(к части 4)

1. Although there js no clear evidence that hypertension can be prevented by staying thin, keeping one's salt intake low, and eating a lot of green vegetables, and fruit 122

with high potassium content, it seems reasonable to pursue such a course especially if one is slightly obese and has a family history of hypertension.

2. As far as transplant surgery is concerned, man's best friend is the pig. Pig heart
valves, for instance, can be used as replacements for human ones, while, in
emergencies, pig skin has been grafted to deal with severe burns. Because pig
tissues are the nearest in chemical composition to those of man, they are not so
readily rejected by the defence systems of the recipients' bodies as tissues from
other animals.

3. When a muscle contracts many changes occur in it besides shortening. One
change that is not obvious, but which can be demonstrated by suitable apparatus,
is that it develops what is known as a " current of action". That part of a muscle
which is contracting becomes negative to that part which is quiescent, and a
current that can be measured by a galvanometer flows from one part to the other.

4. It is well to remember that all drugs can cause both wanted and unwanted effects
on the body. The unwanted ones are called side effects, and these must be
balanced against the effects desired in determining if a particular drug will do
more harm than good. It is a fact that all drugs have the potential to be both
beneficial and harmful.

5. There are two types of bone: those that develop by replacing cartilage and those
that form directly from connective tissue. The latter, which include the bones of
the cranium, are usually platelike in shape and form in the skin of the developing
embryo. The cranium is moulded to the contours of the brain; it is the growth of
the brain that determines the shape of the bones and not vice versa.

6. The most obviously unusual thing about blood is that it is a liquid, whereas other
tissues of the body are solid or semisolid. The blood is divided into two parts: a
watery portion, the plasma, and the formed elements. It is the formed elements
which give blood its viscosity. It is because the formed elements do not adhere to
each other but float individually in the blood that blood remains fluid.

7. Since the number of red corpuscles in the blood stream remains fairly constant
though they are being continually destroyed, it is obvious that they must be
replenished from time to time. It is clear that it is not concentration of red blood
cells in the blood that controls the rate of red cell production, but instead it is the
functional ability of cells to transport oxygen to the tissues in relation to tissue
demand for oxygen.

8. In bronchial asthma there is widespread narrowing of airways, varying over short
periods of time either spontaneously or as a result of treatment, due in varying
degree to contraction (spasm) of smooth muscle, edema of the mucosa, chronic
or recurrent local inflammation of the submucosa with eventual fibrosis, and
excessive mucus in the lumen of the bronchi and bronchioles; these changes are
caused by the local release of spasmagens and vasoactive substances (e.g. histamine
or prostaglandins) in the course of an allergic process.
