Answer:
With regard to bone decalcification secondary to hypocalcemia, what an endocrinologist and an orthopedist have in common is that they both focus on calcium levels.
Explanation:
Endocrinology and traumatology are two different medical specialties, however they can together treat a person with a metabolic disorder affecting the bones.
In the case of a person with thyroid problems, where probably the parathyroid glands are affected, there are low levels of calcium in the blood —hypocalcemia— which affects the bones secondarily by decalcification, both the endocrinologist and the traumatologist will coincide in the treatment of the serum calcium levels:
- <u>Endocrinologist</u> will treat the hormonal problem that produces low calcium in the blood.
- <u>Orthopedist</u> will indicate a calcium replacement treatment to improve the levels of the mineral in the blood, and restore the calcium lost by the bones.
The joint treatment of both specialists can guarantee the recovery of a patient with problems in the metabolism of calcium.
Answer:
Xerophyte survival characteristics:
Thick cuticle.
Stomatal closure.
Reduction in # of stomata.
Stomata hidden in crypts or depressions in leaf surface (less exposure to wind and sun).
Reduction in size of transpiration surface (lower leaf only).
Increased water storage.
Explanation:
Xerophyte adaptations increase water intake, limit water loss, and store water efficiently. Water intake adaptations include deep or widespread roots, and high salt content to increase osmosis. Xerophytes have thick cuticles, lost or finely divided leaves, reduced stomata, and CAM photosynthesis
Answer: traps heat and helps keep the Earth warm
Water vapor in the atmosphere traps heat and helps keep the Earth warm
Explanation:
The water vapour present in the layer of the atmosphere help to retain heat radiated from the earth surface. By so doing, it provides warmth alongside sunlight to the Earth's surface.
The correct answer is the final option - sickle cell disease and malaria are both potentially lethal diseases.
The other options are incorrect because sickle cell disease is an inherited disease, but malaria is not - it is an infectious disease. However, both of these disease are quite dangerous, and may have severe consequences (such as death) if they are not properly treated.
