Answer: a. too much acetylcholine staying in the neuromuscular junction for too long
Explanation:
Sarin is a gaseous organophosphate. This gas is used for chemical warfare. This affects the nervous system of the body. The gas if inhaled can cause death within minutes.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter molecule. It is released from the pre-synaptic neurons that binds to the acetylcholine receptors.
The gas sarin will target the enzyme acetylcholinesterase present in the neuromuscular junction of the body where the nerves actually meet the muscles. The enzyme degrades nerve signaling molecule acetylcholine. Thus when the sarin degrades the enzyme the levels of acetylcholine will rise up in the blood. The acetylcholine remain in the neuromuscular junction. The acetylcholine will stimulate the nerve cell receptors. Excess of acetylcholine will cause excessive twitching and may lead to paralysis.
Answer:
B. Definitions of pharmacy terminology
Explanation:
I calculated it logically
Answer:
This could go either way, depending on how you look at it, but I would probably lean towards false because they aren't the <em>exact </em>same.
Explanation:
The principles of CPR (compressing the chest and giving rescue breaths) are the same for children and infants as for adults. However, the CPR techniques are slightly different since children's and infants' bodies are smaller. One must be much more careful when giving CPR to a child due to them being more fragile.
Answer:
The source of life for fetus is the placenta which is connected by the umbilical cord.
Explanation:
The placenta is a temporary organ that during pregnacy connects the fetus and the mother trough the umbilical cord. It allows the fetus to recieve nutrients. It also helps to produce gas exchange, waste elimination and thermoregulation.
Placenta also participate as an endocrine organ (releasing HCG, Progesterone, Estrogen, human placental lactogen) and an immunity organ (allowing IgG antibodies to pass through).
