Answer:

B. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - "speaking from the chest"; used as a means of finding masses in the lung. The whispered word is audible in areas where fluid or a mass is present

Explanation:

Auscultation in medicine, is the action of listening to sounds from the heart, lungs, or other organs, usually using a stethoscope, in order to perform medical diagnosis.

Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory and respiratory systems, as well as the alimentary canal. The procedure is best performed in a quiet examination room. A stethoscope is used to magnify internal sounds. Small changes in breath sounds are carefully observed in order to make a diagnosis.

Whispered pectoriloquy is used to detect vocal resonance. It is  used as a means of finding masses (consolidations e.g. pus) in the lung and is performed by having the patient quietly whisper a word. If fluid or a mass is present, words that are whispered may be heard clearly.

Rabbits are introduced into a grassland area. Which action of the rabbits would harm the buffalo that live in the grassland?
ollegr [7]
The most likely answer choice should and would be B, given that rabbits are herbivores (meaning that they only eat vegetation and plants, including grass). Buffalo's food source(s) and diet consists of grass as well. If enough rabbits are introduced into a grassland area, they will furthermore consume more grass, in turn limiting the food source of the buffalo. 

''Attacking'' prey doesn't necessarily make sense, given that buffalos do not 'prey' on any animal and rabbits themselves are prey.

A to a lesser extent can make sense, although I doubtable.  B's most likely the answer.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

Hydranencephaly is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence and replacement of the cerebral hemispheres by cerebrospinal fluid and necrotic remains, with preservation of the membranes (leptomeninges), within a skull of normal capacity and shape. It is the most severe form of cortical destruction cerebral bilateral and is considered an extreme form of porencephaly (focal cystic cavity). It mainly affects the territory of the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery, with preservation of the territories supplied by the vertebrobasilar arteries. The most accepted etiology is carotid vascular insufficiency, due to multiple causes (bleeding, placental thromboembolism, arteritis, vascular malformations, among others).
