Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Chitin is a long-chain polymer of a N-acetylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose. It is a characteristic component of the cell walls of fungi, exoskeletons of arthropods such as crustaceans (e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps) and insects, the radulae of molluscs, and the beaks and internal shells of cephalopods, including squid and octopuses.

You are in an ambulance taking a young adult male to Springville Hospital Emergency Department. The patient was at a barbecue cutting some ribs when the knife slipped and cut him in the stomach. Emergency Department physicians note that the patient is complaining of chest pain and stomach pain around the knife wound. The patient is short of breath, coughing, and breathing rapidly. He is also showing redness and extreme swelling just below the waist. The ambulance crew is somewhat perplexed by the fact that the patient is showing breathing problems as a result of this wound. The knife wound has altered the body's structure. It is the job of emergency department physicians and medical laboratory personnel to determine which parts of the body are being affected. Then, they must determine what is causing the problems and whether the symptoms are all related to the knife injury. Which part(s) of the body may be damaged?

La fuerza del sonido ¿Tiene un valor propio los sonidos; un valor significante? Eso parece; al menos en una cierta cantidad de palabras donde resaltan por encima de su etimología. Incluso el sonido actúa con fuerza propia también cuando el significante queda indemne, porque a menudo lo refuerza o lo matiza. La voz “tormenta” se acompaña con el repiqueteo de la t que rememora la lluvia sobre los cristales, pero la palabra “Tromba” nos lleva por delante con la fuerza de su agua. […] Valoramos el sonido cuando damos nombre a un hijo, incluso a nuestro perro. Desconoceos generalmente el significado de los nombres ajenos, casi nunca nos planteamos la etimología de las palabras como Teresa, Irene, Julia, Lucas, Ruth, Cristina, Leonor, Carmen, Emma, Sara, Isabel, Marta, Enrique, Joaquín, Javier, José, Carlos, Emilio, Fernando, Antonio, Jaime, Juan, Wilfredo, Miguel, Santiago, Adolfo… y sus sílabas nos empujan y nos seducen, hasta el punto que se teoriza sobre la influencia del nombre en el propio comportamiento. […] No otorgamos a un niño el nombre de alguien a quien odiamos. La palabra usada influye. Su contexto la anatematiza o la endulza. El 1978 se presentó a las elecciones para el Senado por Massachusetts un candidato semidesconocido llamado Paul Hongas. Al poco de comenzar la campaña, su fama era enorme, muy por encima del resto de candidato, gracias a un anuncio televisivo en el que un niño pronunciaba con especial gracia su nombre. La peculiar pronunciación se hizo tan popular que, de la noche a la mañana, el candidato pasó de ser un desconocido a ocupar un lugar privilegiado en la mente de sus votantes. […] Todos estos casos evidentes nos pueden servir para tomar razón de la fuerza que adquieren los sonidos y su capacidad para trasmitir con ellos significados anejos, casi imperceptibles. El sonido envuelve las palabras, es la presentación y el vestido; y como los adornos en un plato de restaurante o la ropa que elegimos para una fiesta, influyen en el concepto de fondo, igual que la primera impresión que percibimos sobre la comida o sobre las personas se relacionan con el primer examen sensorial completo que hacemos de ellas. Alex Grijelmo: La seducción de las palabras (fragmento.2015) IDENTIFICA EN EL TEXTO LA TESIS (COLOR ROJO) Y EL CUERPO DE LA ARGUMENTACIÓN (COLOR VERDE)
