How will the filtration rate in the renal corpuscles be affected if a kidney stone creates a blockage of the urinary tract?

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

There will be a progressive fall in glomerular filtration rate.

Explanation:

The glomerular filtration rate,GFR, shows how well the Kidney is functioning or working. When the Kidney is not working well, it doesn't filter the way it should.

Note that, Glomerular filtration is the process of removing wastes and excess fluid to become part of the urine, by the kidney.

The table below shows the dimensions of two colored cubes.

Lelechka [254]

Answer: The correct answer is black because the product of its side and mass is lower.

Explanation: Density of a substance is defined as the mount of matter that can be stored in a given volume.

Mathematically,

$Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}$

As, density is inversely proportional to the volume of the substance.

The substance will be more denser if it has less volume and it will be less denser if the volume is more.

We are given two cubes having different sides.

Volume of the cube is calculated by using the formula:

$V=a^3$

where, a = side of the cube.

Black: The side of this cube is 2 and volume will be = $2^3=8cm^3$

Yellow: The side of this cube is 3 and volume will be = $3^3=27cm^3
$

As, the volume of black cube is less. So, this cube will be more denser.

Density of black cube: $\frac{48}{8}=6g/cm^3$

Density of Yellow Cube: $\frac{135}{27}=5g/cm^3$

Hence, black cube will be more denser because the product of its side and mass is lower.

An older adult with a history of small cell lung carcinoma reports muscle cramping, thirst, and fatigue. the primary healthcare

devlian [24]

The answer is Urine specific gravity less than 1.025. Because the exact gravity is less than 1.025 after treatment, the outcome is measured positive. In syndrome of unsuitable antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), the specific gravity is greater than 1.025. Small cell lung cancer is a risk factor of SIADH.
