Answer:

Angioplasty

Explanation:

Angioplasty: Angioplasty is an invasive but nonsurgical procedure to open up blocked arteries. Using a balloon catheter, a surgeon can stretch the artery walls and flatten fatty deposits. The surgeon then inserts a stent (small tube) to keep the artery open.

Directions: Imagine that you are writing an article for a health magazine. Your task is to write an essay about health awareness
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Engaging in physical activities (such as exercise) helps in maintaining good health. Exercise assists in breaking down excess fat in the body (thus preventing obesity) which on the long run could lead to atherosclerosis; thus it can be said that exercise reduces the risk of heart diseases since atherosclerosis is a risk factor for several heart diseases.

Physical activities also help to maintain blood sugar levels - this is done by the muscle cells that use up more glucose (from sugar) during exercise. Thus, as the glucose is taken up (by insulin) and then broken down the cells, less glucose is present in the blood.

Physical activities also assist in improving brain function; as the heart pumps more oxygen during this period, the brain also receives a good portion of this oxygen and some other hormones which makes a good environment for brain cells.

From the benefits discussed above, it can be seen that exercise can help in the prevention of some diseases (such as diabetes, obesity, brain damage) and can also help in reducing the risk of some diseases (such as cardiovascular diseases).

Find the rate of decay
marishachu [46]
We can calculate the rate of decay by this formula Rate of Decay Formula

The rate of decay for radioactive particles is a first order decay process. This means it follows an exponential decay pattern which can be easily calculated.

Nt = the amount of radioactive particles are time (t)

N0 = the amount of radioactive particles at time = 0

λ = rate of decay constant

t = time

Taking the natural log of both sides of this equation (remember it is an exponential decay) will yield:
