Enuresis is to bladder control as encompresis is to
A bed-wetting
B diuretics
C soiling
D antidiuretis
i think the correct answer is C
regarding the brains plasility, which of the following statements is most accurate?
A it takes place when myelination fails
B it involves the steady replacement of dendrites by axons
C it increases as we get older
D it's enhanced by dendrite ''sprouting''
i believe the correct is D
Genia, from what I can see, you have the best answers in both cases. However, enuresis is a failure of bladder control, but encopresis is not a failure of soiling. Even so, it seems like the best answer. Enuresis is bed-wetting, diuretics make you more likely to get rid of fluids, and antidiuretics would maintain bodily fluids.
Plasticity is caused by increased connections between neurons, which leads me to D. Failing myelination would lead to slower impulses, plasticity decreases as we get older, and the dendrites do not replace the axons for plasticity.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
For the first question, "enuresis" refers to the involuntary release of urine, commonly known as bed-wetting. So, considering the analogy, "encompresis" would refer to a similar condition related to bowel control. The correct answer is indeed C - soiling.
Regarding the second question on brain plasticity, let's evaluate the options:
A) Brain plasticity does not occur when myelination fails. Myelination is the process of creating a protective sheath around nerve fibers, and it is important for efficient neural communication. While myelination is related to brain development, brain plasticity can still occur even if myelination is impaired. Therefore, option A is inaccurate.
B) The steady replacement of dendrites by axons is not a common process associated with brain plasticity. In fact, dendrites and axons play distinct roles in neural communication. Dendrites receive information from other neurons, while axons transmit information to other neurons. Therefore, option B is incorrect.
C) Brain plasticity does not consistently increase as we get older. Although brain plasticity is most prominent during critical periods in early development, it continues throughout our lives. However, the magnitude of plasticity may decrease with age. Hence, option C is not the most accurate statement.
D) The term "dendrite sprouting" is often associated with brain plasticity. This refers to the growth or branching of dendrites to create new connections or strengthen existing ones. It is an essential mechanism underlying learning and memory processes. Therefore, option D is the most accurate statement.
In summary, the correct answer for the second question is D - brain plasticity is enhanced by dendrite "sprouting."
