Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.

Explanation:

In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.

Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.

Common features of osteoporosis are:

--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.

--> bone pain

--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.

It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.

Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.

Describe a method of calculating the flow rate in the normal pump versus the pump with the narrowed vessels you described above.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Taking into account that:

The flow velocity u of a fluid is a vector field

u = u (x, t)

What gives the velocity of a Fluid Plot at position x y time t.

q = || u ||

Now if the flow is continuous as it happens in the blood vessels then:

The flow of a fluid is said to be constant if it does not move over time, that is why the variant would be 0.

Explanation:

As for the pump with narrow vessels, there the area would be less, therefore the flow also and the flow velocity as well. Adding that the friction with the walls increases as it is narrower, thus generating an increase in pressure with the flow of the liquid.

So this is where we have to put emphasis on the biophysics branch that explains the following:

The Venturi effect is explained by the Bernoulli Principle and the principle of continuity of mass. If the flow rate of a fluid is constant but the section decreases, the speed necessarily increases after crossing this section. By the theorem of conservation of mechanical energy, if the kinetic energy increases, the energy determined by the value of pressure necessarily decreases.

Indeed, according to Bernoulli's principle:

P 1 + 21 ρv 12 + ρgh 1 = P 2 + 21 ρv 22 + ρgh 2

ANEK [815]

Most health experts recommend eating tuna a few times a week and eating shark few times a month because: eating these fish could result in the buildup of pollutants in fat tissue of humans.

<h3>Why health experts recommend tuna and shark to be consumed less?</h3>

Large fish like sharks and tuna feed on smaller fish and can accumulate high levels of environmental pollutants like mercury and the risk also increases as off-shore pollution increases.

Shark meat is recommended only a few times a month because sharks are apex predators who accumulate high levels of toxic chemicals and heavy metals from both skin absorption and from consuming prey. This is called bioaccumulation.
