Answer:

c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures

Explanation:

Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.

Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-neural tube, hindbrain, metencephalon,

Explanation:

The development of the brain during the embryogenesis takes place by the formation of a neural tube or the predecessor of the central nervous system. The neural tube arises from the ectoderm layer of the gastrula where the anterior portion of the neural tube forms the brain.

The neural tube development results in the formation of three sacs filled vesicles in which the fist vesicle forms the forebrain, second forms the midbrain and the third vesicle forms the hindbrain.

Later development process divides the hindbrain into two new portions called metencephalon and myelencephalon where the metencephalon forms the cerebellum portion of the brain.

Thus, the selected order is the correct order.
