Studentka2010 [4]
He actually could be having a stroke.


He could have Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

He could have a concussion.

He could have brain damage from substance abuse or smoking.

Treatment for memory loss depends on the cause. In many cases, it may be reversible with treatment.

For example, memory loss from medications may resolve with a change in medication.

Nutritional supplements can be useful against memory loss caused by a nutritional deficiency. And treating depression may be helpful for memory when depression is a factor.

In some cases -- such as following a stroke -- therapy may help people remember how to do certain tasks such as walking or tying shoes.

In others, memory may improve over time.

Treatments may also be specific to conditions related to memory loss.

For example, drugs are available to treat memory problems related to Alzheimer's disease, and drugs to help lower blood pressure can help reduce risk of more brain damage from dementia related to high blood pressure.

Hope this helped!

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

An increased body temperature made changes to the T-cell membrane to fight certain temperature sensitive viruses or bacteria.

Explanation:

According to medical science, having fever or an increased  body temperature helps the human body to fight certain temperature sensitive bacteria or viruses.

An experiment performed by the Chinese scientist, Jian Feng Chen of Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry on mice showed that the injected high temperature in the body of the mice stimulated the T-cell membrane which started secreting heat-shock protein or Hsps, which fights stress.  

This study showed that the raised temperature triggers the body immune system to fight a virus or bacteria caused infection.

Plant cells produce hormones that affect plant growth and behavior. Cytokinins and auxins are two important types of plant hormo
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Plant hormones are among the most important biochemicals affecting plant growth and yield production under different conditions, including stress. Plant hormones include auxin, abscisic acid, ethylene, gibberellins, cytokinins, salicylic acid, strigolactones, brassinosteroids, and nitrous (nitric) oxide. Plant functioning under stress is affected by plant hormones, which can help the plant to tolerate the environmental stresses. A wide range of actions have been illustrated for plant hormones. If it is possible to regulate the activities of plant hormones under stress, the production of tolerant plant species will be more likely. Soybean [Glycine max (Merr.) L.] growth and activities, including the process of nodulation and biological N fixation with the N fixing bacteria Bradyrhizobium japonicum, are also regulated by plant hormones. The important point about plant hormones is their interactions and cross talk, affecting their activity and efficiency in plants under different conditions, including environmental stresses. Some of the most important findings related to the behavior of the soybean and its symbiotic B. japonicum under environmental stresses as affected by plant hormones are presented.

A woman is taking a hike and sees a rattlesnake appear on the path near her feet. She is startled and as a result, her heart rat
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: False

Explanation:

When there is any dangerous situation or someone is frightened, then the flight and fight system of the body gets activated.

At chemical level the body releases  a series of hormones which makes a person alert of the situation. Rather, the respiratory rate, heartbeat, perspiration also increases in the body.

Adrenaline is the hormone responsible for keeping the person alive and alert at this time and to help the body run out of the situation.

The fat and sugar makes our brochi open wider which increases the heart beat and breathing.

Normally the heart beat or heart rate is controlled by the parasympathetic and  sympathetic nervous system of the body. The sympathetic nervous system controls the fight and flight part and the sympathetic nervous system controls the rest and digest part of the body.

So, it is the sympathetic nervous system which controls the heart beat of the body at the time of flight or fight, not the homeostasis.
