FrozenT [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules. Having the atomic number 6, every carbon atom has a total of six electrons.

Two major problems occur in water intoxication; one problem is that the overhydration leads to a non-homeostatic decrease in the
melamori03 [73]

Options are not provided inthe question. Hence, the complete question is

Two major problems occur in water intoxication; one problem is that the overhydration leads to a non-homeostatic decrease in the concentration of __________; this leads to a significant decrease in blood osmotic pressure. The second problem is that the excessive increase in water volume, due to too much water intake, increases its extracellular (intravascular and interstitial) concentration out of normal homeostatic range. This high extracellular concentration of water causes water to move down its concentration gradient into cells; cells begin to __________ to a non-physiologic size.

A. antibodies; shrink

B. hormones; swell

C. blood solutes; swell

D. blood solutes; shrink

Answer:

C. blood solutes; swell

Explanation:

Water intoxication or  hyperhydration or water poisoning is a fatal brain functional disorder caused due to excessive water consumption forces the normal electrolyte balance in the body outside safe limits.

There are two major impact sofwater intoxication on health that includes:

  1. Due to overhydration, blood solutes concentration decreases due to imbalance in blood level and results in decrease in blood osmotic pressure.
  2. Due to intake of excessive water, extracellular concentration increases  which is out of normal homeostatic range. This excessive water and high etracellular concentration allows water to move down its concentration gradient into cells and resluts into swelling of cell.

Hence, the correct option is C.

What is the function of the mini-valves in lymph capillaries?
Naya [18.7K]

 They increase the permeability of the lymph capillaries. Interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic vessels through the mini valves (which are overlaps of endothelial cells from multiple lymph capillaries). The valves also prevent the backflow of the lymph from the vessels back to the tissues.

The filtrate formed by the nephrons in the kidney is NOT urine. The filtrate is first refined and concentrated by the processes
dexar [7]

The filtrate is first refined and concentrated by the processes of <u>reabsorption and secretion</u>, which form the urine that leaves the body.

<h3>Process of filtration in kidney:</h3>

The glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule restores necessary substances to your blood while removing waste. The glomerulus is nestled within a region of the kidney called the Bowman's Capsule. This is where filtration occurs. The high pressure causes some substances to pass through the capillary walls when blood is forced through the tiny capillaries. The walls serve as a filter or sieve. This is how the function of the nephron. A glomerulus filters your blood, while a tubule restores necessary substances to your circulation while removing extra waste. Each nephron has both of these functions.
