Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that moves food to different processing stations in the digestive tract. The process of peristalsis begins in the esophagus when a bolus of food is swallowed. The strong wave-like motions of the smooth muscle in the esophagus carry the food to the stomach, where it is churned into a liquid mixture called chyme.

According to Jean Kazez, which one of the following is an objective value?
joja [24]

hihi :)

the answer is 2, which is health

Variants on two approaches to the concept of health have dominated the philosophy of medicine, here referred to as 'reductionist' and 'relativist'. These two approaches share the basic assumption that the concept of health cannot be both based on an empirical biological foundation and be evaluative and thus adopt either the view that it is 'objective' or evaluative. It is here argued that there is a subset of value concepts that are formed in recognition of certain fundamental facts about living organisms, among which is the concept of health. These are not yet moral concepts, but they are 'normative' or 'evaluative'. The view is defended that health, so understood, is a fundamental concept in the process of medical diagnosis and treatment.

Whic of the following is a key step when performing the duck pluck rescue
labwork [276]

Answer:

Duck pluck rescue is used to recover individuals who are submerged in the water and within reach.

The rescuer should be made to lie upwards and straight on the rescuer. This will ensure proper flow of blood to the brain and will ensure a higher degree of consciousness and lesser damage to the brain cells in the case when the patient has taken in much water which may have gone to the brain.
