CLC Practice Test - Random Facts

What are the reconnaissance techniques Reconnaissance Pull Reconnaissance Push Explain reconnaissance push Used when Cmdrs have a relatively thorough understanding of the operational environment and push recon assets to specific areas Explain reconnaissance pull Used when Cmdrs are uncertain of threat in the AO, information on terrain is vague, and time is limited where recon assets gain info on threat weakness and pull the main body into a tactical advantage. What are the reconnaissance methods Dismounted reconnaissance Mounted reconnaissance Arial reconnaissance Reconnaissance by fire What are the reconnaissance forms Zone reconnaissance Area reconnaissance Route reconnaissance Reconnaissance in force Special reconnaissance As feeding frequency decreases, what happens? prolactin levels decrease What happens during lactogenesis I (secretory differentiation)? colostrum is produced When does lactogenesis I end? when the placenta is delivered What happens during lactogenesis II (secretory activation)? progesterone decreases over the span of days, colostrum begins to mix with milk What happens during lactogenesis III (galactopoesis)? production of mature milk What needs to happen for lactogenesis III to be successful? frequent milk removal and nipple stimulation (prolactin) When is the paracellular pathway present? early breastfeeding when both progesterone and prolactin are present What is the difference between the paracellular pathway and the transcellular pathway? The paracellular pathway is characterized by large spaces between milk cells, allowing blood components to pass more freely; the transcellular pathway is characterized by tight junctions and cellular control Grade 1 inverted nipples: easily pulled out with pumping or nursing Grade 2 inverted nipples: can be pulled out but don't maintain projection after nursing Grade 3 inverted nipples: difficult/impossible to pull out, rare to have on both breasts Women with inverted nipples may have lower... prolactin levels due to decreased stimulation/stretching
