Answer:

Cartilage thinning.

Explanation:

Cartilage is a type of flexible connective tissue present in the larynx and ears. The cartilage has high elasticity and more tensile strength. The ends of the long bone and the joints are protected by cartilage.

The articular cartilage gets brittle with the old age and can be explained by the wear and tear of tissue. The non weight bearing for the months may result in decrease in the functioning of the cartilage. This might puts pressure on cartilage if sudden weight is applied this might result in thinning of the cartilage. Mechanical load result in the wear and tear of the tissue.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

A urine concentration test was performed on a patient after a fluid intake deprivation period with the following findings:
Ira Lisetskai [31]

A urine concentration test measures the ability of the kidneys to conserve or excrete water.

A urine specific gravity test compares the density of urine to the density of water. This quick test can help determine how well your kidneys are diluting your urine. Urine that's too concentrated could mean that your kidneys aren't functioning properly or that you aren't drinking enough water.

Urine is concentrated in the final stages of its production: water is absorbed, in excess of solute, from the collecting ducts and into the vasculature of the medulla, thus increasing the osmolality of the collecting duct fluid and thus the osmolality of the urine that emerges from the collecting ducts.
