Three effects of constipation​

Biology
1 answer:
algol133 years ago
6 0

1. Infections

If you end up being constipated, you are probably having trouble passing a stool. If the stool has become dry and hard from lack of moisture, it could make having a bowel movement painful. When the rectum is stretched out to accommodate the painful stool, the rectum could stay open resulting in rectal prolapse. This could lead to an infection.

 

2. Bad breath

One unusual side effect is bad breath. You may wonder how a condition that is occurring at one end of your body could affect the complete opposite end of your body, but it can. What happens is the gasses and toxic waste that are building up because you are constipated rises up and as it goes throughout the body and it usually ends up in your mouth.

3. Lowered ratio of healthy bacteria

Healthy bacteria in your body is called flora. The purpose of flora is to help with the production of vitamins and helps with your immune system. When you are constipated the amount of flora in your intestine is reduced putting you at risk for illness and infection.

Extra Options

4. Colon cancer

The colon is meant to store a couple of pounds of stools. If you become constipated, there is a buildup of stools and puts the colon at risk for ripping. When the colon becomes strained because it is overloaded, it strains the inner membrane. Ruptures and possible infections occur and it could lead to colon cancer.

 

5. Increased toxins

Your skin will show on the outside what your body is going through on the inside. If you become constipated, you will suffer an excess of toxins in your body. The skin, your largest organ, has to work overtime to get rid of these toxins. If your skin looks less than glowing you need to address the issues that are going on inside of your body before you start looking for a new facial cream.

Genes a, b, and c are known to be in that linear order in an organism. A testcross is done that yields 20 double crossover proge
larisa [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

The observed frequency of the double crossovers (DCOs) is 20/1000, or 0.02. If there is no interference then this will be the same as the expected, which is just the product of the single crossover frequencies, that is, SCO frequency (a-b) x SCO freq. (b-c) = 0.02.

(a) Any combination of map distances whose product (a-b) x (b-c) = 0.02 is possible. However, three are most likely:

a 20 mu b 10 mu c

a 10 mu b 20 mu c

a 14.14 mu b 14.14 mu c

(b) The distances would be exactly the same.

(c) The expected number of DCO progeny would be 17.

The cell bodies of sensory neurons that are in clusters of neurons outside the spinal cord are called ____.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The cell bodies of sensory neurons that are in clusters of neurons outside the spinal cord are called  ____

The answer is "dorsal root ganglia"

Explanation:

Explanations of some terms

Sensory neurons:

Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, have cell bodies that are located in the dorsal ganglia (also known as  spinal ganglia) of the spinal cord. Most sensory neurons have one axon which is split into two branches, they transmit impulses toward the spinal cord.

Spinal cord:

The spinal cord is a tubular structure composed of nervous tissue housed within the vertebral column, runs from the base of the brain to the lower spine. Spinal cord is a component of the Central Nervous System that serves as information highway the between brain and the body which Integrates and processes information. It can function with the brain and can also function independently of the brain.

Dorsal root ganglia:

Dorsal root ganglia also known as dorsal ganglia originated as bipolar cells. They exists within the peripheral nervous system and they have special nerve cell clusters that aid in transmitting the sensory messages of pain and touch. The dorsal root ganglia receive information from sensory receptor organs and transmitting the information to the central nervous system.
