Answer:

- a system of medicine that originated in India: Ayurveda

- believes that illness is a result of an imbalance in energy: Traditional Chinese Medicine

- use of acupuncture as a treatment method: Traditional Chinese Medicine

- uses plants and minerals as medicine as well as techniques such as meditation and exercise: Traditional Chinese Medicine

Explanation:

Traditional Chinese medicine refers to different ancestral medicine practices that have a tradition of more than 2,000 years. Traditional Chinese medicine includes, among others, dietary therapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, etc. Acupuncture refers to the traditional medical practice of penetrating the skin with needles, which is widely used for many different health problems such as nausea, migraine, musculoskeletal problems, anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc. Traditional Chinese is based on the concept that the energy of the body flows along pathways referred to as meridians, thereby a disease state occurs when these meridians are blocked. Traditional Chinese medicine uses different minerals such as, for example, heat-clearing/detoxifying minerals (e.g, gypsum, borax, niter, calcite, thenardite, chalcanthite, etc). Moreover, Ayurveda is a medical practice that originated in India and has a tradition of more than 3,000 years. Ayurveda is closely related to yoga and helps people to take control of their lifestyles (e.g., improving digestion, sleep, etc). This medicine practice (Ayurveda) is based on the idea that health is directly associated with the balance between body, mind, and spirit.

Nucelus

The nucleus plays the same role in animal cells as it does in other eukaryotes. What was handled in the RNA world is mostly handled by the eukaryotic nucleus. The nucleolus was the nucleus of the compartment that would later become the nucleus. The cytosol was introduced to accomplish protein synthesis and everything else related with it, according to the Eukaryotic Expansion Theory. Organelles were generated during the protein world, i.e. when translation was possible, and some of them evolved into bacteria, as explained by the Organelle Escape Theory. The endosymbiosis theory is no longer necessary with these views. This is demonstrated via an examination of OET. In the realm of RNA, the nucleus has retained its role. As a result, it has complete control over the cell.

Mitochondria

Mitochondria (plural: mitochondrion) are membrane-bound cell organelles that provide the majority of the chemical energy required to fuel the cell's metabolic activities. Adenosine triphosphate is a tiny molecule that stores the chemical energy created by mitochondria (ATP). Mitochondria have two membranes, one exterior and the other inner, both with deep inner folds. The inner membrane surrounds a region where the mitochondrial matrix is present and is impervious to most substances. Mitochondria are the energy plants of the cell, breaking down nutrients and converting them to energy. Citric acid, also known as Krebs cysteine, is created in the matrix and plays a crucial role in energy generation.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

In the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a continuous membrane structure that produces a series of flattened sacs. ER is found in all eukaryotic cells. The ER typically accounts for more than 50% of the cell's membranous material in animal cells.

Golgi Apparatus

A Golgi body, also known as a Golgi apparatus, is a cell organelle that aids in the processing and packaging of proteins and lipid molecules, particularly those intended for cell export. The Golgi body is a collection of stacked membranes named after its discoverer, Camillo Golgi.

Answer:

The laboratory investigation is to check for the levels of pancreatic enzymes amylase and lipases in the blood.

Explanation:

The pancreas is an organ that is located in the abdomen and produces digestive enzymes and hormones that aid digestion, and empties into the small intestine.

When the pancreas is inflamed, these enzymes will leak into the blood cells the concentration of the enzymes in the plasma or serum will increases above the normal range, this mostly occurs in pancreatitis (which is the inflammation of the pancreas) or a mechanical injury to the pancreas as described in this question. These enzymes are found in other organs too, but they are mainly found in the pancreas in a larger concentration.

The two main enzymes that are assayed for in the laboratory are; Amylase and lipase. Amylase is an enzyme that digests carbohydrates, for the amylase test, blood or urine is used and the patient is asked to stay away from drugs that affect the amylase levels prior to the test procedure. The normal range of amylase in the blood is 23-140 U/L and an amylase concentration of > or = 200 U/L suggests injury to the pancreas.

Lipases are enzymes that breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol, this test is more sensitive than the amylase test because the liopases are reabsorbed into the blood stream in the renal tubules hence maintain a constant concentration in the blood and can accurately be used to quantify the extent of damage to the pancreas. The normal range is 0 - 160 U/L and in the case of pancreatic injury, can have a 2 or 4 fold increase in concentration.

The principle of both tests is that they measure the activity of both enzymes in the blood colorimetrically or using a spectrophotometer.
