drugs are:

- Nature and physicochemical properties of P.A: Molecular weight, hydrophilicity, lipophilicity, stability ...

- Formulation of the drug: Excipients lipophilic, hydrophilic, amphiphilic, an absorption promoter

- Nature and condition of the skin, Location, age, thickness (1 to 8 mm ...), vascularization...

*To not penetrate the skin, a drug should have to be of high molecular mass (to be unable to penetrate through the skin tissue), hydrophilic (since the skin is of a lipophilic nature).

*For example, solar creams should not enter the system so the excipients used are hydrophilic in nature.

QUESTION 10
ehidna [41]

Answer:

B. VESSELS, HEART, CIRCULATING FLUID.

Explanation:

Blood is the circulating fluid. It is the connective tissue of liquid plasma and cells.

Heart is a muscular pump to move the blood and have it circulate throughout the body of living animals.

Blood vessels are arteries, capillaries and veins that deliver blood to all tissues.

The Circulatory System has two types. They are the open circulatory system and the close circulatory system.

An open circulatory system is one where the blood does not circulate inside blood vessels  but also flows into cavities that irrigate tissues.

A close circulatory system is one where the blood circulate only inside the blood vessels.
