A parasite moving between individuals other than parents and their offspring uses
horizontal transmission.
Horizontal transmission is the transmission of infections between (parasites) that are not in a parent-child relationship (vertical transmission). Horizontal transmission may include the carriers or <span>vectors which are other species. Transmission, in that case, occurs via the bite of the vector (an infected organism), like in malaria.</span>
It carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
An insect bite on the face produces a break in the skin which introduces the normal skin flora (usually <em>Staphylococcus </em>and <em>Streptococcus</em>) to the sterile subcutaneous tissue causing inflammation. The inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue is called cellulitis. Since the infection is in the face, then it can travel from the infected site to the meninges through the cavernous sinuses and cause bacterial meningitis.
Answer: The relationship between blood pressure and heart rate responses to coughing was investigated in 10 healthy subjects in three body positions and compared with the circulatory responses to commonly used autonomic function tests: forced breathing, standing up and the Valsalva manoeuvre. 2. We observed a concomitant intra-cough increase in supine heart rate and blood pressure and a sustained post-cough elevation of heart rate in the absence of arterial hypotension. These findings indicate that the sustained increase in heart rate in response to coughing is not caused by arterial hypotension and that these heart rate changes are not under arterial baroreflex control. 3. The maximal change in heart rate in response to coughing (28 +/- 8 beats/min) was comparable with the response to forced breathing (29 +/- 9 beats/min, P greater than 0.4), with a reasonable correlation (r = 0.67, P less than 0.05), and smaller than the change in response to standing up (41 +/- 9 beats/min, P less than 0.01) and to the Valsalva manoeuvre (39 +/- 13 beats/min, P less than 0.01). 4. Quantifying the initial heart rate response to coughing offers no advantage in measuring cardiac acceleratory capacity; standing up and the Valsalva manoeuvre are superior to coughing in evaluating arterial baroreflex cardiovascular function.
