Answer:

d. recall that it will take a less severe mechanism of injury to cause significant injuries.

Explanation:

In older people their bodies have less amount of important cells and tissues in the body. These cells and tissues are beneficial in protection of the body against harm or disease.

Older people usually have osteoclasts which digests and weakens the bone. This poses a greater risk of injury with less severe mechanism of injury.

Depleted blood cells in older people also makes it hard for them to produce the right amount of inflammatory and clotting responses when an injury occurs which makes it more severe compared to younger people.

Local anesthetics block voltage-gated Na+ channels, but they do not block mechanically gated ion channels. Sensory receptors for
Vinvika [58]

Local anesthetics inhibit nerve conduction in a reversible manner without altering the nerve. The inhibition appears rapidly and for a longer or shorter duration depending on the products and the concentrations used. The extent of the territory rendered insensitive to pain depends on the modes of administration of the local anesthetic, either at the level of the nerve endings, or at the level of a nervous trunk, for example.

They act at the level of the neuronal membrane by interfering with the process of excitation and conduction. The anesthetic crosses the axon membrane, rich in lipids, in the form of base before taking up a cationic form on the internal face of the neuron where the pH is more acidic.

At this level, there is a blockage of nerve conduction by decreasing the membrane permeability to sodium ions that occurs during the depolarization phase. As the progression of the anesthetic action along the nerve increases, the threshold of excitability increases and the conduction time increases. This is completely blocked from a certain concentration of local anesthetic.

The nerve fibers are unequally sensitive to the action of local anesthetics: they disappear in order: the painful, thermal, tactile sensations.
