<span>If a woman at 24 weeks gestation period has had a rupture of membranes (breaking of the amniotic sac) along with maternal fever, it is likely that she might have premature labor.
There is a high chance for infection since the open membranes harbor bacteria which can enter the womb. Also, the loss of water (amniotic fluid) can affect the growth of the lungs and the body formation of the fetus.
The first step after reaching the hospital will be to check if there is a PROM (premature rupture of membranes) and if the amniotic fluid is leaking from the vagina. For this, many tests can be performed like the Sterile speculum exam, Nitrazine test, Pooling test etc. An Ultrasound is also performed, along with other Immune-chromatological tests.
If the PROM is positive, it is likely that the baby, weighing almost 750 gms, will be delivered within the next 24 hours.

i think that -5 will be the answer
Answer:
1. releases bile to break down fat
pancreas
2. helps break down protein
liver
3. remove carbon dioxide from the body
lungs
4. breaks down starch into sugar
saliva
5. absorbs nutrients into the blood
small intestine
6. absorbs extra water from undigested food
large intestine
Explanation:
The main functions of saliva is digestive function: moisturizes and softens the morsel; the saliva contains the enzyme ptialin that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin.
The large intestine is the largest internal organ; its role is the absorption of food, nutrients and water.
Hepatic Cells - Hepatocytes have many metabolic functions that enable them to have a rich blood supply.All hepatocytes participate in metabolism. processing of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, bile color - bilirubin, bile acids, vitamins, minerals and some hormones. Food proteins broken down to their constituents - amino acids, are used by the liver as a building material for the synthesis of its own proteins and plasma proteins, which have different vital functions in the body.
In the small intestine, digested food is converted to liquid and goes to blood.
Pancreas secretes the enzymes amylase and lipase (which are mainly used to dissolve fats) and participates in the chemical breakdown of food to absorb molecules into the blood.
