The og answer is correct, I’m just going to explain it a bit more. Since the code has been called, there are possible casualties and possible patients that will come into your care, but are not yet in your care. Your primary responsibility is to take care of the patient who is there with you. Elective surgery will be canceled and rescheduled. You should bring the patient back to their room and get them discharged as soon as possible. You will then meet with your attendings team and they will instruct you on protocol and your function until the code is called off or resolved

The pancreas releases alkaline, enzyme-rich pancreatic juice into the ____________ of the small intestine. What is the function
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is the duodenum.

Explanation:

Pancreatic juice is an alkaline fluid which contains important enzymes for the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.  

Pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas when food enters the stomach which is released into the "duodenum" of the small intestine. The pancreatic juice enters duodenum through a pancreatic duct which joins with the bile duct coming from the liver and form "ampulla of Vater" in the duodenum.

Pancreatic juice helps in digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats as it contains pro-enzymes and enzymes like trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, lipase and many more. It also makes the acidic stomach solution alkaline due to the presence of HCO₃.

Thus, the duodenum is the correct answer.

Which term describes the individual in a pedigree whose phenotype was first brought to the attention of a medical researcher?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which term describes the individual in a pedigree whose phenotype was first brought to the attention of a medical researcher? would be: Proband.

Explanation:

The reason for this being the correct answer is that a proband, also known as proposito (for males) and proposita (for females) is known as the first member of a group (animal or human), most likely a family member, on whom a particular condition is appearing, and who is the first to seek medical help for it. The pedigree is further formed starting from the proband and relationships in groups and families to the proband are built with proper symbols to denote the relationship existent. In males the symbol used is a square and in females a circle. Usually these probands are used to study genetic disorders and the relation with the entire family group that springs forth from that proband.
