Thomas should receive 8.71 ml per day

<h3>Dosage</h3>

A dosage is the amount of a medicine or drug that someone takes or should take, and how ` they should take it.

1 oz = 0.0283495 kg; also 1 lb = 0.453592 kg.

Hence 15 lb 6 oz = (15 lb * 0.453592 kg/lb) + (6 oz * 0.0283495 kg/oz) = 6.97 kg

Since the dosage is 50 mg/kg/day. Hence amount of mg given is:

Amount of mg = 50 mg/kg/day * 6.97 kg = 348.5 mg per day

Each 10 ml contains 400 mg; hence:

ml = 348.5 mg * 10 ml per 400 mg = 8.71 ml per day

Thomas should receive 8.71 ml per day

Why is elevated blood pressure a risk factor in the development of heart disease

zvonat [6]

Answer:

High Blood Pressure. Hypertension increases one’s risk of cardiovascular disease as the blood vessel walls become irritated by the increased pressure exerted by the blood flowing through. As more and more damage is done to the vessel walls, plaque tends to form, in turn increasing the likelihood of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

Which of the following target cells to increase metabolism? (Choose two)

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Hormones that act on the target cells to increase metabolism are Triiodothyronine (T₃) and Thyroxine (T₄).

Explanation:

The hormones triiodothyronine (T₃) and thyroxine (T₄) are the active forms of thyroid hormone, responsible for increasing cell metabolism.

Both T₃ and T₄are produced by the thyroid gland, in response to the pituitary hormone TSH. T₄ is more abundant but less powerful than T₃

Thyroid hormones are responsible for controlling cell metabolism, since their increase determines an increase in metabolism, and their deficiency slows it down.

The other options are not correct because:

Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH) is produced by the hypothalamus to activate the production of TSH in the pituitary gland.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a pituitary hormone in charge of activating the production of T₃ and T₄ in the thyroid.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) is produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate the production of hormones in the adrenal cortex.
