The flow rate be 20.6 mL/hr in mentioned case.

<h3>Why dopamine is used ?</h3>

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter as well as hormone and plays a vital role in various body functions.

Important information to know:

Patient’s weight: 55 kg

Dose: 10 mcg/kg/min

Available: 800 mg/ 500 mL

What we’re solving for? mL/hr

[6:10 pm, 24/08/2022] Anushka Singh: 55 kg  x 10 mcg/min    x    1 mg     x       500 mL  = 275,000 = 0.34375 mL/min

800,000

Not done yet, we need to convert from minutes to hours because we need to find mL/hr:

60 minutes  x    0.34375 mL = 20.625 = 20.6 mL/hr

1 hour                  1 minute

Therefore, answer is 20.6 mL/hr

djyliett [7]

Complete Question: Fill in the blanks with the terms provided. Not all terms will be used: inferior vena cava, superior vena cava, destruction, production, digestive organs, spleen, liver respiratory organ, nutrients, thymus and harmful agents.

Answer:

Blood is transported from the veins of the DIGESTIVE ORGAN into a hepatic portal system that drains the blood into the LIVER before this blood drains to the INFERIOR VENA CAVA . The hepatic portal system is needed because the veins of the GI tract absorb digested NUTRIENTS , and these must be processed by the liver. The liver also detoxifies any HARMFUL AGENTS absorbed by the gastrointestinal blood vessels. The hepatic portal system also receives products of erythrocyte DESTRUCTION from the SPLEEN , so that the liver can recycle some of these components.

Explanation: The hepatic portal system functions to deliver deoxygenated blood to the liver from gastrointestinal tract,gall bladder, pancreas and spleen to be detoxified before returning to the right side of the heart through the inferior vena cava.
