Answer:

The correct definition of detoxification is the physical process of freeing the body of an addictive substance (option 3).

Explanation:

Detoxification encompasses all the physiological processes the body goes through to eliminate harmful or toxic substances, including drugs and addictive substances.

Depending on the nature of the substance, the organs involved in detoxification are the liver and the kidney. The detoxification process can be induced medically, by means of antidotes, blockers and antagonists of the toxic substance.

Detoxification can be used as a term to describe the period of time it takes for an organism to become clean.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     1. </em><u><em>A person who creates an atmosphere for an alcoholic to continue his behavior</em></u><em> is an inducer of alcoholism. </em>

<em>     2. </em><u><em>The process of learning to live without alcohol </em></u><em>is a step toward quitting drinking and becoming detoxified. </em>

<em>     4. </em><u><em>A meeting where family and friends get a problem drinker to seek help</em></u><em> is an intervention.</em>

Match each mode of transmission with an effective method of blocking it.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

<em><u>Mode of transmission       Method of blocking</u></em>

Indirect Contact -----------→  washing food (A)

Direct Contact -------------→   getting vaccinated (B)

Animal Vector --------------→  using insect repellent (C)

Explanation:

Transmissible infectious diseases are those caused by pathogenic biological agents and can be prevented by preventive measures.

Three forms of contagion are direct contact, indirect contact and vector transmission.

  • <em><u>Direct contact</u></em><em>: occurs with direct exposure to a sick person, their breathing or their secretions. </em>
  • <em><u>Indirect contact</u></em><em>: a sick person contaminates an object or food, which is then handled or consumed by another person, acquiring the disease. </em>
  • <em><u>Vector transmission</u></em><em>: Some insects, such as mosquitoes, carry diseases that can be transmitted through their bite to a healthy person. </em>

Transmission by direct contact can be prevented or blocked by immunization or vaccination. Properly washing food prevents the spread of disease through indirect contact. The use of insect repellent prevents the vector of a disease from spreading it through its bite.

A woman experiences a viral infection while pregnant. Which type of immunity does an infant have at birth against this infection
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Naturally Acquired Passive Immunity

Explanation:

Naturally acquired passive immunity can be described as a type of immunity in which antibodies are transferred from the mother to the infant through placenta or through breast feeding. This type of immunity tends to protect the child until the child can develop his/her own immune system. However, this type of immunity is not life long and usually remains from a period of few weeks to 6 months.
