Answer:

below the lungs above the ribs

Explanation:

The diaphragm is a thin skeletal muscle that is located at the base of the chest.

This muscle contracts and flattens when one inhales, this in turn creates a vacuum that pulls air into the lungs.

The muscle relaxes when one exhales and the air is pushed out of lungs.

The diaphragm separates the abdomen from the chest.

The above process is known as breathing.

This is what causes the chest to move up and down.

The large number of alveoli in lungs improve diffusion by ____.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: a. Increasing the surface area for diffusion

Explanation:

When the air is inhaled through the nostrils, the air containing the oxygen the air diffuses inside the alveoli. The alveoli are the tiny sacs where air enters and exchange of gases takes place. From the alveoli the oxygen enters into the blood stream. The oxygen is utilized by the cells for respiration. The increase in network and number of the alveoli will increase the surface area for the diffusion of oxygen and hence, will speed up the respiration process.

What are mechanisms of action of Triclosan and Povidone?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Povidone: its action is produced by oxidation and inactivation of cellular components.

Triclosan:  is absorbed by intact skin which determines its persistence and its speed of action is intermediate.

Explanation:

Povidona:

- It presents the same mechanism of action and spectrum of iodine.

- It is a water-soluble compound that results from the combination of iodine and polyvinylpyrrolidone, which improves the solubility of iodine and allows its gradual release into tissues. This effect determines less skin irritation and greater product availability over time.

- The term "available iodine" refers to the amount of iodine available as a reservoir and that of free iodine to the percentage in solution in working condition, that is, a 10% povidone iodine solution, contains 1% of available iodine and the iodine concentration Free is 1 to 2 parts of a million that remains until the available iodine is depleted. This product advantage is lost when diluted in water, since in these circumstances it behaves as an aqueous solution of iodine.

- Its activity can be diminished by the presence of blood or other organic matter.

- The concentrations commonly used as a surgical scrubber are 7.5% and 8% and in the one used for cures it is 10%.

- In relation to tincture of iodine or lugol, it presents less dermal irritation. They should be used with caution in newborns and burned

- Its antiseptic action is classified between high level and intermediate level. They are lethal in minutes for bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, amoeba cysts and spores. However, in front of dry spores it requires a longer exposure time (hours).

- Iodized antiseptics have the advantage of being cheap.

Triclosan:

- It is a relatively new phenolic derivative that acts causing damage to the cell wall of microorganisms. It is broad-spectrum bacterial, better for Gram + and there is little information about its activity in viruses.

- <em>It is absorbed by intact skin which determines its persistence and its speed of action is intermediate. </em>

- No allergenic or mutagenic effect has been demonstrated in short periods of use.

- Its activity is minimally affected by organic matter.

- The concentrations of usual use are between 0.3% and 2%.

- It is mainly indicated for clinical handwashing where it is used in 1% breads and in 0.5% liquid preparations.

plz help!!! If this is a sequence of one DNA strand, what is the complementary sequence of the other DNA strand? DNA: A T T C A
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

T A A G T C G C T

Explanation:

DNA strand:                             A T T C A G C G A

complementary DNA strand:  T A A G T C G C T

This is a very important rule:

Four kinds of nitrogenous bases in DNA: Adnine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C)

And this is how they're coupled:

A = T

C = G

For example::

First DNA strand:                  A T G C

complementary strand:        T A C G
