Answer:

The dose for this patient should be 800 mg per day, ie., 4000 mg in total for 5 days.

Explanation:

2.2 lbs: 1 kilogram

22 lbs: 10 kilograms

Acyclovir oral suspension 20mg/kg >> 10 kg: 200 mg

This needs to be repeated four times in a day (i.e., every 6 hours) during five days >>  

200 mg x 4 = 800 mg >>

800 mg x 5 days = 4000 mg

Explain briefly how the ear works, and therefore how we hear?​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Our ear consists of

1 Outer ear (pinna) which passes through auditory canal leading to the ear drum (tympanum)

2 The middle ear consists of three tiny bones malleus, incus and stapes. the three bones are collectively called ear ossicals.

3 Inner ear or membranous labyrinth has two main parts-- cochlea and spiral-shaped, and semicircular canals.

The pinna collects the sound waves and conducts them through the external auditory canal. They finally strike on the ear drum which is set into vibration.

Pacemaker cells in the heart possess intrinsic rhythm. <br> a. True<br> b. False
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pacemaker cells, unlike other neurons in the body, can depolarized themselves (and therefore can fire action potentials) without the need of an external innervation of the autonomic nervous system.  

Each class of pacemaker cells has its own intrinsic rate.

For example, sinoatrial node rate is 60-100 bpm (the normal heart frequency).  

The atrioventricular node is also part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. When the sinoatrial node fails, atrioventricular node takes the lead (40-60 bpm).
