K.B., a 32-year-old fitness instructor, had noticed a "tiny hard lump" at the base of her left nostril while cleansing her face.

The lesion had been present for about two months when she consulted a dermatologist. She had recently moved north from Florida, where she had worked as a lifeguard. She thought the lump might have been triggered by the regular tanning salon sessions she had used to retain her tan because it did not resemble the acne pustules, blackheads, or resulting scars of her adolescent years. Although dermabrasion had removed the obvious acne scars and left several areas of dense skin, this lump was brown-pigmented and different. K.B. was afraid it might be a malignant melanoma. On examination, the dermatologist noted a small pearly-white nodule at the lower portion of the left ala (outer flared portion of the nostril). There were no other lesions on her face or neck.
A plastic surgeon excised the lesion and was able to reapproximate the wound edges without a full-thickness skin graft. The pathology report identified the lesion as a basal cell carcinoma with clean margins of normal skin and subcutaneous tissue and stated that the entire lesion had been excised. K.B. was advised to wear SPF 30 sun protection on her face at all times and to avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning salons.

K.B.âs basal cell carcinoma may have been caused by chronic exposure to the sun and use of an ultraviolet tanning bed. The scientific explanation for this is the:_______

a. autoimmune response
b. actinic effect
c. allergic reaction
d. sunblock tanning lotion theory

Answer: actinic effect

Explanation:

Since we are informed that K.B.âs basal cell carcinoma may have been caused by the chronic exposure to the sun and use of an ultraviolet tanning bed.

We should note that the reason for this can be due to actinic effect. Actinic effect occurs when a radiant energy results into a chemical effect. The sun is known to be a producer of radiant energy.

In your own words describe the path food takes once it enter your mouth.(will give brainliest)
denis23 [38]

Answer: The digestive tract starts by chewing and swallowing food. From there the food travels down the esophagus easily because it goes with a liquid Siliva enzyme. After, the food goes into the stomach where it is processed into a thick liquid called chyme. It then travels to the lower part of the stomach known as the atrium where it is ready to be released into the small intestine. The small intestine, or small bowel, is a hollow tube about 20 feet long that runs from the stomach to the beginning of the large intestine. The small intestine breaks down food from the stomach and absorbs much of the nutrients from the food. The food then travels to the large intestine where salts and sugars that could not be digested are absorbed. The rectum stores the stool, then the anus pushes it out in a bowl movement.

I wrote it all myself.
