Plasma proteins decrease in a person with liver failure. what effect does this have on capillary filtration/absorption?

Biology

slamgirl [31]2 years ago
7 0

The most significant factor contributing to widespread edema brought on by decreased plasma protein production in chronic liver disease is hypoalbuminemia, which manifests in end-stage liver disease. It leads to the increase on capillary filtration/absorption .

The osmotic pressure in blood arteries is maintained in large part by plasma proteins, which are also crucial carriers of several chemicals, including hormones. Blood pressure is the main factor influencing Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is countered by Bowman's capsule fluid pressure and colloid osmotic pressure brought on by plasma proteins.

The plasma has a lower than usual colloid osmotic pressure because there are less plasma proteins present. GFR rises when there is less colloid osmotic pressure working against it.

Suppose a large shield volcano has a massive eruption, empties its magma chamber, and become dormant. Explain what might happen

As described in lecture, cells form actin filaments in particular regions of the cell in part because they nucleate filament for
LenKa [72]
<h2>e) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Cap Z is a capping protein which controls the access to the free barbed ends of actin filaments and is therefore a major factor affecting actin filament elongation
  • Capping proteins have a high affinity for barbed ends and their micromolar concentration in the cytoplasm ensures that most barbed ends are capped
  • Depletion of capping protein promotes increased filament assembly away from the leading edge in migrating cells
  • Cap Z helps favor actin assembly by preventing the loss of actin subunits to the barbed end and also prevent annealing of severed or de-branched filaments and they block both the association and dissociation of subunits at the barbed end

What is a beneficial association between the roots of a plant and a fungus?
Gnom [1K]

Answer: Mycorrhiza

Explanation: Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between a plant and a fungi. Nearly 80 percent of all plants with root systems participate in this mutualistic relationship. In mycorrhiza, the fungus forms a haustoria that penetrates the cell walls of the plant's roots. The fungus absorbs all the nutrients from the roots as they are transported to the plant. In return, the fungus gives the plant necessary chemicals and minerals that it cannot properly reach on its own.
