Answer:

a. Cortical integration centers override the spinal reflex.

Explanation:

Withdrawal reflex actions are performed via nociceptive receptors and flexor muscles. The spinal reflex is intended to protect the body from damaging stimuli i.e. withdrawing the hands when a person touches some hot object and heat stimulates nociceptive receptors on skin triggering a sensory impulse to nervous system. The sensory neurons synapses with motor neurons to send motor impulses to the flexor muscles for hand withdrawal. However, some motor neurons send inhibitory signals to extensors so that flexion is inhibited which is called reciprocal innervation. However, the body can override the reflex via cortical integration by using either recursion or compression mechanisms of integration. The compression mechanism of cortical integration may apply the Recursive Auto-Associative Memory (or RAAM) which allows the storage of some hidden responses to some previously held situations in the cortical layers of brain. Hence, when the same situation occurs again, the reflexive response is different and may allow suppression of reflex via RAAM cortical integration. In the given scenario, the spinal reflex intends to drop the plate as soon as heat touches the nociceptive receptors. However, RAAM cortical integration may resist the reflex to drop and put it safely somewhere because the mind is intended to reach the goal of saving the dinner on the plate.

A provider order states kanamycin 700 mg IM now. The kanamycin label states, add 5 ML stérile h2o to 1 g kanamycin , 0.5 g= 2mL.
Kamila [148]

Answer

3.5 ml volume of water  will be required for sterilization of 700 mg Kanamycin

Explanation

First convert mg to gram

700 mg = 0.7 gram

So  

For 1 gram kanamycin = 5 ml of water is required

For 0.7 gram kanamycin = 0.7 x 5 ml of water is required

                                         = 3.5 ml

Then ,0.7 g of water will be sterile by = 3.5 ml
