Aminiotic fluid formation and clearance ? ​

Medicine
1 answer:
stich3 [128]1 year ago
4 0

Introduction :-)

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

Importance :-)

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

<em></em>

Formation :-)

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

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

<em>Contents :-)</em>

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

Hope its helpful :-)

If so, please mark me as brainlist :-)

Brain-imaging techniques can determine all of the following EXCEPT :
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The answer is letter c, The structure of individual neurons.

Explanation:

Brain-imaging technique- <u><em>this comprises of different techniques for analyzing the brain's activities as well as structure, function and other problems.</em></u>

There are many brain-imaging techniques such as <u>Positron Emission Tomography or PET,</u> which traces the part of the brain that is activated during specific tasks as well as the localization of brain activity in response to a specific stimulus. These areas are seen with high radioactivity.

Patterns of blood flow in the brain can be detected by using <u>MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) test.</u> There is an increase in blood flow to areas in the brain with high activity level.

With the explanation given, it shows that letter c is the only choice that the brain-imaging techniques cannot determine.

A Typical Human Body Contains About 3.0 Grams Of Potassium Per Kilogram Of Body Mass. 1. ... 1. How much Potassium-40 is present
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Given

Per Kg of body mass, there is 3 gram of potassium

And abundance of three isotopes are as follows

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Have abundances respectively as 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%.

1) A body weighing 80 Kg will have 240 grams of potassium. And the amount of Potassium-40 will be 0.012% of 240 gram

= 240*0.012/100 = 0.0288 gram.

2) Dose in (Gy) = (energy absorbed)/(mass of the body) = ( 1.1*106*1.6*10-19)/(80) = 22*10-10 J/kg

Dose (in siverts) = RBE*Dose(in Gy) = 1.2*22*10-10 = 26.4*10-10
