Answer:

factitious disorder imposed on another

Explanation:

  • Factitious disorder imposed on another is a psychological disorder in which a person who is taking care of another person acts and creates a situation that leads people to believe that the person in care is sick when in reality they are not.
  • A person who is taking care of another person can either deliberately cause the person in care to become sick or can either lie about it.
  • People use this to gain sympathy for all the hard work they are putting in to take care of the person and often exaggerate the illness.
  • In the given situation, Jack who is taking care of his father is also resorting to deceptive means to make his father sick and is enjoying the attention he gets due to his sickness and thus, he is suffering from factitious disorder imposed on another.

Where does the waste material in the body come from and why does the body need to get rid of these waste materials?
Marizza181 [45]
"Waste" -- in the form of urine and feces -- how the body removes the parts of food we ingest that is not used for nutrition and also is a way to rid the body of toxins. The kidneys filter the blood, removing "waste" products such as excess vitamins or drugs (this is why your urine can have a bright color if you take high doses of vitamin c) and liquid waste is held in the bladder before being released. Food travels through the gut to be digested -- broken down into usable bits and waste. After breaking down in the stomach, the material travels through the small and large intestines. The small intestine is lined with villi -- tiny protrusions that add surface area so nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. In the large intestine and colon, water is pulled from the mass so it becomes more solid. Eventually the solidified waste passed through the rectum and out the anus as feces. The build-up of waste in the body can itself be toxic -- if the kidneys do not function properly to clean the waste out, the buildup can be fatal. When the body goes into emergency mode to eliminate a toxic substance -- such as e. Coli in the case of food poisoning -- the intestines don't both absorbing water and the result is the liquid fecal matter being quickly passed through and ejected as diarrhea.

How does crystal size compare in extrusive vs. intrusive rock? Explain the cause of this difference
Ede4ka [16]
The difference between extrusive and intrusive rocks are how they cool down. Extrusive rocks cool down quickly and are created by lava; because of this they have very small, fine-grained crystals. Intrusive rocks cool slowly beneath the surface of the earth and are created by magma; because the cooling process is very slow the rocks have very large crystals.
