Pneumonia is a leading cause of death.

Answer:

The correct answer is pneumonia.

Explanation:

The elderly suffering from pneumonia makes them susceptible to various other issues. Due to its rapid occurrence and tendency to disperse to other sections of the body, pneumonia can be lethal. Even a mild case of pneumonia results in an extreme blow to the immune system that can cause an underlying condition like a heart condition into a life-threatening problem.  

As older individuals generally possess these additional issues, any kind of pneumonia can possess dangerous consequences.

Briefly differentiate "White Matter" & "Grey Matter".
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The CNS, or central nervous system is comprised of neurons, the cell units that form it. These cells, in turn, are formed by their cell bodies, the dendrites on them and the terminal ends of the axons, which are like the connectors, or roadways, for neurons. When viewed on a microscope, brain tissue, particularly, looks stained with two different colors: grey, or pinkisk, for the grey matter, and whiter for the white matter, which are the axons. This is basically why the two are called grey matter and white matter of the CNS.

So one difference between these two matters is the color they display when viewed. The second is the parts of the neuron that form the two; while the white matter is formed from the neuronal axons, the grey matter is formed by the dendrites, cell bodies and axonal terminals. A third differentiation is that most synaptic activity takes place in the grey matter, while most conduction of information from the cell bodies is performed by the axons.
