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.

Interphase: Add mushrooms to represent organelles and a ring of pepperoni to make a nuclear membrane. Strips of peppers would represent the DNA inside the nucleus. To model the end of interphase, double the number of mushrooms on the pizza to indicate the copying of the organelles. Double the number of peppers inside the nucleus to represent the replication of DNA.

Prophase: Pair strips of pepper inside the nucleus to show the formation of chromosome pairs. Strips of aluminum foil would represent spindle fibers.

Metaphase: Line up the pair of peppers along the middle of the pizza. Removing the pepperoni would show the breakdown of the nuclear membrane.

Anaphase: Split up the pairs of peppers, and show the spindle fibers, made of aluminum foil, pulling them to either side of the cell.

Telophase: Make two new nuclear membranes around the pepper strips using pepperoni. Separate the pairs of peppers to show the chromosomes unwinding.

Cytokinesis: Cut the pizza across the middle to show the cell dividing into two daughter cells.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

1. an electrical nerve impulse sent by nerve fibers to the central nervous system for interpretation. Action potential.

2. neurons that detect chemicals such as those found in food. Chemoreceptors.

3. type of eyes many arthropods have; eyes that protrude outward and consist of many lenses. Compound eyes.

4. the structure that gives the response to an environmental change. Effector

5. neurons that detect electrical fields. Electroreceptors.

6. secretion of hormones into the blood stream to affect distant processes. Endocrine.

Explanation:

An action potential is a change in the internal charge of a cell due to depolarization. These changes allow the transmission of a message from any part of the body to the central nervous system. The central nervous system will interpret the message and will give a response.

There are different types of receptors in our bodies. Chemoreceptors are the ones that detect chemicals and produce an action potential or a neurotransmitter. These receptors respond to chemicals. Another type of receptor is the electroreceptors. They detect electrical fields and are only on the skin of aquatic animals.

Compound eyes have a large number of ommatidia. As a result, the anthropods with this type of eyes have a large view angle. In other words, every ommatidium sees an image, and the final product is a combination of all of them.

The effector is the structure that gives an answer once an affector has sent the message to the nervous system that there was a change in the environment.

There are different kinds of secretions, autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine. In the endocrine secretion, the gland secrets hormones into the bloodstream so that they can travel long distances up to their target cell, which is far from the gland.

The brain volumes (cm cubed) of 20 brains have a mean of 1116.2 cm cubed and a standard deviation of 127.7 cm cubed. Use the g

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Range rule of thumb predicts the Range to be a multiple of 4 of the standard deviation or to be four times the standard deviation. Making the usual values equal to 2 standard deviations distanct of the mean of the data distribution.

In a given distribution with mean and standard deviation that is obtained, the usual values in mean (as seen in the attached image).

2*standard deviation and mean + 2*standard deviation.

If the data point is not up to the mean

- 2* standard deviation is taken to be significantly low.

If the data point is more than the mean

+ 2*standard deviation is taken to be significantly high.

Let's take the xbar to be the mean and s as standard deviaiton

Given,

mean, xbar = 1116.2

standard deviation, s =127.7

The range rule of thumb shows that the usual values are within 2 standard deviations from the mean

Lower boundary

= xbar - 2s

= 1116.2 - 2(127.7)

= 860.8

Upper boundary

= xbar + 2s

= 1116.2 + 2(127.7)

= 1371.6

We should note that 1411.6 is not between 860.8 and 1371.6, which connotes that 1411.6cm^3 is unusually high.
