Colon is the large intestine which absorbs water and minerals from the ingested food and removes the undigested food through rectum. Diverculum is a small tissue sac formed inside the colon. The condition of having Divercula is called as Diverticulosis.

Diverticulosis causes abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea and sometimes bleeding in most people. Some people do not even get any symptoms of having it. The presence of divercula is observed through colonoscopy. If Jessica doesn't have any of the symptoms, then she should not worry about it.

If the doctor prescribes her to get colonoscopy done then she can be positive and hope for the best. Having a medical knowledge can help one in any of the circumstances be it common cold, fever, a disease or if the person has met with an accident.

Movies can have a stronger influence than video games on risk-taking behavior.
Natali [406]
I'd say false because movies portray another person performing the risk-taking behavior, but in a video game it's from your perspective and you have the ability to take risks in a fictional world, which can influence you to take those risks in real life because you've already become comfortable doing it in the fake video game

Nonamiya [84]
If a fetus's chorion tissue is ruptured it would damage the material tissue of the placenta and would cause bleeding. The placenta is responsible for distributing the nutrients, oxygen and removing the waste of the fetus. If this were to happen, in the worst case scenario this would abort the baby.
