Paraplegia is paralysis that involves loss of motor and sensory control of the trunk and two extremities. In addition, paraplegia for the most part is the result of a spinal cord injury due to an accident or other trauma. Most common accidents contain motor vehicle accidents and falls in those aged over 65.

It would be most difficult for the body to maintain homeostasis if over several days someone had an inadequate intake of:_______
Liula [17]

If someone had an inadequate intake of sodium over several days, it would be most difficult for the body to maintain homeostasis.

<h3>Why is sodium important for homeostasis? </h3>

Most of the sodium in our body is present in the extracellular fluid (ECF). The concentration of sodium in the body is measured relative to the amount of water in the body.

Maintaining proper sodium concentration is therefore essential for maintaining water balance in the body. It also helps in the proper functioning of neurons by assisting in the conduction of impulses.

Sodium concentration is also important for muscle contraction. Proper sodium concentration maintains osmolality of the extracellular fluid which maintains the volume of blood and plasma in the body.

Therefore, an inadequate intake of sodium, over several days will affect the homeostasis of the body.

What do you call the red pigment found in vertebrates that functions in oxygen transport?
slava [35]
There are actually two red pigments found in certain vertebrates that function in oxygen transport (or storage). Hemoglobin is present in the blood of most vertebrates and binds oxygen molecules, in order to transport them to body tissues in need of oxygen for energy (ATP) production.
Myoglobin, mainly in mammals, is a protein (enzyme) found in red (skeletal) muscle cells, that aids in binding oxygen when it's plentiful being delivered via blood. The purpose is that in high stress, low oxygen situations such as strenuous exercise, the myoglobin releases its bound oxygen to provide it to the starving overworked muscle cells.
**Fun fact: it's the hemoglobin that gives the bright red color of blood when it's bound to oxygen, and the myoglobin of mammal flesh gives it the typical pinkish-red hue that is seen in mammalian meat (veal, steak, ham, venison, bison, etc.). Other non-mammalian animals (fish, birds, frogs, snake, alligator, etc.) tend to have lighter-colored skeletal muscle meat due to the lack of myoglobin, amongst other factors.
