Answer:

The drug doses mentioned in the patient chart are in normal dosage limits. However, Tylenol shall be discontinued.

Explanation:

Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic drug and its mechanism of action is only limited to central nervous system. Acetaminophen does not produce antiplatelet effects and does not interfere with COX 1 and COX 2 inhibition by NSAIDs i.e. Ibuprofen. Hence it is safe to use Ibuprofen with Acetaminophen or hydrocodone/ acetaminophen. However, both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Hydrocodone/ acetaminophen cannot be used in combination because the daily acetaminophen dose becomes too high. High dose of acetaminophen may cause serious side effects such as congestion, swelling, sweating, unusual bleeding, and stomach pain. Acetaminophen lowers body temperature and increases the threshold for pain but does not affect inflammation. Hence, NSAIDs are given in combination to reduce inflammation but high doses may lead to bleeding, stroke and other cardiovascular symptoms. It is safe to take albuterol with NSAIDs and acetaminophen, as it reduces congestion and improves breathing.

Glomerulus

The high fluid pressure inside the arteries causes the glomerulosa (capillary bed) in the glomerular capsule to produce filtrate.)

<h3>What is Glomerulus ?</h3>

Blood enters the glomerulus, a collection of small blood veins, as it enters each nephron. Smaller molecules, wastes, and fluid—mostly water—can pass through the glomerulus' thin walls and into the tubule.

  • Proteins and blood cells, which are larger molecules, remain in the blood vessel.
  • The glomerulus' primary job is to filter plasma to create glomerular filtrate, which travels the full length of the nephron tubule before converting to urine. Water, glucose, salts, and urea are all components of the glomerular filtrate.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer: Option A. "Cytoskeleton"

Explanation:

Cytoskeleton can be defined as the network of protein filaments in the cytoplasm eukaryotic cells interlinking from cell nucleus to cell membrane.

There are three basic types of protein fibers present in cytoskeleton that includes micro filaments (Actin filaments ), microtubules and intermediate filaments.

Microfilaments are consist many linked monomers of a protein known as actin, that combines in a double helix with a diameter of about 7 nano-meter and functions as serving tracks for myosin (motor protein).

Microtubules are arranged in a form of hollow straw like structure made up of consist of tubulin proteins having diameter of about 25 nano-meter and further consist of two subunits, α-tubulin and β-tubulin.

Intermediate filaments are the cytoskeletal element which are made up of multiple strands of fibrous proteins wounded together having an average diameter of 8 to 10 nano-meter.
