The choices are:

A. Poor ability to concentrate urine.

B.  Little skin pigment to prevent sunburn.

C.  Poorly functioning temperature control center.

D.  Abnormally high salt loss through perspiration.

Answer:

The answer is: D, Abnormally high salt loss through perspiration

Explanation:

"Cystic fibrosis"<em> is</em> <em>a disease that is regarded hereditary in nature, meaning, it can be passed from parent to the offspring.</em> People with this condition develop problems in their<u> lungs </u>and<u> digestive system</u>. <u>They are also prone to losing more salt than what an average person loses when it comes to sweat.</u> In this case, <u>they are more prone to dehydration.</u>

So, in the situation above, the parents will demonstrate knowledge of the effects of hot weather on their child when they state that hot weather is hazardous because the child has "abnormally high salt loss through perspiration." Thus, it is very important for them to be hydrated by drinking plenty of water and even sports drink (this has lots of electrolytes).

steoporosis and related low bone mass affect many adults in North America, especially older women. One-third of all women experi
tatuchka [14]

Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.

Explanation:

In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.

Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.

Common features of osteoporosis are:

--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.

--> bone pain

--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.

It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.

Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.

lubasha [3.4K]

During pregnancy, the form of estrogen that predominates is produced by the placenta, and may be useful in prenatal screening is Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG).

Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) hormone is only produced during pregnancy. It is produced predominantly in the placenta. Levels of the hormone hCG, found in the mother's blood and urine, rise greatly during the first month of pregnancy.

hCG can detect the pregnancy  ten days after conception. It is the earliest method to check the pregnancy.  It also helps to detect the correct age of the fetus and the problems related to the pregnancy like ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages etc.
