Why do you think there are fewer heart transplants performed each year than kidney transplants?

Biology

alexandr1967 [171]3 years ago
6 0

<span>This is because, people, generally, have two kidneys and are also able to function properly with one functional kidney. Therefore it is easier to perform kidney surgery without putting the patient’s life at risk as compared to heart surgery. Everyone has one heart, a critical organ whose surgery has to be well planned and done only if the risk of not doing the surgery outweighs that of doing the surgery. </span>

Why do humans, as one of many on this planet, have the greatest potential to impact all other species?
sdas [7]
Because our brains are the most developed out of all of the other species on this planet. Also, we require the most maintenance to survive. We can’t live in the ocean, such as a fish, shark, dolphin, etc. but we also can’t live in the forest such as bears, deer, coyotes, etc. we need to live in a stable environment when we will have enough food to survive as well to live in certain temperatures that are best suited for our kind. Hopefully that helped a little bit

For the purposes of medical treatment only, the categories of drugs that can be legally prescribed listed from most to least res
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

d) II, III, IV, V, Rx, OTC

Explanation:

Based on its potential lethality, harm, addiction potential etc. drugs can be divided into five groups (drug schedule). Schedule I drugs are most restrictive and are not used in treatment and have extremely high addiction potential (heroin, for example). They are illegal substances and are not used in medical treatment. Going down to schedule V drugs are becoming less and less harmful and restricted with less potential for abuse.

Rx drugs are the ones that require a prescription in order to be purchased in the pharmacy.

OTC drugs are, so-called "over the counter" drugs, which can be purchased without prescription, making them the least restrictive.

So, the correct streak, from most to least restrictive drug, is:

II -> III -> IV -> V -> Rx -> OTC

During the transmission of signals across a neuromuscular junction, which of the following happens last?
guapka [62]

A neuromuscular junction (or myoneural junction) is a chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber.[1] It is at the neuromuscular junction that a motor neuron is able to transmit a signal to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction.

Muscles require innervation to function—and even just to maintain muscle tone, avoiding atrophy. Synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction begins when an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal of a motor neuron, which activates voltage-dependent calcium channels to allow calcium ions to enter the neuron. Calcium ions bind to sensor proteins (synaptotagmin) on synaptic vesicles, triggering vesicle fusion with the cell membrane and subsequent neurotransmitter release from the motor neuron into the synaptic cleft. In vertebrates, motor neurons release acetylcholine (ACh), a small molecule neurotransmitter, which diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on the cell membrane of the muscle fiber, also known as the sarcolemma. nAChRs are ionotropic receptors, meaning they serve as ligand-gated ion channels. The binding of ACh to the receptor can depolarize the muscle fiber, causing a cascade that eventually results in muscle contraction.

Neuromuscular junction diseases can be of genetic and autoimmune origin. Genetic disorders, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, can arise from mutated structural proteins that comprise the neuromuscular junction, whereas autoimmune diseases, such as myasthenia gravis, occur when antibodies are produced against nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the sarcolemma.
