lord [1]3 years ago

Answer:

a. Earthquakes shake the rocks to slide horizontally, vertically, or side-ward.

Explanation:

The correct answer is - a.Earthquakes shake the rocks to slide horizontally, vertically, or side-ward.

Reason -

A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock.

Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other. This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an earthquake - or may occur slowly, in the form of creep.

During an earthquake, the rock on one side of the fault suddenly slips with respect to the other.

The fault surface can be horizontal or vertical or some arbitrary angle in between.

Is the following statement true or false? the most frequent sign and symptom of a developing pulmonary embolus is tachypnea and
Rainbow [258]

The statement is True.

Dyspnea has a multi-factorial origin, resulting from bronchospasm or vasospasm, disturbances in pulmonary circulation, immobility or diminished respiratory excursion of the diaphragm, atelectasia and/or pulmonary infarction, anoxia, or impairment of cardiac function.

Dyspnea, chest pain, and cough are the most frequent symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism(PE), while fever, tachycardia, abnormal pulmonary signs, and peripheral vascular collapse are the most common physical findings.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot gets stuck in an artery in the lung, blocking blood flow to part of the lung. Blood clots most often start in the legs and travel up through the right side of the heart and into the lungs. This is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Clot in the lung circulation (pulmonary embolus): Breathlessness is usually sudden and associated with rapid breathing and may be accompanied by chest pain.

A client has thin, dark-red vertical lines about 1 to 3 mm long in the nails. Which diseases are associated with this physiologi
qaws [65]

Answer:

- Trichinosis

- Bacterial endocarditis

Explanation:

Trichinosis is a parasitic infection that has as its etiological agent the nematode parasites of the genus Trichinella, and the species of greatest interest to human medicine is Trichinella spiralis.  One of the first and characteristic symptoms of infection is the swelling of the eyelids, which appears around the 11th day after infection. Subsequently hemorrhages appear in the eye sclera and in the back of the eyes, eye pain and photosensitivity. Then there is the appearance of muscle pain, along with a rash and bleeding below the nails causing dark red vertical lines about 1 to 3 mm long. The pain is intense in the muscles linked to breathing, chewing and swallowing.

Bacterial endocarditis is always associated with a bacteremia that the immune system has failed to counteract. In other words, the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream, which is usually sterile, represents an important cause of bacterial endocarditis, an infection that affects the inner membrane lining the heart and heart valves, especially if they already have a disorder. The disease sets in when bacteria from various parts of the body - from the mouth mainly, but also from the skin, intestines, respiratory tract, and urinary tract - are carried through the bloodstream to a heart valve or other damaged endocardial area where fix it. Among the many symptoms, indicative of the presence of this disease in the body are thin dark red vertical lines about 1 to 3 mm long in the nails.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Concentration gradient means difference in solute concentration among two regions of a solution.

Explanation:

When there is a difference in solute concentration in the two regions of a solution then the term concentration gradient is used .

      Various membrane transport process such as passive transport(diffusion and osmosis),facilitate transport depends on concentration gradient of solute molecule in both sides of plasma membrane.

      During passive and facilitate diffusion solute molecules are transported along their concentration gradient that means from high concentration region to the region of low concentration until equilibrium is being established.
