Sepsis refers to a life-threatening issue of the infection. It takes place due to the immune reaction to the bacterial infection that invades the blood. It usually results in injury or organ failure. The following are the kinds of sepsis:

1. Lung sepsis (Pneumonia)

2. Urinary tract sepsis (Kidney infection)

3. Gastrointestinal sepsis (Abdominal infection)

4. Bloodstream sepsis (Septicemia)

The causes of sepsis: Any infection can result in sepsis if not treated properly. The infectious agent passes via the blood and leads to sepsis of any parts of the body. It can be caused due to bacterial infections, fungal infections, old age problems, drug-resistant bacteria, and a weakened immune system.

Some of the preventive measures for sepsis are as follows:

1. Taking vaccinations

2. Practice good hygiene

3. Proper care for wounds

4. Safe water and sanitation

5. Eating probiotics

6. Proper treatment for infections

Lung sepsis: Also known as pneumonia, is an infection in the lungs. It is caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It is a hospital-acquired infection. Some of the symptoms of pneumonia sepsis are fever, cough, sweating, muscle pain, and chest pain. It is treated with the help of antibiotics.

Urinary tract sepsis: It causes urosepsis. It majorly affects women and men in ICU. The symptoms are a pain in the lower back, fever, vomiting. nausea decreased urine output. The treatment for urinary tract sepsis is antibiotics, apart from that intravenous fluids, oxygen, and other medications are taken.

Bloodstream sepsis: It is also known as blood poisoning. It is life-threatening and can spread to different parts of the body. The symptoms include dizziness, low blood pressure, dehydration, confusion, and joint pains. This is also treated with the help of antibiotics administered intravenously.

Gastrointestinal sepsis: It is also known as peritonitis. It is caused due to the presentation of an infection into the sterile peritoneal environment due to organ perforation, and may also result due to other irritants like foreign bodies, gastric acid from a perforated ulcer, bile from a lacerated liver or from a perforated gallbladder. The symptoms of the condition are abdominal pain, fever, bloating, and loss of appetite, low urine output, diarrhea, and thirst. It is also treated with the combination of antibiotics.

Your friend brings you rocks with a thick layer of oxidation weathering, and no other visible signs of weathering. this is a clu

Vsevolod [243]

<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological. For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options. A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water. * Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice. A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. * Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice. A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation. * Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice. A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process. * Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>

Which of the following is an example of polygenic inheritance? a. White and purple flower color in peas b. The ABO blood groups

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: Hi.... I hope it helps!!

Skin Pigmentation in humans

Explanation: Polygenic inheritance- It is simply a single characteristic which is controlled by more than two genes. Human skin's color is determined by the amount of dark pigment it has which is melanin . Minimum four genes are involved in the melanin production.

It is a case of continuous variation as the combination of melanin producing allele are responsible for degree of pigmentation
