  • Risk of blood clots and consequences like heart attack and stroke can increase if you have too many blood vessels because they make blood thick and sluggish.

<h3>What is erlotinib used for?</h3>
  • Erlotinib is prescribed to individuals with specific aberrant epidermal growth factor (EGFR) gene mutations for the treatment of metastatic (cancer that has already spread) non-small cell lung cancer.
  • So as per the context, seeing the patient being given the erlotinib we can predict that the patient could be suffering from cancer.
  • Healthy human beings have apoptosis which means programmed cell death.
  • But in the patients suffering from cancer, this process of apoptosis is disturbed and the formation of blood vessels will be in high number or uncontrolled.

<h3>When cancer has spread to blood vessels, what does that mean?</h3>
  • Cancer that has spread to other parts of the body from the main site, or where it first appeared, is referred to as metastatic cancer. When cancer cells separate from a tumor, they can move through the circulation or lymphatic system to other areas of the body.

Which of the following statements correctly compares water-soluble and lipid-soluble hormones?
frozen [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E. only water-soluble hormones use second messengers.

Explanation:

Water soluble hormones can not diffuse through cell membranes as only lipid soluble molecules can pass through the cell membranes and these hormons are not lipid soluble molecules,

These water hormones are usually glycoproteins, peptide and catecholamnies such as TSH, FSH, LH and insulin. these hormones need second messengers because there receptors are present on the plasma membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option - e.  only water-soluble hormones use second messengers.

after administering a loop diuretic, a nurse monitors the client for increased urine output. what principle explains the seconda
Levart [38]

The correct answer for this question is Osmosis.

Osmotic diuresis is an increase in urine production brought on by the presence of specific chemicals in the tiny kidney tubes. When chemicals like glucose enter the kidney tubules and cannot be reabsorbed, excretion takes place (due to a pathological state or the normal nature of the substance). The compounds raise the osmotic pressure inside the tubule, which causes water to be retained in the lumen and inhibits water absorption, boosting urine production (i.e., diuresis). Therapeutics like mannitol, which is used to improve urine output and decrease extracellular fluid volume, have the similar effect.

By making the blood more osmolar, substances in the circulation can also increase the volume of fluid flowing through the body.
