kvasek [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is cardiac tamponade.

Explanation:

Cardiac tamponade is the cause of the pericardial space being filled with liquid. This syndrome occurs in emergencies, as is the example of a stab penetrating wound and <u>if it is not treated urgently it can result in pulmonary edema, shock and even death. </u>

What happens in this case is that the pericardium receives a high pressure which causes that the pumping of blood it is not carried out correctly, and the heart is compressed decreasing the filling during diastole.

The most appropriate procedure to treat this type of emergency is a <u>pericardiocentesis </u>that allows <u>studying and draining the fluid lodged in the pericardium so that the pressure can decrease.</u>

Using the brake pedal analogy, explain the impact of ONE mutated tumor suppressor gene allele versus TWO mutated tumor suppresso
GrogVix [38]

The tumor suppressors allele is analogous to the brake pedal in a vehicle while cyclins are like the gas pedal. The tumor supressors regulate, negatively, the replication of cells. If the tumor supressor is mutated, this is analogous to the brake pedals of the vehicle being broken,   This means that if two are broken, then the vehicle will be unable to stop and will continue moving. This same way, if tumor suppressors are mutated, the replication of cells will continue unregulated and casue a tumor.
