Cortisol and insulin are synergistic in their actions. a. True b. False

Medicine
1 answer:
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

b). False.

Explanation:

Synergistic effect represents interaction between two or more substances or factors to generate a combined effect higher than the sum of their effects when they function separately.

Cortisol is a hyperglycemic hormone that increases level of glucose in blood. It is secreted by adrenal gland during stress conditions, which increases level of blood sugar by producing of glucose from liver.

On the other hand, insulin is a hypoglycemic hormone that reduces level of glucose in blood. It is secreted by pancreas when blood sugar level becomes too high and decreases blood sugar level by promoting storage of glucose for future use.

As cortisol and insulin show opposite effects, they cannot be considered as synergistic in their actions.

Thus, the given statement is false.

Trace a drop of blood as it enters the heart,
stellarik [79]
Hopefully this is right:
Comes in through superior and inferior vena cava, then enters right atrium, then tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. Then the deoxygenated blood gets pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Oxygenated blood comes back through pulmonary vein and into left atrium. Then goes through mitral valve and into left ventricle which then pumps the blood through aorta.

How to calculate the heart rate from the electrocardiogram ?​
Masja [62]

Answer:

ECG paper is a grid where time is measured along the horizontal axis.

Each small square is 1 mm in length and represents 0.04 seconds.

Each larger square is 5 mm in length and represents 0.2 seconds.

Voltage is measured along the vertical axis.

10 mm is equal to 1mV in voltage.

The diagram below illustrates the configuration of ECG graph paper and where to measure the components of the ECG wave form

Heart rate can be easily calculated from the ECG strip:

When the rhythm is regular, the heart rate is 300 divided by the number of large squares between the QRS complexes.

For example, if there are 4 large squares between regular QRS complexes, the heart rate is 75 (300/4=75).

The second method can be used with an irregular rhythm to estimate the rate. Count the number of R waves in a 6 second strip and multiply by 10.

For example, if there are 7 R waves in a 6 second strip, the heart rate is 70 (7x10=70).

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are privately planned healthcare offered by contracting with Medicare to provide Part A and Part B health benefits to patients. MA part A plan covers hospital insurance and MA Part B plan covers medical insurance. Most of the MA plans also covers prescription drugs and most of the Medicare services are covered. Common MA plans include Health Maintenance organization (HMO) plans, Preferred provider Organization (PPO) plans, private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans, and Special Needs Plan (SNPs).  

Explanation:

Mrs. Davenport is already enrolled in a MA plan before she has developed ESRD. Therefore, her plan will continue after getting the ESRD diagnosis and the MA plan chosen by Mrs. Davenporrt cannot charge more than the original Medicare cost for dialysis and coverage of immunosuppressant drugs. Moreover both part A and part B medicare plans have annual budget for out-of-pocket costs thus the increasing healthcare cost of Mrs. Davenport after the ESRD diagnosis can be covered through renewal of annual budgeting. Moreover, if the previous Medicare advantage plan is not functional in the service area, then Mrs. Davenport could enroll in Special Enrollment period and may get another Medicare advantage plan in their area.
