Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

If one is sitting for a prolonged time and experiences pain in the buttocks, it could be an issue associated with tuberosity in the pelvis, that is, ischial tuberosity. It is also considered as the seat bones or the sit bones  

The pain one experiences while sitting for a long time may be due to inflammation or irritation of the ischial bursa, that is, a fluid-occupied sac situated between the ischial tuberosity and the tendons, which associates the hamstring muscles with the bones.  

The given case, in which redness occurs signifies stage 1 at the ischial tuberosity, that is, the first stage of pressure ulcer taking place in the ischial tuberosity. The ischial tuberosity is situated in the base of buttocks.

Mila [183]
<h3>Steps in order fro the formation process of urine</h3>

3) Blood enters the kidneys through  the renal artery and branches to  reach the glomerulus.

1) Nephron tubules secrete waste products into collecting tubules.

4) The filtrate travels through the renal  tubule and useful substances are  reabsorbed into the blood.

2) Pressure of the blood forces water and dissolved substances through   capillaries and into the Bowman's capsule.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Glomerulus filters water and other substances from the bloodstream. According to the requirement of the body, reabsorption moves nutrients and water back into the bloodstream. Urine actually is made up of 95% of water and the other nutrients are waste ions and hydrogen ions.
