Answer:

It is recommended to get a flu shot every year as the flu shot only provides protection against the flu for about 6 months. An individual's immune protection from the vaccination declines over time, so they need a new vaccine for optimal protection. In addition, flu viruses evolve and mutate very quickly. New flu vaccines are administered every year to address the rapidly adapting flu virus.

Answer:

The correct answer is (b) epinephrine.

Explanation:

Epinephrine, also known as <em>Adrenaline</em>, is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands.

In medicine, epinephrine is used as a stimulant in cardiac arrest, as a vasoconstrictor in shock and as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic in bronchial asthma.

When epinephrine is inhaled in small doses, it causes short-term relief from the symptoms by widening the bronchial tubes allowing air to pass through.
