When measuring a patient's tympanic temperature, the nurse would angle the thermometer probe in what direction?

Biology

In practice it is enough to simply angle the thermometer towards the direction of the ear canal. More specifically you are trying to target the direction of the tympanic membrane located in the middle ear (one of the parts of the ear; the other parts being outer and inner)

Some maneuvers, although not completely necessary, may include pulling the ear lobe upwards and outwards for babies. This is to straighten the ear canal and is more often done when using otoscopes. For adults, we pull the ear downward and outward.

True or false: Theoretically, it is possible (but very difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while.
Debora [2.8K]

It is true that it is possible for a population to not evolve for a while.

There is something called the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, which characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving.

There are 5 Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:

  • no mutation
  • random mating
  • no gene flow
  • infinite population size
  • and no selection (natural nor forced).

You can see that some of these are kinda extreme and really hard to get, but with approximations, we can work.

For example, instead of an "infinite population size" we have enough with a really large population, such that genetic drift is negligible.

Concluding, yes, it is possible (but really difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while (at least, in nature), as long as the 5 assumptions above are met.

What is the difference between immune deficiency and opportunistic infection?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Immunodeficiency disorders prevent your body from fighting infections and diseases. This type of disorder makes it easier for you to catch viruses and bacterial infections. Immunodeficiency disorders are either congenital or acquired. A congenital, or primary, disorder is one you were born with.  whereas Opportunistic infections (OIs) are infections that occur more frequently and are more severe in people with weakened immune systems, including people with HIV. Many OIs are considered AIDS-defining conditions.

Why accurate biological drawings are more valuable to a scientific investigation than an artistic approach?
viktelen [127]
Scientific drawing is made-up to be precise and founded on real living things or fossils. Artistic drawings do not have to have any origin in realism and it can be abstract and it does not have to tolerate any similarity to any real life object. Artistic drawings are not unavoidably meant to be a faithful reproduction of anything in nature even though that was once the aim in the distant past before the invention of photography. Constructing good biological drawings be situated significant in that they aid to develop more accustomed with the topic over vigilant consideration to the smallest feature. Drawings allow to progress observational skills which is the principle of good science. Good drawings are those that abridge, highlight, review, and explain all at once. For these explanations, consideration to the smallest feature is precise significant. Biological drawings are not destined to be artistic masterpieces but are more like graphic notes that help record a set of observations. As such, these observations must be accomplished in class with the specimen directly observable.
