Answer: Option B. "False"

Explanation:

Nephron can be defined as the functional unit of the kidney.

Descending limb and ascending limb are the combinly called loop of nephron or henle and are the part of renal tubule in the nephron.

Descending limbs and  ascending limbs have different permeabilities to water and salt that causes high osmolarity in the Medulla.

The thin descending limb is having high permeability to water as they have low permeability to ions and urea while the thick ascending limb has impermeablity to water as there is active reabsorption of ions.

Hence, the correct option is B.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The correct answer is Thoracic Cavity

Explanation:

In the human body, the thoracic cavity is located above the abdomen and below the neck. This cavity includes vital organs such as the lungs and the heart. Moreover, this cavity is surrounded by bones such as the ribs. Besides this, while driving the thoracic cavity is expected to be in front of the steering wheel because the steering wheel is always in front of the chest of the driver. Due to this, if William's body slammed into the steering wheel during the accident is likely this cavity was the one most affected due to its position.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:The final step in both pathways would be the activation of factor X, leading to conversion of prothrombin II to thrombin IIa. Option C.

Explanation: blood coagulation is the processes that leads to blood clot formation. The blood clot formed is made up of fibrin and platelets, which forms hemostatic plug over a wound site. The blood coagulation is made up of two partways that led to the formation of clot. The intrinsic pathway also called contact activation pathway and the extrinsic pathway which is also known as the tissue factor pathway. The both pathways are connected by a common pathway whereby factor X is activated leading to leading to conversion of prothrombin II to thrombin IIa. Thrombin then converts fibrinogen to fibrin( blood clot). I hope this helps. Thanks.
