Walking down a dark New York street late at night you suddenly feel the metal barrel of a pistol press against your head behind

your ear and hear the instructions "Don’t move a muscle while I slip your wallet out of your pocket." Unfortunately, you do move, the gun is fired, and the bullet enters the brain. Breathing and heart beat stop almost immediately. Where is the bullet?

Answer:

in the Brain Stem

Explanation:

When the gun has fired the casing of the bullet would have been expelled from the gun and most likely landed on the floor, while the projectile in this scenario would have entered the victim's brain and destroyed the brain stem. Most likely stopping in the brainstem or nearby it. This is the most likely scenario because the brainstem is what completely controls the bodies breathing, heart rate, and other important functions of the body by giving it instructions. Damage to the brain stem would cause breathing and heartbeat to stop immediately as all communication would come to a complete stop between the brain these organs.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Las respuestas II, III y IV son correctas

Explanation:

La papera, también conocida como parotiditis, es una enfermedad vírica altamente contagiosa causada por un virus de la familia Paramyxoviridae, la cual se desarrolla principalmente en las glándulas parótidas situadas a ambos lados de la mandíbula. La inmunidad a esta enfermedad puede ser lograda a partir de la aplicación de la vacuna triple viral, cuyo nombre se debe a que esta vacuna también permite adquirir inmunidad contra los virus del sarampión y la rubéola. Por otra parte, la varicela es también una enfermedad muy contagiosa que se presenta generalmente en niños, la cual es causada por el herpesvirus de varicela-zoster. Esta enfermedad se caracteriza por la presencia de erupciones rojas en la piel que causan picazón, lo cual a su vez genera lesiones cutáneas. Tanto la varicela como la papera sólo se producen una vez ya que una vez contagiado el organismo adquiere inmunidad frente a estos virus a través de un mecanismo adaptativo en el cual linajes específicos de linfocitos B capaces de secretar anticuerpos específicos contra ambos virus proliferan rápidamente a través de un proceso conocido como expansión monoclonal, con lo cual el sistema inmune adquiere memoria inmunológica.
