Answer:
The intercalated cells in the distal convoluted tubule of a nephron can cause and increase or decrease in body pH.
Explanation:
The renal collecting duct is the nephron segment where the final urine content of acid equivalents and inorganic ions are determined.
Two types of cells regulate the acid-base and volume homeostasis.
Intercalated cells, which express acid-base transporters and vacuolar H+-ATPase, maintain an apropriate acid-base balance and principal cells that express the epithelial sodium channel ENaC and aquaporin 2, regulate electrolyte reabsorption.
Filtered bicarbonate is predominantly reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule about 80% and the remaining bicarbonate is reabsorbed from the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, the distal nephron, specifically the distal convoluted tubule & the connecting tubule, and finally the cortical and both the outer and inner medullary collecting duct.
Intercalated cells are enriched in mitochondria, and express proteins involved in transport of proton equivalents such as vacuolar H+-ATPase, carbonic anhydrase II and bicarbonate transporters. There are two types of intercalated cells Type-A and Type-B.
Cells that do a similar activity join together to shape body tissue, for example, muscle, skin, or bone tissue. Gatherings of various kinds of cells make up the organs in your body, for example, your heart, liver, or lungs. Every organ has own must do, however all organs cooperate to keep up your body.
Answer: Fungus
Explanation:
Fungi are microorgnaims characterized by the cell walls which is made of the substances known as chitin.
Most of the fungi are harmless and some of them are edible. Other fungi are infectious and can cause many fungal infections in the skin, lungs and nails of the organism.
It also causes itching, scaling and cracking of skin. Thrush is the condition which is caused by fungus Candila albicans which can infect the vagina, mouth and urinary tract.
Mud is the answer.
I hope this helps you! Have a great day :-D
