Answer:

This is synaptic pruning- it removes them

Explanation:

The gaps and the portions of neurons  between adjacent neurons is called synapse.It role is to moderate synaptic connections among neurons.

As organisms (man and other higher animals)develop  from birth to adult,new synaptic connections are formed,and old ones are removed.The process whereby the the axon and dendrite, as part of the synapse, decay  and removed by the brain is called  synaptic pruning or pruning process.

This process begins at childhood and continue till maturity- at mid twenties.it occurs during sleep.

it helps to improve learning and memory,because new connections are  made to replace the old ones,and therefore smooth transition of the brain from childhood to adulthood

Three models have been used to explain pruning-Axon degeneration,retraction and Axon shedding.

According to Jean Kazez, which one of the following is an objective value?
joja [24]

hihi :)

the answer is 2, which is health

Variants on two approaches to the concept of health have dominated the philosophy of medicine, here referred to as 'reductionist' and 'relativist'. These two approaches share the basic assumption that the concept of health cannot be both based on an empirical biological foundation and be evaluative and thus adopt either the view that it is 'objective' or evaluative. It is here argued that there is a subset of value concepts that are formed in recognition of certain fundamental facts about living organisms, among which is the concept of health. These are not yet moral concepts, but they are 'normative' or 'evaluative'. The view is defended that health, so understood, is a fundamental concept in the process of medical diagnosis and treatment.

Why do you think body composition focuses on the ratio of fatty tissue to other body tissue? Why is body composition not related
kykrilka [37]

Fat is a quite simple component to measure. Increased or above normal/ average body fat has been proven to be linked with many health risks.<span> <span>Body weight is not always an accurate indication of body composition. If you were to equate an NFL running back who is 5' 10" and weighs 200 lbs, to a 5'10" 200 lbs. banker, there body composition would be VERY unalike although there weight is exactly the same. Of course the football player is healthier, because he is perhaps carrying one third of the body fat as the banker of the same weight. Maintaining that muscle mass would also infer healthy habits like nutrition and exercise.</span></span>
