Answer:
whooping cough
Explanation:
whooping cough along with multiple other respiratory diseases are required to be treated by droplet precautions since they are often airborne.
Answer:
The correct answer is option B- pressure within the alveoli.
Explanation:
Intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure within the lungs especially in the alveoli of the lungs so is also known as "intra-alveolar pressure".
This pressure helps in the breathing process as :
1. During inspiration - The thoracic cavity volume increases due to which the intra-pulmonary pressure becomes less than the atmospheric pressure which causes the lungs to inhale about 500 ml of air.
2. During expiration- the thoracic volume decreases which cause the intra-pulmonary pressure larger than atmospheric pressure which causes the lungs to exhale the air.
Thus, option B- pressure within the alveoli is the correct answer.
Answer:
c. The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function.
Explanation:
Glucagon is the enzymes synthesized and released by alpha cells of endocrine pancreas in association with food. Glucagon causes an increase in blood glucose levels and it does so by :
1) Inhibiting the process of glycolysis so that the glucose is used less.
2) Stimulating the breakdown of glycogen to increase the glucose concentration in the blood.
3) Stimulating gluconeogenesis in the liver thus increasing the synthesis of glucose in liver.
All these processes directly increase the level (concentration) of glucose in blood.
Hence option C) The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function is true
