Answer:

In case of sunstroke the body is unable to sweat because the body is dehydrated.

The temperature of the body won't increase further because there can be no more evaporation in body as it cannot sweat more from the skin surface.

The skin dissipates the heat and cools the body preventing the overheating of the body.

The skin appears to be red in color because the blood is dilated and dissipiated into the whole body for cooling.

If a woman with vaginal bleeding reports syncope, the EMT should assume that she "is in shock".

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The most common form of syncope is the Vasovagal syncope. It is triggered by a dramatic drop in blood pressure, resulting in a decline in blood flow to the brain. When one stand up, gravity causes blood to settle down below one's diaphragm, in the bottom part of their body.

It is a component of a wider class of medical conditions which may lead in TLOC involving postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), orthostatic hypotension and neurologically mediated syncope (NMS). The overlapping of such clinical symptoms causes confusion about the category of syncopes which may complicate assessment approaches and present difficulties for diagnosis and treatment, especially in young women.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

D, The white blood cells of sick people may not be able to efficiently handle the weakened or dead form of the pathogen.

Explanation:

Vaccinations are essentially just weak diseases we use to create antibodies so the body can protect itself from the full disease. If it sees it once, it can defend itself, is the theory. This is choice D.

  • Why not A: The weakened form will be attacked by the immune system, but maybe not enough, because the person is so sick that the immune system is busy elsewhere.
  • Why not B: The medication is not what combines with the vaccine to cause problems. It is the body being overworked.
  • Why not C: The digestive system isn't the issue. You don't eat diseases.

Which of the following is true of receptors for dynamic equilibrium?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Dynamic equilibrium refers to the sense, which interprets angular acceleration in the three-axis of rotation that when combined provides a sense of equilibrium when movement takes place. The receptors for dynamic equilibrium are known as ampulla, maculae are the receptors of static equilibrium.  

The movement of the head does stimulate dynamic equilibrium receptors, as these receptors are situated in the inner ear that moves with the head. The receptors for dynamic equilibrium are situated in the semicircular canals. The receptors for dynamic equilibrium react to rotational forces, as the receptors are located on the three-axis, thus, they can detect rotation, that is, angular momentum.
