Answer:

Potassium

Explanation:

Resting membrane potential may be defines as the voltage or charge difference between inside and outside of the cell when the cell is at rest. The resting membrane potential of the cell is -70mV.

Potassium ion channels are leaky channels that are always open and can move into and out of the cell. The potassium ions are responsible for setting of the resting membrane potential of the cell. Inward movement of sodium ions may disrupt the resting membrane potential of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

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.

Hemophilia is a condition in which blood does not clot naturally, and a person with hemophilia could bleed to death if injured.
barxatty [35]

As we know our blood has four main components which are plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. That is why a hemophiliac must receive regular injections of platelets to stay alive. This is done by injecting into their bloodstream human plasma which contains many proteins, glucose, clotting factors, electrolytes, hormones, and carbon dioxide.
