A doctor examines a patient who has high blood pressure and atherosclerosis in the coronary artery. What medical condition conne

cted to blood flow is most likely to affect this patient in the future?
A. The patient may develop headaches and confusion due to cancer in the brain caused by years of low levels of oxygen supplied to the brain.
B. The patient may develop stiff joints and chest pains from the high blood pressure applied to the muscle and joint tissues of the body.
C. The patient may show signs of confusion, weakness, and partial paralysis due to high blood pressure when the plaque dislodges and blocks blood flow to the brain.
D. The patient may suffer a heart attack because of the reduction in blood flow to the heart muscles due to severe plaque build-up in the coronary artery.

Answer:C. The patient may show signs of confusion, weakness, and partial paralysis due to high blood pressure when the plaque dislodges and blocks blood flow to the brain.

Explanation: Atherosclerosis is a condition that occur when the artery is blocked due to the buildup of fatty acids called plague preventing the flow of blood to vital organs. When this organs( such as heart and brain) are not supplied blood it could lead to malfunctioning or damage of such organ.

When the brain is not adequately supply with blood it could result into confusion, paralysis, constant weakness and even stroke in case of total blockage. Also, inadequate supply of blood to the heart can result into chest pain and aches and heart attack when the artery is block completely.

Regular exercise,good diet and treatment of ailment such as high blood pressure could help reduce the chances of having atherosclerosis.

Answer: Option C.

The patient may show sign of confusion, weakness ND partial paralysis due to high blood pressure when the plague dislodges and blocks blood flow to the brain.

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis is the hardening of the arteries which reduce the length of arteries and make it narrow in the body, when the arteries that carry blood to the heart is affected by atherosclerosis, it lead to coronary artery diseases.

High blood pressure is a condition where the pressure of blood increases beyond the normal level.

A patient with these conditions, will have weakness and partial paralysis because the arteries is narrow and there is forceful blood flow, thereby overworking the arteries,making it to become weak and not carry blood efficiently, causing it to block. These will in turn reduce the blood nutrients that will be carry to the cells , cause weakness , partial paralysis and block blood flows.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The <u>Acidophilic Microbial</u> Community has low diversity with microorganisms primarily in Leptospirillum groups II and III and from Ferroplasma types I and II.

Explanation:

An acidophilic microorganism or plant is one which grows best in acidic conditions.

They are also referred to as microorganisms which occur in acidic natural (solfataric fields, sulphuric pools) and man-made (eg. Acid mine drainage) environments.

Acidophilic Microbes otherwise known as Acidophiles are an ecologically and economically important group.

They possess networked cellular adaptations for regulating intracellular pH. Several extracellular enzymes from acidophilic microbes are known to be functional at much lower pH than that inside the cells.

Acid stable enzymes have applications in several industries such as starch, baking, fruit juice processing, animal feed and pharmaceuticals, and some of them have already been commercialized. Acidophiles are widely used in bio-leaching of metals from low grade ores

Recent studies show that acidophiles are currently being considered to be utilized in bio-conversion and bio-remediation, as well as in microbial fuel cells to generate electricity.

Acidophilic microbes of similar characteristics are classifed in groups for ease of study and identification.

Leptospirillum Group II and II as well as Ferroplasma types I and II are groups of acidophilic microorganisms within the Acidophillic Microbial community.

Cheers!

Which of the following contributes to the desertification of the land?
Mrac [35]

Respuesta:

B. pastoreo excesivo de animales de granja

Porque son lugares secos.

Explicación:  

Las políticas e infraestructuras que promueven la agricultura en las tierras de pastoreo que no pueden mantener sistemas viables de cultivo, contribuyen a la desertificación. La mayoría de las áreas de tierras secas (el 65%) son tierras de pastoreo que son más adecuadas para el pastoreo sostenible que para el cultivo.
