Answer:

b.Lymphatic capillaries are dead-end tubes.

d.Lymphatic capillaries are highly permeable.

Explanation:

Lymphatic capillaries transport lymph that flows with little pressure, these capillaries are made of endothelium, are blind-ended (closed at one end) and are more permeable than the blood ones because they serve to drain extracellular fluids.

Blood capillaries, on the other hand, transport blood, that contrary to lymph, flows with more pressure, their walls are also made of endothelium but they are less permeable and conform a circuit, meaning they have no dead ends.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Create a flow chart to represent and describe the process of urine formation in the kidneys. you can use any flow chart format t

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The key steps to urine formation have been outlined in the attached file (flow chart diagram). Key components highlighted.

Explanation:

GLOMERULAR FILTERATION

The kidney consists of NEPHRONS, which consist of a network of capillaries (surrounded by the Bowman’s capsule), called GLOMERULUS. Water and solutes are filtered from the blood in the capillaries into the capsule through a filtration membrane.

The HYPOTHALAMUS in the brain secretes VASOPRESSIN A.K.A ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE (ADH). The ADH passes through the PITUITARY GLAND into the bloodstream and serves to regulate the blood pressure and water levels the kidney absorbs.

REABSORB VITAL NUTRIENTS

While larger cells and proteins are retained in the bloodstream, glomerular filtrate (fluids) flows into the RENAL TUBULE where reabsorption of essential substances that may have escaped the membrane, are taken in through the convoluted tubule.

SECRETION AND EXCRETION

Waste ions are also passed into the renal tubule in a process called Secretion. UREA is also released into the blood stream and to the tubes, after being broken down by the LIVER. All waste mixes with the filtrate to form urine.

Urine is collected in a duct, and passed out of the kidney in the ureter and the excreted from the bladder.

How does low body temperature affect the bloods ability to carry dissolved oxygen

MakcuM [25]

The amount of dissolved oxygen in the blood decreases with a higher temperature. Therefore a low body temperature actually allows a higher concentration of dissolved oxygen. However obviously, if your body temperature goes too low things like enzymes start to not function optimally or work at all.
