How does a fetal pig get its oxygen and get rid of its waste?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Through the placental tissues that join the mother's bodily systems to her fetuses' systems. The umbilical cord is connected to the placenta, which aids in this transmission process, and the placenta is connected to a vast network of capillaries and blood vessels in the sow's uterus and uterine horns which flow throughout the sow, supplying blood and oxygen to her babies and exterminating wastes that are expelled by the fetuses.

Is SCID is a form of cancer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. SCID, or severe combined immunodeficiency, is a disease of the immune system wherein important signaling molecules called interleukins are incapable of transmitting messages to other cells of the immune system. Since some immune cells use interleukin communication to ward off cancer, SCID can predispose individuals to some cancers. But SCID is not a form of cancer in itself.

They can, especially if they have lived their entire lives in a home with a heavy smoker. In sufficient quantities, over long periods of time, a cat's health can be affected by second-hand smoke. Try not to smoke in your home if you have cats or dogs.

Personally, I smoke, and I have tried many times to stop smoking in my home, but I just can't do it (especially in the winter). So I keep my windows open at all times, except in the dead of winter when it's just way too cold for that. But even in the dead of winter, I still open all the windows for 30 to 60 minutes, a couple times a day.

If you can't stop smoking in your home, then make your home as well-ventilated as possible. In addition to opening the windows and airing the place out, you can also get air filters for your home. Some air conditioning units also have an exhaust setting, which sucks the air from inside your home and blows it outside.

No, but it exposes your tongue, mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, large and small intestine and colon, all of which are prone to cancer when exposed to coal tars.

How do cigarettes damage your lungs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After 3 years of continuous smoking you increase your chances by 99.9% of getting lung cancer. Smoking will not only kill you it can kill your loved ones too. The secondhand smoke can be inhaled by kids, animals, other adults, and teens, inhaling the smoke can be deadly and you can stop that happening by not smoking. When you smoke, your lungs turn black with tar and sometimes you can end up with a hole in your neck. that would look weird if someone hade a hole in there neke they couldn't drink or eat. unless yu put it through the hole

How long do you have to smoke cigarettes before you get lung cancer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unfortunately there is no simple answer to this. Doctors have discovered it depends on your genes and other environmental factors as to how long before you are at risk.

Some people have a gene that means that they are very much at risk of developing lung cancer. This could mean that only 6 months worth of smoking will seal their fate. Others could smoke for 60 years and still not get it.

Remember that lung cancer can be caused by other things too. Not only smokers get it.

If you think to yourself that you can smoke for a year and then quit and never feel any effects from it - you are kidding yourself!

AnswerAs mentioned above the risk is heavily influenced by numerous environmental and genetic factors in addition to quantity and duration of tobacco exposure.

The risk of getting cancer is stochastic, comparable to asbestos or uranium exposure, however working forwards from carcinogenicity and metabolism data (NNN NNK and NNAL, ignoring side-stream and secondhand smoke), I estimate that ON AVERAGE 30 cigarettes a day for 14 months, 20 cigarettes a day for 22 months, or 10 cigarettes a day for 41 months will produce a lung tumor. Lung cancer has a 85% chance of being fatal within 5 years.

There are a dozen other serious health problems that will occur even at lower dosages, including many other serious cancers. Technically only 0.0000004 cigarettes is considered "safe" to inhale (based on pollution standards). Second-hand smoke appears to be several times as dangerous, so it is likely those "one-in-a-million" smokers who live to see old age have done some serious damage to their friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and even pets.

I calculated this because I was curious about the toxicity of tobacco (looking for a biochemical way to reduce it, found none) after having witnessed the prevalence of cigarettes and cigars in Holland. About 40% of the students in their 20s (in the area where I stayed) were addicted to cigarettes and could not stop despite trying several times (paradoxically, legal cannabis use was 15%-20% and easy to quit). As a general trend, tobacco smokers and bystanders in their parents generation seem to come down with cancer in their 30s and die from it by their 50s. There also seems to be a very high incidence of emphysema even among non-smokers (confirmed, 2nd highest emphysema deaths in the world!).

AnswerSome people can smoke 40 cigarettes a day for 60/70 years & never get cancer. There is no set time frame for when cancer will occur or if you will get cancer. However it does increase your risk significantly of heart disease & lung disease later on in life. Quit smoking for your own good.

There is a very easy way to not get cancer.... ready for this?....... Dont smoke. :)

*******

It ain't quite as simple as that! Just about everything has been linked to one type of cancer or another - sunshine, skimmed milk, full fat milk, paracetamol, talcum powder, alcohol, fluorescent lighting, Vitamin K, caffeine, asbestos, radon gas, owning a colour TV, grapefruit, sex(!).....

Not smoking may significantly significantly reduce the risk but will not eliminate the risk entirely. The IARC (part of the World Health Organisation) lists nearly 1,000 carcinogens.

That's a load of complete and utter tosh. We are lead to believe that smoking causes 90% of lung cancer cases yet the average age of diagnosis of lung cancer is over 70. Whichs means that non-smoking lung cancer victims live to an average age of around 300!

As for the deaths of 'bystanders', of the 100+ studies on second hand smoke and lung cancer, only around 15% have produced statistically significant evidence (not proof). Some have suggested a statistically significant BENEFIT, particularly for children. The increased risk in the carefully cherrypicked studies is alleged to be 25%, which by normal epidemiological standards is effectively zero. And that is for 'spousal' exposure (i.e 24x7 in the home) over a period of decades.

Can you get cancer in your stamach?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, cancer can develop in the stomach, a condition known as gastric cancer or stomach cancer. Stomach cancer occurs when cells in the lining of the stomach undergo genetic mutations that lead to uncontrolled cell growth. Over time, these cancerous cells form a mass or tumor within the stomach.

Stomach cancer is a relatively uncommon cancer in many parts of the world, but its incidence can vary by geographic region and is more prevalent in some areas, particularly in parts of Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe. The exact cause of stomach cancer is not always clear, but several risk factors have been identified, including:

Helicobacter pylori Infection: Chronic infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a known risk factor for stomach cancer. H. pylori can cause inflammation of the stomach lining, increasing the risk of genetic mutations that lead to cancer.

Dietary Factors: A diet high in salted, smoked, or pickled foods, as well as low in fruits and vegetables, has been associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer.

Tobacco and Alcohol Use: Smoking and heavy alcohol consumption have been linked to a higher risk of stomach cancer.

Family History: A family history of stomach cancer may increase an individual's risk, particularly if multiple family members are affected.

Previous Stomach Surgery: Individuals who have undergone certain types of stomach surgery may have an elevated risk of developing stomach cancer.

Age and Gender: Stomach cancer is more common in older adults, and men are generally at a higher risk than women.

Stomach cancer can be challenging to detect in its early stages because it may not produce noticeable symptoms until it has reached an advanced stage. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, unintentional weight loss, difficulty swallowing, nausea, vomiting, and a feeling of fullness even after consuming small amounts of food.

Treatment for stomach cancer typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The choice of treatment depends on the stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis and the individual's overall health.

Early detection through regular medical check-ups and screenings can significantly improve the prognosis for stomach cancer. Individuals with risk factors or concerning symptoms should seek prompt medical evaluation.

Does using a snorkel improve lung capacity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm no doctor, but I would think just being in an outdoor water activity should be better than sitting at home.

Other than that, snorkeling on the surface is not much more than simple breathing, but if you occasionally hold your breath and shallow-dive to see more, it would be akin to being on shore and holding your breath, if that increases lung function.

How should you take care of your downhill skis?

User Avatar

Asked by JillianG

Downhill ski poles...oh how they are often misused in skiing. The purpose of your ski poles is to help provide balance. However, you don't lean on the them or rely on them too much. Ski balance should originate from your core abdominal muscles, buttocks, and legs. How you place your shoulders while skiing makes a difference as well. You want to keep your shoulders square to the hill or in other words, facing the bottom of the hill. You plant your ski pole as you are initiating a turn. You plant one ski pole at a time. For example, you plant your left ski pole as you are turning to the left. And vice versa - you plant your right ski pole as you are turning to the right. Do not lift your ski pole high in the air. This is a waste of time and energy. Instead quickly and smoothly plant it into the ground and remove it at the completion of your turn.
