AURORKA [14]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Nephrotic syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms due to <u>kidney damage.</u>  

It is characteristic:

- Proteinuria (>3,5 g per 1,73m2 body surface area per day)

- Hypoalbuminemia (<2,5 g/dl)

- Hyperlipidemia

- Edema (the first signs can be seen in the face)

The edema is caused <u>due to the hypoalbuminemia.</u> When oncotic pressure drops, fluid tends to accumulate in interstitial tissues, leaving intravascular space. In response to the dropped volume in intravascular space, the kidneys tends to <u>retain water and sodium</u>, this also contribute to edema developing.

Most health experts recommend eating tuna a few times a week and eating shark few times a month because: eating these fish could result in the buildup of pollutants in fat tissue of humans.

<h3>Why health experts recommend tuna and shark to be consumed less?</h3>

Large fish like sharks and tuna feed on smaller fish and can accumulate high levels of environmental pollutants like mercury and the risk also increases as off-shore pollution increases.

Shark meat is recommended only a few times a month because sharks are apex predators who accumulate high levels of toxic chemicals and heavy metals from both skin absorption and from consuming prey. This is called bioaccumulation.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The respiratory center is divided into 3 main groups, the dorsal respiratory group and the ventral respiratory group, both located in the <u>medulla</u>, and the pontine respiratory group, located in the <u>pons</u>. This last one also divides into two areas: <em>the pneumotaxic and the apneustic center.</em>

During quiet, restful breathing, the dorsal group stimulates the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles for inspiration. Expiration then occurs depending on the elastic recoil of the lungs. When forced expiration is required, the ventral group activates.
