Hi my dear friend,

Medical terminology is language used to precisely describe the human body including its components, processes, conditions affecting it, and procedures performed upon it. Medical terminology is used in the field of medicine.

Medical terminology has quite regular morphology, the same prefixes and suffixes are used to add meanings to different roots. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition. For example, in the disorder hypertension, the prefix "hyper-" means "high" or "over", and the root word "tension" refers to pressure, so the word "hypertension" refers to abnormally high blood pressure. The roots, prefixes and suffixes are often derived from Greek or Latin, and often quite dissimilar from their English-language variants. This regular morphology means that once a reasonable number of morphemes are learnt it becomes easy to understand very precise terms assembled from these morphemes. A lot of medical language is anatomical terminology, concerning itself with the names of various parts of the body.

~Thank you

The answer is the fight or flight response.

The fight or flight response is a survival mechanism in the body in the nervous system. It is how we respond to a stressful situation and is there to protect us from harm. Therefore it is not a risk factor for violence. It's our bodies natural way to protect us from violence.

The other choices are sadly all risk factors for violence.

Answer:

Fracture healing is a biological process in continuum from fracture to healed stage. It involves a sequence of dynamic events which ultimately restores the integrity of the bone and its biomechanical properties.1 Bone is the only biological tissue which heals by making bone and the rest of the tissues heal by making a different tissue. The process of healing starts immediately after injury and continues thereafter. The events take place at the cellular level and the summation of these changes are seen as healing. The fracture healing is influenced by physical, chemical and environmental factors.2

Compare and contrast retinal disparity and convergence depth cues.

Lapatulllka [165]

Depth perception is the ability to see the world in 3 dimensions and by doing so to be able to estimate the distance between objects.
Retinal disparity is defined as the way that your left eye and your right eye view slightly different images. 
Convergence refers to the eyes' disposition to rotate inward toward each other in a coordinated manner in order to focus effectively on nearby objects. 

Disparity and convergence are the two important things that help us to judge distance. When looking at a close-up object, your eyes angle inwards towards each other (you become slightly cross-eyed). The extra effort used by the muscles on the outside of each eye gives a clue to the brain about how far away the object is. This is convergence.
