The first step in the progression of compartment syndrome is: a. blood flow to the area is lost, and the limb itself may be lost if the pressure is not relieved. b. a fracture or crush injury causes bleeding or swelling in an extremity. c. cellular damage occurs and causes additional swelling. d. pressure and swelling caused by bleeding within a muscle compartment becomes so great that the body can no longer perfuse the tissues against the pressure.

Answer is B. a fracture or crush injury causes bleeding or swelling in an extremity.

Explanation:

Compartment syndrome is a painful condition in which there is an increased pressure within muscles or one of the body's compartment, resulting in insufficient blood supply or blood flow to tissue around or within the area.

It majorly affects the compartments of the leg or arm, and could be acute or chronic.

An acute compartment syndrome requires a surgical emergency, while the chronic is not a medical emergency.

Some of the symptoms are severe pain, numbness and pale color of the affected area.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
