Answer:

1. Casting

2. Open reduction and internal fixation

3. Open reduction and external fixation

Explanation:

Casting is the process of making use of plaster-of- Paris to cure a fracture.

Open reduction, and internal fixation can be described as a situation whereby surgery is used to repair the fracture-frequently, and involves the use of metal rods, screws or plates to repair the bone. These things remain in place, under the skin, after the surgery. This procedure is adopted when the complicated fractures are not able to be realigned (reduced) by casting.

Open reduction, and external fixation is known to involve surgery to repair the fracture, and placement of a external fixation device on the limb with the fracture. This device is an external frame which supports the bone and hold it in the correct position while it is healing.

What is the human female reproductive system is adapted for? A. Production of zygotes in ovaries B. External fertilization of ga
victus00 [196]

Answer:

D. Transport of oxygen through a placenta to a fetus.

Explanation:

Zygotes are fertilized egg cell, zygotes aren't produced in the ovaries but ovums or egg cells are produced in the ovaries. So option A is false.

Fertilization is internal not external in human. Option B is wrong.

Production of milk happens in the mammary gland (the breast) not in the reproductive system. Option C is false.

Transport of oxygen through a placenta to a fetus. The placenta is a vascular organ which is implanted in the wall of the uterus (a part of the female reproductive system) and links to the foetus through the umbilical cord.

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will Group of answer choices increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli. de
Pie

Answer:

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli.

Explanation:

Alveolar Ventilation rate is the rate of air flow in the alveoli of the lung during normal breathing. It is measured in milliliters of air per minute (mL/min). The alveolar ventilation rate is an important factor in determining the concentrations (partial pressures) of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the functioning alveoli.

A high rate of alveolar ventilation, would result in a rapid influx of oxygen-rich air and efflux carbon dioxide-filled air from the alveoli.  This ultimately results in an increase in the concentration of oxygen and a decrease in the concentration of carbon dioxide within the alveoli.

Effects of alveolar ventilation on partial pressures of alveolar carbon dioxide and oxygen (PACO₂ and PAO₂)

If the  alveolar ventilation rate is increased (and carbon dioxide production is unchanged), then the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the alveoli, PACO₂ will decrease.

If the  alveolar ventilation rate increases, then the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli, PAO₂ will increase.
