Question

1. list 5 populations that are more susceptible to heat illnesses.

a.
b.
c.
d.
e.

1. what are the 3 different types of torts?
2. match the following terms

acclimatization
a. height increases, oxygen decreases resulting in performance decrease and fewer red blood cells transporting oxygen to the body
frostbite
b. combination of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter
heat exhaustion
c. objective measure for determining precautions concerning participation in hot; measures heat and humidity
heat stroke
d. adapting to the environment
wbgt
e. exposure to cold, skin is pale/waxy and could be red, swollen, and necrotic
smog
f. sudden catabolic destruction and degeneration of skeletal muscle
altitude sickness
g. life - threatening, body temperature over 105, drastic measures are needed, and could lead to death
rhabdomyolysis
h. due to inadequate fluid replacement, may develop cramps, body temp high but not over 105, could progress to heat stroke

Explanation:

1. Populations more susceptible to heat - illnesses include the elderly due to reduced thermoregulation, young children as their bodies are still developing thermoregulatory mechanisms, those with chronic medical conditions like heart or lung diseases which can affect circulation and respiration, individuals taking certain medications (e.g., diuretics) that can impact fluid balance, and athletes or workers who are exposed to high - heat environments for long periods.
2. The three types of torts are intentional torts (where the wrongdoer acts with intent, like battery), negligent torts (where a person fails to exercise reasonable care, like a car accident due to distracted driving), and strict liability torts (where liability is imposed without proof of fault, such as product liability for a defective product).

• Acclimatization: d. Adapting to the environment
• Frostbite: e. Exposure to cold, skin is pale/waxy and could be red, swollen, and necrotic
• Heat Exhaustion: h. Due to inadequate fluid replacement, may develop cramps, body temp high but not over 105, could progress to heat stroke
• Heat Stroke: g. Life - threatening, body temperature over 105, drastic measures are needed, and could lead to death
• WBGT: c. Objective measure for determining precautions concerning participation in hot; measures heat and humidity
• Smog: b. Combination of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter
• Altitude Sickness: a. Height increases, oxygen decreases resulting in performance decrease and fewer red blood cells transporting oxygen to the body
• Rhabdomyolysis: f. Sudden catabolic destruction and degeneration of skeletal muscle
