These anatomical structures are the following:
1. The urine itself which serves as an antiseptic, washing potentially harmful bacteria out from the body during normal urination
2. The ureters join into the bladder in a manner designed to prevent urine from backing up into the kidney when the bladder squeezes urine out through the urethra.
3. The prostate gland in men that secretes infection-fighting substance.
4. The immune system defenses and antibacterial substance in the mucous lining of the bladder eliminate many organisms.
5. The vagina of a healthy women, it is colonized by lactobacilli, a beneficial microorganisms that maintain a highly acidic environment (low pH) that is hostile to other bacteria. It also produces hydrogen peroxide, which help eliminate bacteria and reduces the ability of Escherichia coli (E. coli) to adhere to vaginal cells that is the major bacterial culprit in urinary tract infection.
<u>Answer:</u>
Q: Which skeletal system <u>disorder</u> might she be suffering from?
A: <u>Osteoporosis</u>
Q: What <u>techniques</u> could be used to diagnose her condition?
A: <u>Bone mineral density (BMD) test</u> or <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan</u>
Q: What treatments are available?
A: Medication, healthy food.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age</u>. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to <u>osteoporosis</u>.
A <u>bone mineral density test</u>, also known as <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry</u> scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses <u>X-rays</u> to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.
A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with <u>medicine</u> right away so that it <u>stops</u> further <u>deterioration of the bones</u> and <u>avoid any future bone fractures</u>. Further, it can be handled by <u>eating a healthy diet</u> and <u>supplements</u> such as <u>vitamins D</u>. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are <u>already fractured</u>, <u>surgical approaches</u> might be necessary.
Answer: B
Why? It is not A or D for many reasons but cell differentiation is used for very specific functions as cell determination is used for different embryonic functions. Based on the diagram I seems to me that it is not very specific so that’s why I think it’s B
(If it’s not be then is 100% C but B makes more sense)
Hope this helps
