Answer: d. none of the above
Explanation:
The respiratory membrane is the membrane which separates the air inside the alveoli from the pulmonary capillaries. The types of respiratory membranes includes the alveoli membrane, the capillary membrane and the basement membrane. The respiratory membrane is usually very thin. But it becomes thick due to the increase in the fluid content, which actually forces the gases to diffuse through the membrane and the fluid. Also the pulmonary diseases can also cause the membrane to become thick.
Duodenal ulcer is the diagnosis for a patient who experiences chronic intermittent pain in the epigastric area when the stomach is empty and in the middle of the night.
A duodenal ulcer is a peptic ulcer that develops in the first part of the small intestine. It occurs in the lower part of the esophagus. Few symptoms of duodenal ulcer are a dull or burning pain in the belly. The main cause of this ulcer is bacterial infection. The bacteria causes the lining of the stomach to become inflamed and an ulcer can form. Few medications such as ibuprofen may also cause ulcer.
The wound generally heals on its own but if the ulcer is deep it can cause serious pain or bleeding.

Introduction :-)
The <em>amniotic fluid</em> is the protective liquid contained by the <em>amniotic sac</em> of a <em>gravid amniote</em>. This <em>fluid</em> serves as a cushion for the growing <em>fetus</em>, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between <em>mother</em> and <em>fetus</em>.
Importance :-)
- <em>It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.</em>
- <em>It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.</em>
- <em>It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.</em>
- <em>It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.</em>
<em></em>
Formation :-)
<em>Amniotic fluid </em>is present from the formation of the <em>gestational sac.</em> <em>Amniotic fluid </em>is in the <em>amniotic sac.</em> It is generated from <em>maternal plasma</em>, and passes through the <em>fetal membranes</em> by <em>osmotic</em> and <em>hydrostatic forces</em>. When <em>fetal kidneys</em> begin to function around week 16, <em>fetal urine</em> also contributes to the <em>fluid.</em> In earlier times, it was believed that the <em>amniotic fluid</em> was composed entirely of <em>fetal urine</em>.
The <em>fluid</em> is absorbed through the <em>fetal tissue</em> and <em>skin</em>. After <em>22 to 25 week </em>of<em> pregnancy</em>, <em>fraternization</em> of an <em>embryo's skin</em> occurs. When this process completes around the <em>25th week</em>, the<em> fluid</em> is primarily absorbed by the <em>fetal gut</em> for the remainder of <em>gestation</em>.
<em>Contents :-)</em>
At first, <em>amniotic fluid</em> is mainly water with <em>electrolytes</em>, but by about the <em>12-14th week</em> the <em>liquid</em> also contains <em>proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea</em>, all of which <em>aid</em> in the growth of the <em>fetus</em>.

Answer:
The correct answer to the question: The pineal body secretes which hormone that maintains the body´s internal clock, the 24-hour wake-sleep cycle, and regulates the onset and duration of sleep?, would be, C: Melatonin.
Explanation:
The process of sleep and wakefulness, also called the circadian cycle, its a pretty complex system that is controlled by several parts of the brain, but most importantly, structures of the diencephalon (vital is the hypothalamus), the pineal gland, and the stem of the brain. All these structures, and some others, respond to changes both in light perception by the eyes and other senses, heat, and homeostatic balances. These factor play a vital role in telling the human body that it is time for sleep, or to awaken. The pineal gland, as part of this melody, is essential, as it secretes the hormone, melatonin, in response to light changes. Melatonin will balance out the process of sleep, when it is secreted in high quantities by the pineal gland, and wakefulness, when it is no longer secreted in response to the presence of light. This is what is called the circadian cycle.
