A 43-year-old Caucasian man with a 20-year history of bipolar disorder presents for the first time with long-term polyuria and p

olydipsia. He previously took lithium for mood stabilization for 15 years before initiating divalproex sodium therapy. He stopped using lithium because of the polyuria, but he felt that the polyuria never fully subsided. His weight is stable, and he has no other urinary complaints. His blood pressure is 115/80 mmHg and his physical exam is normal. His urinalysis shows no blood, cells, protein, glucose, nitrate, casts, or crystals.
What is the most likely cause of his polyuria?
1 Central diabetes insipidus
2 Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
3 Polyuria secondary to hyperglycemia
4 Polyuria following acute kidney injury
5 Polyuria secondary to polydipsia

Answer:

The correct option is 2 Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Explanation:

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) occurs when the renal tubule response to vasopressin (ADH) is weakened, resulting in the excretion of large volumes of dilute urine.

As the renal tubules do not respond to vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) and are unable to reabsorb filtered water back into the body, the kidneys create a high volume of dilute urine in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) can be inherited or develop as a result of disorders that impede the ability of the kidneys to concentrate.

Therefore, the correct option is 2 Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

That is, the most likely cause of his polyuria is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

If the food is limited to the squirrels then that could impact how well they reproduce which could impact their numbers which therefore could impact the food source for the foxes which eat them. Fewer squirrels means the foxes will slow down on their reproductive numbers as well...they are all linked!

Which of the following kinds of cells preform basic functions such as obtaining energy from food?
strojnjashka [21]

Plant cells, but not animal cells

Animal cells, but not plant cells

Both plant cells and animal cells

Neither animal cells nor plant cells

Answer:

Both plant cells and animal cells

Explanation:

The process where the energy locked up in food is extracted take place in both plants and animal cells.This process is called Cellular respiration.It is the process of combining inhaled and diffused oxygen in the blood with assimilated food substances (glucose,amino acids,fatty acids and glycerol) to produce energy.

In both cells it takes place in the the cytoplasm and mitochondrial.

It begins with Glycolysis, followed by Krebs's Cycle..These two steps gives certain of ATPs to these cells

.However,the largest amount of ATPs is synthesized during oxidative phosphorylation  for maximum of energy to be produced.This process involved the chemiosmosis where protons were diffused into the intramembranes by the proton pump (PMF) and diffused back into the matrix of the mitochondria to generate the electrochemical gradients.

The electrochemical gradients generate the energy for enzymes ATPase synthase needed for phosphorylation of ADP with Pi to give ATPs.

The oxygen act act the final electron acceptor.
