Anti-infectives are used to treat urinary tract infections which include which anatomical structures? (select all that apply.)

1 answer:

4 0

These anatomical structures are the following:
1. The urine itself which serves as an antiseptic, washing potentially harmful bacteria out from the body during normal urination
2. The ureters join into the bladder in a manner designed to prevent urine from backing up into the kidney when the bladder squeezes urine out through the urethra.
3. The prostate gland in men that secretes infection-fighting substance.
4. The immune system defenses and antibacterial substance in the mucous lining of the bladder eliminate many organisms.
5. The vagina of a healthy women, it is colonized by lactobacilli, a beneficial microorganisms that maintain a highly acidic environment (low pH) that is hostile to other bacteria. It also produces hydrogen peroxide, which help eliminate bacteria and reduces the ability of Escherichia coli (E. coli) to adhere to vaginal cells that is the major bacterial culprit in urinary tract infection.

One method used by newborn mammals to generate heat is referred to as nonshivering thermogenesis. This method utilizes a protein

stich3 [128]

Answer:

One method used by newborn mammals to generate heat is referred to as nonshivering thermogenesis. This method utilizes a protein channel called thermogenin which is present in high levels inside the mitochondria of brown adipose tissue.

Explanation:

Thermogenin forms a proton channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane in the brown adipose tissues. Most of the newborn mammals have these brown adipose tissues. In these tissues, the oxidation of nutrients do not produce ATP but generate heat. The heat is used by the newborn to maintain the warmer body temperature. The process is called nonshivering thermogenesis.

Explain how water's cohesive and adhesive properties are a result of its bonding among the atoms

vladimir1956 [14]

Water is a unique molecule which contains inter-molecular forces like vandar wall's forces and hydrogen bonding that results in extremely strong bonding forces among water molecules.

Cohesion and adhesion are the properties of water which refer to the fact that water molecules are not only very strongly attracted to water molecules but also to other polar molecules of any type.

This is the cohesive nature of the water which makes water a water drop and it is the adhesive nature of water due to which water takes the shape and available space in a glass or jar of water .

How these properties are a result of bonding between atoms?

Cohesive properties:

We are well aware of the fact that water is composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of Hydrogen.
The two hydrogen atoms align themselves in such a way that oxygen is in middle of them. Due to great electronegativity difference Oxygen gets a partial negative charge while Hydrogen atoms get partial positive charges.
Now one oxygen atom of one one water molecule attracts the partial positive charged hydrogen atom of another water molecule, and this attraction causes the bonding. This type of inter-molecular forces of atom gives water cohesive properties.

Adhesive properties:

If we talk about adhesive properties through which water is attracted to other materials of polar nature, these adhesive properties are also due to same nature of bonding.
Any polar compounds can easily get bonded with water due to polar nature of water molecules. You can see the attached figure for better understanding of bonding properties of water.

The system that controls and coordinates the body through hormones is the ________.

butalik [34]

The system that controls and coordinates the body through hormones is the endocrine system.

Endocrine system produces hormones and then these hormones transmit the messages to various cells within the body. Hormones have great importance in our body system and even our body is functioning due to hormones. If hormones are disturbed it can lead to many diseases.

Why do you think people like Ben Saunders explore extreme environments? Do you think you’d like to explore an extreme environmen

adell [148]

One major reason for exploring extreme environments is to find new resources. An example of a resource is the search for a new antibiotic. Extreme environments have rare species endemic to the regions which can offer different insights from the normative environment we are used to.

No, I would not. This is because the risk of death is higher in an extreme environment. Example of these risks are deadly diseases or harsh climate. The body may be unable to adjust to the extreme environment hence may be unable to restore homoeostasis; such as in restoring body heat in extremely cold environments hence leading to hypothermia.
