Nephrons are the filtering structures of the kidneys. The
kidneys contain millions and millions of these tiny filtering structures that
are responsible for cleaning the blood. Nephrons are responsible for removing
excess water, wastes, and other substances in the blood that are not needed by
the body. They also return necessary substances (e.g. sodium, potassium,
phosphorus) whenever the body runs low in supply.
If these nephrons are damaged, blood will not be properly
filtered. As a result, the kidney will have different diseases and this might
lead to kidney and multiple organ failure.

PROTANOPE. These are the individuals that suffers form color blindness. This color blindness is due to the absence fo the L- cones which are cones that are sensitive to long wavelength. Cones are one of the three types of photoreceptos found in the retina. These are responsilble for color vision and function best in a brightl light. In contrast to the rods which works on dim light. Cones are found in the fovea.
Answer and Explanation:
In homeostatic control processes any deviation from the norm sets into motion the appropriate corrective mechanisms which restore the norm. This rectification occurs through negative feedback. When you go outside wearing a sweater on a hot day, the body sends messages to the CNS and the following occurs:
- The superficial blood vessels vasodilate so that more blood flows near the surface. This encourages heat loss.
- Sweating and panting. Sweat secreted by the sweat glands evaporate from the surface of the body as it absorbs latent heat.
- The metabolic rate falls so that the body generates less heat. You also become less active
- Behavioural response by seeking cooler areas, cold drinks or removal of the sweater.
Ans.
The first pass effect is defined as a phenomenon of metabolism of drug, in which drug concentration is greatly decreased before reaching the systemic circulation. It represents that fraction of drug lost, at the time of absorption of drug in gut.
Thus, the client is not receiving all the dosage of ingested drug (aspirin) because of the 'first pass effect.'
Complete question:
Prophase of meiosis I has some important differences from prophase of mitosis. These differences include: ___________BLANK pair, and _________BLANK occurs.
A: chromatids; condensation
B.,chromosomes; separation
C. homologous chromosomes; crossing over
D. homologous chromatids; separation
Answer:
C. homologous chromosomes; crossing over
Explanation:
Prophase I of meiosis and prophase of mitosis are quite distinct with respect to the events occurring in the cells. Prophase-I of meiosis is a relatively long stage. The Zygotene stage of prophase-I includes the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This pairing is mediated by synaptonemal complex and the process is called synapsis. The paired chromosomes undergo the process of crossing over during the pachytene stage of prophase-I. In crossing over, the non-sister chromatids of the bivalents exchange some genetic material between them. The events of synapsis and crossing over do not occur during prophase of mitosis.
