To review:
Whether age is a normal development or it is just a random degeneration.
Introduction:
Ageing is a process of different changes in organism showing physical, psychological, and social changes. In biology, aging is the declining ability of stem cells and progenitor cells to restore damaged or nonfunctioning tissues.
Explanation of Solution
Aging is a time-related degeneration of the physiological functions of the body necessary for the survival and fertility. Generally, body
During aging, muscle progenitor (satellite) cell activity decreases due to loss of Notch signaling, resulting in a significant decrease of muscle activity. An age-dependent decline in liver progenitor cell division impairs liver regeneration due to decline in transcription factor cEPBα. Another biological symptom appears graying of mammalian hair due to apoptosis of melanocyte stem cells in the hair bulge niche.
Although, aging is a part of normal development process occurs in every organism but eventually it is a degeneration of normal physiological functions of the body showing age-related symptoms.

- Assignment Objectives: When given a family’s genetic history, deduce the genotypes for specific family members. •Describe the inheritance and expression of various genetic disorders found in humans. •Determine how genetic screening and counseling can be used to help counsel individuals dealing with lethal genetic disorders in their family. Read through each scenario and answer the following questions: a. Determine the genotypes of all individuals discussed in each scenario in addition to yours, your partners’, and your unborn child. For example, “You remember your partner telling you that their father died at an early age of Huntington’s disease.” In this case you would need to determine your partner’s father’s genotype. b. Determine what probability your unborn child will inherit the disorder (be sure to include a Punnett square)? i. If you are unable to determine your child’s chance of inheriting the disorder what additional information do you require? c. Are you worried about…arrow_forwardTopic: Menstruation Cycle 1.

- Question: CONCERNS FOR LABOR AND DELIVERY with a patient wih HIV. Title: Care of pregnant clients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Focus Area: Obstetric Nurse Station Margerie Ramos, a 32-year-old female, who, on her 34th week of pregnancy was transferred to the hospital after coming from a prenatal clinic and reported to be experiencing continuous regular contractions for almost 2 days. This is her third pregnancy. The labor and delivery team were planning to admit her to observe and monitor her baby through a fetal Non-Stress Test and to exclude complications associated with preterm labor. The patient previously agreed to a scheduled repeat C-section since she already had two prior ones. Upon admission, the patient verbalized, “I'm cold, I feel so hot.” Temperature was taken, T=38.5 C. She also reported to be having diarrhea for 3 days now. She weighs 55kgs and has a BP of 120/80 mmHg. She was also observed to be coughing a few times during the interview.
