Explanation:

A urinalysis can be define as a specific test of the urine. It is used to detect and manage a wide range of diseases and disorders, such as urinary tract infections, function of the kidney and diabetes.

The specific gravity test is a kind of urinalysis that checks the ratio of urine density compared to that of the density of water. It gives an idea about the kidney's capacity and ability to concentrate the urine. It is the routine part of the urinalysis. The range of reference for specific gravity is 1.005-1.030.  

Answer:

a. satorius

Explanation:

The sartorius muscle is a two-joint muscle that moves both the hip and knee joints. Although anatomically considered a thigh extensor, its contraction actually causes a flexion of the hip joint. This is due to its location in the anterior (extensor) compartment of the thigh. Additionally, it is involved in abduction and external rotation of the hip joint.

In the knee joint, it forces an internal flexion and rotation. Flexion movement is the result of tendon insertion into the knee joint behind the flexor-extensor axis. When all five movements are performed simultaneously the legs cross in meditation position. Thus, the muscle is most easily palpable in this position.

Answer:

a) anemia

Explanation:

The hematocrit is a measure of the volume of erythrocytes compared to the total blood volume.

The normal hematocrit levels are:

Men: 40 - 54 %

Women: 36 - 48 %

Children: 37 - 45 %

In all cases, a hematocrit of 30 is a low level. That means that the person has fewer Red Blood Cells in their blood than normal, which is characteristic of anemia.

Answer:

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

The main function of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is to reduce extracellular fluid volume by increasing renal sodium excretion.

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone, produced by the adrenal cortex, that is part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system which helps to maintain blood pressure. Aldosterone increases reabsorption of sodium and potassium excretion, and as a result an increase in extracellular fluid volume and in blood pressure.  

In conclusion, ANP reduces aldosterone secretion.

All provided statements about the hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are true except for the one claiming it increases aldosterone secretion. In reality, ANP inhibits aldosterone secretion.

The hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has several important functions related to fluid and electrolyte balance. ANP is indeed produced by cells in the heart (A) and promotes sodium loss in the kidneys (B), which can help to lower blood volume and pressure. ANP also reduces the sensation of thirst (C) and acts to suppress secretion of the antidiuretic hormone ADH (D). These effects all work together to reduce fluid and sodium retention. However, the statement that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) increases aldosterone secretion (E) is not correct. In fact, ANP inhibits aldosterone secretion. Aldosterone is another hormone that promotes sodium and fluid retention, so ANP works against it to reduce these effects.

Answer:

The correct term to use to fill in the blank fort he question: Hard mineral deposit that accumulates around the teeth is called:___, would be, tartar.

Explanation:

Because of bad mouth hyginie, and also due to other factors, some people tend to get a really tough mineralized plaque that can only be treated, once it forms, by dental professionals. These hardened plaques, which are now mineral deposits are known as tartar, and the problem with it is that tartar covers the tooth and becomes a binding site for further plaque and for bacteria that can cause other problems. This tartar can also be known as dental calculus and it is much tougher than plaque alone. Once tartar is formed, the teeth begin to stain and those stains cannot be removed because they are literally adhered to them. Only professional processes will remove tartar.

The hard mineral deposit that forms around the teeth is called dental calculus or tartar. It is the result of calcified plaque, which forms due to bacterial activity. Proper oral hygiene and professional cleaning are necessary to manage it. Option c is correct.

Dental calculus forms when plaque, a biofilm of bacteria, proteins, and carbohydrates, becomes hardened through calcification. This typically occurs due to the metabolic activity of bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, which produce acids that facilitate the mineralization of plaque.

Over time, if plaque is not removed through regular oral hygiene practices like brushing and flossing, it can calcify into a tough, crusty deposit. Once formed, dental calculus cannot be removed by brushing alone and requires professional dental cleaning.

Complete question as follows:

Hard mineral deposit that accumulates around the teeth is called ___________.

a. Calcium

b. Plaque

c. Tartar

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Changes in the immune system that accompany aging include:__, would be, D: T cells become less responsive to antigens.

Explanation:

The immune system is vital for keeping us alive, as it is the one that will confront foreign organisms by attacking them when they try to invade our bodies. However, just like the human body ages, and its functions start to ebb with time, so does the systems; and the immune system is no different to this. Although it has been proven that the number of B and T lymphocytic cells does not decrease as a person ages, it has been shown that especially T cells become less responsive towards antigens, and if they do respond, then it is at a much slower pace than when a person is in their young-adult stage of life. This is why seniors can become sick much more often, and much more easily, than other adults, or even children.

Final answer:

Changes in the immune system that accompany aging, also known as immunosenescence, include decreased numbers of T helper and cytotoxic T cells, B cells becoming less responsive, and T cells becoming less responsive to antigens. The correct answer is E) all of the above.

Explanation:

The question pertains to changes within the immune system due to the aging process, a phenomenon known as immunosenescence. As we age, our immune system's efficacy naturally declines, starting around the age of 50. This leads to several changes, including:

Decreased numbers of T helper cells, which are integral for orchestrating the immune response.

A reduction in the number of cytotoxic T cells that respond to infections.

B cells becoming less responsive to pathogens, compromising the humoral immune response.

T cells that become less responsive to antigens, affecting cell-mediated immunity.

Therefore, the correct answer that encapsulates all the changes mentioned in the immune system with aging is E) all of the above.

Answer:

Bronchi: Bronchioles

Explanation:

Bronchus is a part of the human respiratory system. It is the air passage that guide the air into the lungs. The bronchus branches into the right and the left bronchus which further branches into the secondary and tertiary bronchi.

The walls of the bronchi has the hyaline cartilage for support. As the bronchi becomes narrower, the hyaline cartilage in the walls decreases. The narrow branched bronchi that can not be supported by a hyaline cartilage are known as the bronchioles.

Explanation:

a. Nasal cavity: the epithelium in this zone is meant to provide a physical barrier to the invasion of microorganism or particles, it also secretes and remove mucus and foreign particles, these epithelial cells are also involved in the igE producing process (perpetuating allergic responses. The nose is the first barrier to the air that enters our body, that's why the epithelial cells in this zone focus in filtering foreign particles.

b. Bronchiole: epithelium is ciliated and no ciliated, it becomes cuboidal in smaller passages as it continues to branch. The no ciliated cells, also known as club cells are the ones that produce surfactant. Since bronchioles are passages to direct the air to the alveoles epithelial cells in this zone have adapted to go from larger branches to smaller ones to reach the alveoli.

c. Alveolus: it's composed of two types of cells, type one, that constitute the air-blood barrier and type two, cells that produce surfactant to reduce surface tension to keep the alveolus shape when breathing. Since alveoli's function is to allows oxygen/carbon dioxide to move between bloodstream the epithelial cells in this organ evolved to cover this job.

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

ACEi are a group of drugs that inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme. This enzyme is produced in the lung and converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II which is a potent vasoconstrictive peptide that helps to narrow the vessels and also stimulates aldosterone secretion. This mechanism normally helps to raise blood pressure.

Examples of ACEi are captopril, enalapril, lisinopril.  

Answer:

The correct answer is E) fenestrated capillaries

Explanation:

Capillaries with perforated linings are called fenestrated capillaries. These capillaries are found in those tissues where molecules are require to be exchanged continuously  between the tissue and the blood like in kidney, endocrine gland and small intestine.

These capillaries plays important role in secretion and absorption because they are more permeable than continuous capillaries and helps in the movement of large molecules across it. These capillaries have diameter between 70-80 nm.  

Fenestrated capillaries which are present in glomerulus of kidney helps in filtration of  waste product from the blood. In intestine these capillaries helps in absorbing the nutrient in the body.  

Discontinuous capillaries are capillaries with a perforated lining that have gaps between the cells lining the blood vessels. This allows for the passage of larger molecules like proteins and cells.

Discontinuous capillaries are capillaries with a perforated lining, which means they have gaps between the cells that line the blood vessels. These gaps allow for the passage of larger molecules like proteins and cells. Fenestrated capillaries, on the other hand, have small pores or openings in their lining, but no significant gaps. Sinuses are large, open spaces within tissues or organs. Perforated capillaries and vasa vasorum are not recognized terms in the context of blood vessels.

Answer:

The answer to the question: Tachycardia refers to a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute, would be, A: True.

Explanation:

When the body is at rest, usually, the heart should be beating between 60 to 70 beats per minute. Variations in these numbers will depend on the activity the person is doing, and other circumstances that may affect it. However, the heart has its own regulatory system, and its beats should never, under normal circumstances, reach over a 100 bpm. If this happens, if the heart, for no reason (excesive exercise, use of certain medication to produce tachycardia, drugs) starts going up the speed measurement to over 100, it is really dangerous, and the condition is known as tachycardia. This is why the answer is true.

Answer:

Although historically nurses have been taken as the bedside caretakers of patients, and the medicine distributors, the truth is that nurses, given their level of involvement in direct care, have become enabled to do much more than that.

In public policy creation, nurses also play a vital role, and they have a lot to give in the field of politics, precisely because they not only have professional formation, but also extensive research knowledge and also practice. This experience, and the extended education that nurses undergo, allows them to be able to intervene in the arena of politics, especially when it comes to public policy formation, on the field of healthcare.

For example, a nurse is very capable of becoming a great administrator, and even a legislator. So she could find herself in the position of secretary of health, or as a senator, or representative, and she would be able to promote public policy that favors other healthcare professionals in terms of working hours, compensation, working environment, working conditions, because she has experienced all those, but also because she has studied and prepared herself to know about all this.

This, and many other reasons, is why nurses can become very active in legislation formation and public policy formation.

Answer:

The best answer from the choices given here, for the question: A disorder in which of the following is most likely to be present, would be, D: Pancreatic enzyme secretion.

Explanation:

The process of fat digestion, and especially of absorption, is a pretty complex one, because there are many steps that must take place in order for the body to reduce complex lips into their most basic units, and use them. As such, aside from pH in the stomach, and the contact with lingual lipase, which starts the process of unwinding of the lipidic structures, most of the absorption of these nutrients happens in the small intestine and vital to it is the mixing of pancreatic enzymes, especially lipase, to break down the unions enough that the mycelles are formed and the villi can capture these nutrients to pass them on to the lymphatic system. Usually steatorrhea, which is presence of fats in the stool, happens for several different reasons, but in this patient, given the characteristics, it is evident that he is having problems with the secretion of pancreatic lipase, and the fats are not breaking up so that the small intestines cannot absorb them.

Final answer:

A disorder in pancreatic enzyme secretion is most likely to be present in a patient with steatorrhea when bile salt circulation and glucose absorption are normal. Pancreatic lipases are essential for fat digestion; their deficiency can lead to fat excretion in the stool.

Explanation:

The patient is experiencing steatorrhea, which is the presence of excess fat in the stool, indicative of a problem with lipid digestion and absorption. Considering the given test results that show normal enterohepatic circulation of bile salts and normal absorption of glucose, a disorder in pancreatic enzyme secretion is most likely to be present. Pancreatic enzymes, especially lipases, are crucial for breaking down dietary fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed in the intestine. Without sufficient pancreatic enzyme activity, triglycerides are not properly hydrolyzed, leading to their excretion in the stool as fat.

Lipid absorption typically occurs in the small intestine with the assistance of bile salts that emulsify dietary fats, making them accessible to pancreatic lipases. However, since bile salt circulation is normal in this patient, the condition suggests a deficiency in the enzymes required for lipid digestion rather than a problem with bile salts or intestinal surface area for absorption.

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

ADH, also called arginine vasopressin is a hypothalamic hormone (storaged in the posterior pituitary) that regulates body’s osmotic balance.

ADH increases the amount of solute-free water reabsorbed from the one filtrated in the kidneys.

Also, increases peripheral vascular resistance due to the constriction of arterioles, and therefore raises blood pressure.  

Ethanol (alcohol) reduces secretion of ADH by blocking voltage-gated calcium channels. As a result, urine volume increases and this may cause dehydration.

Answer:

In general Asian music, but most particularly Chinese, has called the attention of westerners because of the sensed differences with the music that we are accostumed to listen to in the west. This is why, when we go into a restaurant that is Asian, and we hear the tunes being played, we become aware of how different they sound from what we are accustomed to.

There are several reasons for why this happens, but the most important of all is the difference in the scale system that Chinese music composers use, versus ours. While in the west we use a 7-note scale system, most Asian music, and most particularly Chinese music, use what is known as the pentatonic, or 5-note scale.

Also, Chinese music is usually played with solo instruments, or very small ensembles, not how it is done in the west, and the emphasis tends to be on certain types of wind instruments such as zheng, and also on cymbals and gongs, which give this type of music a very peculiar characteristic.

These are only a few of the reasons why Chinese music may sound so different to what western people are used to.

Answer:

The correct answer is e. Triiodothyronine

Explanation:

The thyroid follicles are located in the thyroides, is composed by follicular cells that secrete thyroid hormones.

The hormone produced by the follicular cells is T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxine). These hormones are later released into the bloodstream. The hormones are produced in response to TSH, the hormone secreted by the hypophysis which signals the thyroid to produce hormones.

Next to the follicles, there are parafollicular cells which are responsible for synthesizing and releasing calcitonina.

The antidiuretic hormone is released by the hypophysis.

Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D. It reaches the active state within the kidney, therefore, is completely separated of the thyroid.

Answer:

The correct option is: A. pulmonary circulation

Explanation:

The heart is muscular organ that is present in the central compartment of the thoracic cavity. It is responsible for pumping blood in the circulatory system through the blood vessels.

The right atrium of the heart pumps the deoxygenated blood received from the body into the right ventricle, which further pumps the received deoxygenated blood into pulmonary artery that carries the deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

The pulmonary veins then carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left heart. This is known as the Pulmonary circulation.

Therefore, the right heart acts as a pump for the pulmonary circulation.

The right side of the heart is involved in pulmonary circulation, meaning it pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Option A. pulmonary circulation is the correct role of the right side of the heart.

The right side of the heart is crucial for pulmonary circulation, which pertains to the process of moving deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. In contrast, the left side of the heart is responsible for systemic circulation, pumping oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. This distinction is essential to understand how blood travels through the heart's chambers and the overall circulatory system.

When considering the options provided in the question, A. pulmonary circulation correctly defines the role of the right side of the heart. The blood pumped from here goes through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The rest of the options, including systemic circulation, coronary circulation, hepatic portal circulation, and the cerebral circuit, are not directly facilitated by the right side of the heart.

Furthermore, the thickness difference in the muscle walls between the heart's right and left sides is due to the required pressure to pump blood through the respective circuits. The left side has a thicker wall as it needs to pump blood throughout the body, whereas the right side, pumping to the closer lungs, has a thinner wall.

Answer:

The answer to the question: What are the cells in the epidermis that are part of the immune system? would be: Langerhan cells, which are the resident immune skin cells, but studies have also shown the presence of other immune cells on the stratum basale and the stratum spinosum, mainly T lymphocytes, especially CD8+.

Explanation:

Given the huge importance of the skin as the most important barrier between the human vunerable body, and the outer environment, especially as the barrier against invading microorganisms that could destroy the body, it is almost expected that this huge organ should count with its own resident system of immunity. And this has been found in several studies. At first, it was believed that the cells responsible for immunity on the skin, were the cells of Langerhans, but now, it is known that although these are the resident immune cells par excellence, there are also T lymphocytes, mainly CD8+ that also patrol between the stratum basale and stratum spinosum of the skin.

Also the low oxygen levels stimulates the respiratory center of the brain to trigger the newborn to take the breath. The first birth initiate within the 10 seconds of the birth after the event when mucus is aspirated out from the child nose and mouth.  

Answer:

The correct answer is a) all of these

Explanation:

Human body developed many mechanisms to regulate the pH of the body fluid. Carbon dioxide in the blood forms carbonic acid which neutralize the extra base and decrease the pH of blood.

Bicarbonate ions in the blood helps in neutralizing the extra acid in the blood and is reabsorbed by kidneys. Excretion of excess H⁺ ions from kidney also helps in regulating the pH of body fluid.

Almost all the proteins acts as buffer because they have charged regions which can bind to H⁺ or OH⁻ ions thus provide buffering capacity to the blood.

Thus, the correct answer is a all of these.

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone, produced by the adrenal cortex, in the adrenal gland.  

Aldosterone is part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system which helps to maintain blood pressure.

When renal blood flow drops, juxtaglomerular cells in the kidney convert prorenin into renin. Renin then converts angiotensinogen (released by the liver) into angiotensin I, that then is converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme in the lung.

Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictive peptide that helps to narrow vessels and also stimulates aldosterone secretion.

At this point, aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion (to maintain electrolyte balance).

The final result is an increase in extracellular fluid volume and therefore in blood pressure.

Answer:

The answer to the question: A treatment for early nephropathy is:____. It may even slow progression, would be: the use of pharmacotherapy with ACE´s (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors) and also with ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers).

Explanation:

Nephropathy is a condition most commonly found in patients with diabetes and it is characterized by a damage of the kidneys and their filtering function, due to constant exposure to high blood pressure, and high osmolarity due to presence of high levels of glucose in the filter. In order to reduce the damage caused by diabetes, and especially high blood pressure, a condition to which the kidneys are very susceptible, treatment today still goes straight to the use of angiotensin inhibitors, and blockers, to reduce the production of this enzyme that generates further increases in blood pressure. These are ACEs and ARBs.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Organ

Explanation:

An organ is made up of two or more tissue to perform one or more specific physiological functions. Organs can be made up of four type of tissue nervous, epithelium, muscular and connective tissue.

Most of the organ contains all four tissue for example small intestine. Internal wall of small intestine is made up of epithelium tissue which is surrounded by smooth muscles and connective tissue containing neurons.

It performs different function like secretion of digestive enzymes and absorption of nutrients from digested food in the body. Muscle tissues have the function in peristalsis movement to pass the digested food further in the colon.

An organ is an anatomically distinct structure of the body composed of two or more tissue types, designed to perform specific physiological functions.

An anatomically distinct structure of the body composed of two or more tissue types with the purpose of performing one or more specific physiological functions is known as an organ. Each tissue is a collection of similar cells that work together to carry out a specific role. Multiple tissues collaborate within an organ to perform complex functions critical to the body's health and maintenance. For instance, the human heart, comprising muscular tissue, nervous tissue, and connective tissue, pumps blood through the body.

To illustrate further, within the human body, various organs form part of organ systems which work together to perform broad physiological functions. The kidneys, which include smooth muscle tissue and various types of connective and epithelial tissues, filter waste from the blood and regulate bodily fluids, serving the larger excretory system.
