Answer: yes

Sudden blindness (total or near-total vision loss) in one eye is a medical emergency. In many instances, you have a short window of time for diagnosis and treatment to avoid permanent blindness. Temporary loss of vision may also be a warning sign of a serious problem, such as stroke

Explanation:

According to Scientific American.org, "Consider the case of a man known as GY. Damage to his visual cortex resulted in complete blindness in one half of the visual field. He could not consciously see anything, not even a spot of light, shown to him in that region. Yet when asked to reach out and touch the spot, he could do so accurately; he could touch a spot he couldn’t see! It seems downright spooky, but, as you will soon learn, we can explain—at least partially—his condition, known as blindsight, in terms of the multiple specialized anatomical pathways devoted to vision that we mentioned earlier. [For more on blindsight, see 'Subconscious Sight,' by Susana Martinez-Conde; Scientific American Mind, April/May 2008.]"

Yes, because the occipital lobe controls vision, not the eyes. So, the eyes can have no problems and a person can be blind if they have serious damage to their occipital lobe.

Congenital Galactosemia typically appears only in infants because with maturation, most children develop another enzyme capable
Savatey [412]

Answer: The dietary changes that should be made is that milk and milk containing products should be avoided in diets.

Explanation:

Congenital Galactosemia is an autosomal recessive disorder due to galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase(Gal-1-PUT).

Galactose is necessary for the formation of cerebrosides, of some glycoproteins and , during lactation, of milk. Excess is rapidly converted into glucose by Gal-1-PUT. The symptoms of galactosemia only become apparent if the infant is taking milk or milk containing products. This will lead to a rise in plasma galactose concentration.

Its incidence is about 1 per 18,000 births. Since it's a condition that occurs at or before birth, infants are screened by identification of galactose with thin layer chromatography and by demonstrating a deficiency of Gal-1-PUT activity in erythrocytes.

If the infant does not receive treatment then there is a 75% chance of death. Therefore, dietary changes should be made which is that milk and milk containing products should be avoided in diets.

Blood flow to a tissue will decrease if the:
34kurt

Answer: D) precapillary sphincters relax.

Explanation:

 Blood flow to a tissue will decrease if precapillary sphincters relax as, capillaries provides glucose and oxygen to the cells and allows blood to flow through it when the muscle ring known as the precapillary Sphincters get relaxed. The blood flow is stopped when the precapillary sphincters constrict flow of blood. As, certain chemical signals causes feeder arterioles to dilate and bring more blood into local areas then, it causes precapillary sphincters to relax.
