The conditions mentioned are both a type of sclerosis, which refers to the hardening of a certain anatomical feature.

In atherosclerosis, the affected anatomical feature is the artery. This is a condition that causes the obstructions of blood flow through the artery as a result of plaque buildup along the artery walls. Unlike with MS, atherosclerosis does not present symptoms until the obstructions are severe or the plaque loosens, which can lead to heart attacks, among other consequences.

In the case of Multiple Sclerosis, the affected anatomical structure is that of the nerve. This is a condition for unknown reasons, causes the immune system to attack the myelin covers of nerve cells which act to protect the cell. The absence of this cover causes the build-up of plaque along the nerve axon, stiffening and disrupting the communication of the nerves with the central nervous system.

In insects what does hemi metabolism indicate

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The hemi metabolism indicates the three distinct stages of the life cycle of some insects: the egg, nymph, and the adult stage, or imago. It has no pupal stage just like the complete metamorphosis that undergoes pupal stage before turning into adult. Insects that undergo hemi metabolous metamorphosis go through gradual changes; develop from eggs into nymphs sometimes called larvae by some entomologists, that are similar in shape to the adults. You can distinguish the nymphs from the adults by looking for wings. Wing buds or wing pads may be present in late stage nymphs, but they are fixed in place against the body and are non-functional compared to the adults whose wings are fully developed.

What would you expect to see in a blood sample of a person who has drowned in salt water? explain in terms of osmosis?

Furkat [3]

The red blood cells would look just fine or normal in the person who has drowned. Water wouldn't be lost because it wouldn't be attracted to the concentration of the salt water and the salt water would be too large to break the barriers.
