Answer:

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2.

Explanation:

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is one of the eight B vitamins that are essential for human health, which are all water soluble. It is a vitamin found in food and used as a dietary supplement. It is involved in many processes in the body and is necessary for normal cell growth and function. It can be found in certain foods such as milk and other dairy products, meat, eggs, mushrooms, nuts, almonds, enriched flour, and green vegetables. Riboflavin is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins in vitamin B complex products. Some people take riboflavin by mouth to prevent low levels of riboflavin (riboflavin deficiency) in the body, for various types of cancer, and for migraine headaches. It is also taken by mouth for acne, muscle cramps, burning feet syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and blood disorders such as congenital methemoglobinemia and red blood cell aplasia. Some people use riboflavin for eye conditions including eye fatigue, cataracts, and glaucoma.

Riboflavin was discovered in 1920, isolated in 1933, and first made in 1935. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system. Riboflavin is available as a generic medication and over the counter.

How are reaction times involved in maintain homeostasis for the body?
BaLLatris [955]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Homeostasis refers to the internal body system that helps to regulate our internal body environment, such as our temperature, blood pressure, etc.

By means of<em> internal sensors</em> which monitor when there is a change in our normal body condition, these reaction times occur for example:

  • when we are triggered by our body to go and dehydrate (urinate) in the restroom,
  • or maybe when we begin to sweat heavily after performing physical activity, those tiny droplets of sweat helps cool our body down.

All these automatic responses help us maintain homeostasis in our body.

Why does it cost so much to build a hospital? The spare feet cost is much higher than in other places. 800 million dollars for 5
belka [17]
Is this just a general question? if so, it probably costs more due to the fact that certain codes must be met to build a hospital, it also is more expensive due to the material that has to be used to meet those codes.  However, the location of the hospital can greatly affect the pricing ( like the city it resides in and where in that city it is located )
