A detailed written study of a single specialized subject or an aspect of it
Answer:
Although semen tends to be thick immediately after ejaculation, it is normal for semen to liquefy shortly afterward.
Explanation:
A normal human sperm is expected to be thick and whitish in color, but that is only so immediately after ejaculation during sex. Immediately after sex, the sperm is still thick, but as it is exposed to air and other circumstances, it gradually starts becoming thin, thereby changing its color to a colorless thin liquid. Hence, Jerome's semen is normal.
The answer would be A. Muscle Cramp
because that is the only option shown here that someone doesn't need to go to the E.R. for. For example, if you try massaging a hairline fracture, there's a good chance you'll break someones bone.
Answer:
C. Acute Epiglottitis
Explanation:
Before explaining why C is the correct answer, let's look at why the others are <u>not</u> correct:
- A. GABHS is a bacterial infection that is a type of streptococcus (aka Strep). It is also the most common cause of Tonsillitis! Symptoms of GABHS typically include: Sore Throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and tonsillar exudates. It sounds very like what we're looking for, but notice drooling isn't a symptom found with this one!
- B. Acute Tracheitis is inflammation of the trachea often resulting from a bacterial infection. Symptoms of this condition are more breathing-related such as severe dry cough, wheezing, and even shortness of breath and cyanosis. Not what we're looking at.
- D. Acute Laryngotracheobronchitis is a common disease found in young children that is more commonly known as Croup. This disease is most often characterized by a "barking cough." Other symptoms include fever, stridor and hoarseness.
Now, WHY is C the correct answer?:
Acute Epiglottitis is, like croup, commonly found in younger children and is defined as inflammation of the epiglottis (the flap that covers the trachea when swallowing). It is often characterized by fever, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and (more specifically) drooling! The drooling coupled with the clear bilateral breath sounds and absence of a cough help to diagnose this illness.
The correct answer is C. Infection
Explanation:
In the excerpt presented, Diego who is the brother of a superhero known as Impervious describes his thoughts as he is informed about his brother's death. One of the main points in this excerpt is who or what killed Impervious or Javier because according to Diego he was an invincible superhero.
Due to this, the narrator considers possible causes such as an "alien technology" and "damage or infection" but he rules out these options because Aliens were fictional and Javier seemed indestructible not only outside but inside, which proves he was not likely to develop an infection or disease. In this context, one of the weaknesses Diego rules out is an infection.
