Answer:
D. Fibrocartilage
Explanation:
In order to understand the question, we need to review the structure of intervertebral discs.
Intervertebral discs consist of two parts:
It forms the central part of the intervertebral disc and consists of mucoid substance.
It is composed of encircling layers of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue surrounding the nucleus pulposus
<u>SLIPPED DISC:</u>
It is characterized by the protrusion of nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus accompanied by the compression of spinal nerves.
Patient may present with loss of sensory sensations or pain or both.
<u>CORRECT ANSWER:</u>
From the above review, the correct answer is <u>D. fibrocartilage</u> as it forms the annulus fibrosus.
First-pass effect.
The first-pass effect involves drugs that are given PO and absorbed from the small intestine directly into the portal venous system, which delivers the drug molecules to the liver. Once in the liver, enzymes break the drug into metabolites; they may become active or may be deactivated and readily excreted from the body. A large percentage of the oral dose is usually destroyed and never reaches tissues. Oral dosages account for this phenomenon to ensure an appropriate amount of the drug in the body to produce a therapeutic action. Passive diffusion is the major process through which drugs are absorbed into the body. Active transport is a process that uses energy to actively move a molecule across a cell membrane and is often involved in drug excretion in the kidney. Glomerular filtration is the passage of water and water-soluble components from the plasma into the renal tubule.
The genetic drift is a major factor in evolution when there is lower gene flow
Answer:
7) a. Absorbed: black surfaces absorb light, like in a playground.
b. Transmitted: when light falls on transparent objects, it is transmitted, goes straight through the object, like the clear glass of a window
c. Reflected: when light falls on a smooth, shiny object, it bounces off in one particular direction, like looking at the smooth surface of a lake
