Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Alzheimer's is a progressive degenerative disease that causes cognitive and memory impairment, as well as a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms and behavioral changes that worsen over time. The causes of alzheimer's are still unknown, but researchers believe that for most people, Alzheimer's disease is caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that affect the brain over time.

Thus, there is a linear relationship between age and onset of alzheimer's, the older a person, the greater the chance of the disease to manifest. Usually the disease comes after age 75. The case of Sally's mother, who was diagnosed at a very young age at 50, gives evidence that her illness is manifested by genetic factors.

Kruka [31]

Answer:  B. An individual has an autoimmune disorder that destroys the beta cells of the pancreas.

C. An individual’s insulin receptors are defective.

Explanation:

Diabetes mellitus is a common disease. In this disease the level of sugar in the blood is affected. This occurs when pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the receptors involving insulin also become resistant to insulin, which is a sugar balancing hormone.

Type 1 diabetes involves the complete lack of production of insulin by the beta cells of the pancreas. The beta cells of pancreas are destroyed by the body's self immune system.

Type 2 diabetes involves the development of insulin resistance by the target cells of the body. The insulin secretes but cannot compensate for the increase in blood glucose levels due to due to defective receptors on target cells.

On the basis of above explanation, B. and C. are the correct options.

1. A catheter tip may become wedged against the uttering wall or fetal part preventing recording of pressure data or causing a distorted or truncated waveform. 

2. A catheter tip in relation to external pressure transducer position may record inaccurate pressure readings.
