Answer:
the protective effect breast milk has against obesity decreases if a mother continues nursing beyond one year.
Explanation:
A breast milk can be defined as the milk produced by a woman after delivering a child (childbirth), especially as a source of food and essential nutrients.
The advantages of the breast milk provided by a mother to her child (baby) include the following;
I. It prevents illness and infection because it contains antibodies.
II. It contains colostrum that serves as the first form of immunization for infants or babies.
III. Infants that are given birth to prematurely but who are well breast-fed usually perform better on IQ tests and have overall better cognitive performance.
All of the aforementioned statements are advantages of breast milk except that, the protective effect breast milk has against obesity decreases if a mother continues nursing beyond one year.
This simply means that, when a nursing mother continues to breastfeed her baby for over a year, it reduces its protective effect against obesity.
George could have been more concise with his report especially since the patient came in on a helicopter and is most likely emergent. An hour is too long for a report and he took up the nurses time, when Cheikh could’ve been with the patient.
Also, using complex medical terms may not be the best idea in an emergent setting because people might forget their meaning, or mishear the word as something else. Describing the state and history of the patient is much more effective than trying to sound smart in a critical situation.
Answer:
The best answer to your question: Which type of neuroglia would play a role in controlling glutamate levels in the chemical environment, would be: Astrocytes.
Explanation:
From among the neuroglia, or support cells in the brain, whose purpose is to aid neurons in their different functions, astrocytes are not just one of the most numerous, but also one of the most vital for neuronal support. Amongst one of their most central functions is to help in the control of neurotransmitter emition and retention in the synaptic cleft, between two communicating neurons, and therefore, helps regulate the responses from post-synaptic, and pre-synaptic neurons. It is also responsible for clearing up the presence of ions in the extracellular space, and producing ATP, which regulates the amount of neurotransmitters that are released, and taken, by pre-synaptic, and post-synaptic neurons.
In ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) the issue with glutamate, a neurotransmitter that excites post-synaptic neurons into releasing excess amounts of calcium, is that this hyper-excitatory response leads neurons, particularly motor neurons, to die, and this is what causes ALS. It has been found through research that astrocytes have to do in this process, but it is not clear yet whether there is a failure in their control system, as ALS is still a condition that is very much under study and still without a cure.
