Aminiotic fluid formation and clearance ?

stich3 [128]

Introduction :-)

The amniotic fluid is the protective liquid contained by the amniotic sac of a gravid amniote. This fluid serves as a cushion for the growing fetus, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between mother and fetus.

Importance :-)

It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.
It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.
It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.
It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.

Formation :-)

Amniotic fluid is present from the formation of the gestational sac. Amniotic fluid is in the amniotic sac. It is generated from maternal plasma, and passes through the fetal membranes by osmotic and hydrostatic forces. When fetal kidneys begin to function around week 16, fetal urine also contributes to the fluid. In earlier times, it was believed that the amniotic fluid was composed entirely of fetal urine.

The fluid is absorbed through the fetal tissue and skin. After 22 to 25 week of pregnancy, fraternization of an embryo's skin occurs. When this process completes around the 25th week, the fluid is primarily absorbed by the fetal gut for the remainder of gestation.

Contents :-)

At first, amniotic fluid is mainly water with electrolytes, but by about the 12-14th week the liquid also contains proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea, all of which aid in the growth of the fetus.

Hope its helpful :-)

If so, please mark me as brainlist :-)

Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues. Having anemia can make you feel tired and weak. There are many forms of anemia, each with its own cause. Anemia can be temporary or long term, and it can range from mild to severe

How much Dextrose 70% must be mixed with Dextrose 5% to prepare 1,000mL of Dextrose 20%? *

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

231 ml

Explanation:

Let x represent the amo unt of Dextrose 70% in ml and y represent the amount of Dextrose 5% in ml needed to prepare 1,000mL of Dextrose 20%.

Since 1000 ml of Dextrose 20% is needed, hence:

x + y = 1000 (1)

Also 70% Dextrose is mixed with 5% dextrose to produce 20% dextrose. i.e.:

70% of x + 5% of y = 20% of 1000

0.7x + 0.05y = 200 (2)

We have to solve equations 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Let us multiply equation 2 by 20:

14x + y = 4000 (3)

subtract equation 1 from 3:

13x = 3000

x = 231 ml

Put x = 231 in equation 1 to find y:

231 + y = 1000

y = 769 ml

Therefore 231 ml of Dextrose 70% must be mixed with 769 ml of Dextrose 5% to prepare 1,000mL of Dextrose 20%? *

Other than tablet hardness, which method is used to measure the tablet strength?

Anni [7]

There are 2 main processes to test tablet hardness: compression testing and 3 point bend testing. For compression testing, the analyst generally aligns the tablet in a repeatable way, and the tablet is squeezed between a fixed and a moving jaw. The first machines continually applied force with a spring and screw thread until the tablet started to break. When the tablet fractured, the hardness was read with a sliding scale.
