Suggest why the blood flows through many channels in the dialysis unit, rather than through a single large channel

Biology

agasfer [191]3 years ago

Hello there I hope you are having a great day :)

Blood travels through many different channels to optimize absorption. The water potential in the solution in the dialysis machine will need to be less than in the blood. If all the blood flows through a single large channel the blood water potential may be more negative than outside, therefore slowing absorption.

How can this PLR (pupillary light reflex) help you determine whether the lesion is in the eye itself or elsewhere?
Contact [7]

Answer:

Pupillary light reflex refers to the contraction that the pupils present when they light up. In cases of injury to the optic nerve, when the eye where the injured optic nerve is illuminated, since it cannot conduct the stimulus to the brain, neither pupil closes.

Explanation:

Pupillary light reflex refers to the reaction that causes the pupil to close with light thanks to the contraction of the sphincter of the pupil and to open in the dark thanks to the relaxation of that muscle by not receiving any stimulus. A light stimulus reaches the eye and in the retina it is transformed, through a chemical reaction, into an electrical stimulus that will be transmitted through the optic nerve and the visual pathways to the brain. The visual cells of the retina, rods and cones, also act as light receptors that control the pupil's motor activity. Thus, pupil-motor thresholds to light follow the same spectral sensitivity deviations as visual thresholds, which are a function of the state of light adaptation of the retina.

the fertilization of ovules from plant Q by pollen from plant R results in the productions of seeds. What percent of the genes i
Helga [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - zero or 0%.

Explanation:

The fertilization in flowering plants takes place by fusing the pollen of one plant or flower with the ovum of another plant or flower of the same species normally and form a zygote. The zygote gets an equal amount of genetic material from both parent plants by the process f exchange of the genetic material.

The ovum or the egg cell of the plant is considered as the mother and the mother is responsible for the chloroplast And mitochondria of the progeny so in this case, the ovum and egg cell comes from the only plant Q thus, the percentage of chloroplast genes provided via Plant R is 0%.
