Answer:

Injection of phenol to the matrix prevents regrowth of the nail causing the severe ingrown nail.

Explanation:

An ingrown toenail usually develops when the nail plate's position in the lateral nail groove is altered. Most common factors include <u>incorrect cutting of nails, poor foot hygiene, excess external pressure, and inappropriate footwear.</u>

Matrix phenolisation, also known as partial matrixectomy, involves applying <u>88% liquefied phenol</u> (distilled water as solvent) to the lateral matrix after removing the altered nail segment. Concentrated phenol is known to  have <u>antiseptic and escharotic</u> activities. It prevents regeneration of the matrix by denaturing of its contents and soft tissue proteins.

Explain why the chemical composition of interstitial fluid is so critical to the normal functioning of the body's cells.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The change in chemical composition of interstitial fluid affects the oxygen and nutrients transportation to the cell, and also removal of waste from the cell.

Interstitial fluid- Extracellular fluid is mostly made up of blood plasma and interstitial fluid. Interstitial fluid is the substance that fills the spaces between cells. Salts, water, cellular waste products, coenzymes, hormones, carbohydrates, fatty acids, and amino acids make up its composition.

Chemical Composition- The chemical composition of a material refers to the configuration, proportion, and kind of atoms in chemical substance molecules. The chemical makeup will alter when substances interact. For instance, when hydrogen and oxygen combine, water is produced.

Compare and contrast properties of sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sister chromatids are regarded as replicated chromosomes. Sister chromatids are two identical copies of chromosomes held at the centromere that are formed as a result of replication. They are identical in the sense that they contain same alleles/gene sequence of the same genes.

Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are similar (in length, centromere position) but non-identical chromosomes. Homologous are non-identical in the sense that they may contain different alleles of a gene and are received from each parent. homologous chromosome contain four chromatids; two of which are sister chromatids and non-sister to the other two.

Both undergo meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis I while sister chromatids separate in meiosis II but only sister chromatids undergo mitosis.
