The definition of high blood pressure -- anything above 140/90 -- remains the same under the new guidelines, James said. Lifestyle changes should be used to treat people who have high blood pressure readings that fall below the level where medicine is needed, he explained.
No. Mammals are divided into three infraclasses: monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals. A giraffe is a placental mammal. This means that the baby is born live, and that it is born developed enough that it will not have to immediately crawl onto the mother's nipple and attach itself. In fact, baby giraffes can walk seconds after being born.
Marsupials. Marsupials are also known as metatherian mammals, and are one of three classifications of mammals. The others are the monotremes (the native Australian platypus and echidna are the only members of this group) and the eutherian, or placental, mammals to which all other mammals belong.
