Answer:

Administering pure oxygen is a more effective treatment to carbon monoxide poisoning than just placing the victim outside.

Explanation:

It takes a large amount of oxygen to get rid of carbon monoxide from the body, and there is only 20.95% of oxygen in air. Therefore, 100% pure oxygen is required to be administered for a few hours before the carbon monoxide can be removed from the bloodstream.

Carbon Monoxide gets attached to the hemoglobin in the blood, but does not benefit the body in any way.

What level controls intermediate relay for incoming and outgoing neurons?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer;

-Projection level

-Projection level controls intermediate relay for incoming and outgoing neurons.

Explanation;

The levels of motor control include; segmental level, projection level and precommand level.

-The segmental level is the lowest level of motor hierarchy. It consists of segmental circuits of the spinal cord, Its circuits control locomotion and specific, oft-repeated motor activity. These circuits are called central pattern generators (CPGs).

The projection level consists of: Cortical motor areas that produce the direct (pyramidal) system, and Brain stem motor areas that oversee the indirect (multineuronal) system . It helps control reflex and fixed-pattern activity and houses command neurons that modify the segmental apparatus.

Precommand level; Cerebellar and basal nuclei systems that:

-Regulates motor activity, precisely start or stop movements, coordinate movements with posture, Block unwanted movements , and Monitor muscle tone.

Answer:

The correct answer is - A. Some potatoes would be more likely to have a genetic resistance to the disease and survive.

Explanation:

Genetic resistance is the capability or ability of some individual organisms of a population or species have to adapt the environmental or genetic changes and survive while other organisms of species are not able to do the same.

In this case, some of the potatoes more likely to show genetic resistance to the disease and condition and survive from the devastation of the potato blight
