Doctors have injected a patient with a freely filtered substance that can be neither reabsorbed nor secreted. What is an example
julsineya [31]

Inulin is an illustration of material of this type that cannot be reabsorbed or secreted.

How does inulin avoid being both reabsorbed and secreted?

  • Due to its special characteristics, inulin is the only chemical whose clearance is precisely equal to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
  • Although inulin is readily passed across the glomerular capillaries, neither is absorbed into the body nor released after filtering.
  • As a result, the volume of inulin filtered and excreted will be the same. Because of these factors, inulin is referred to as a glomerular marker.
  • The clearance ratio, which is the comparison between the clearance of any drug (x) and the clearance of inulin, is used to express this comparison. Thus,

                           Clearance ratio = C_{X} / C_{inulin}

Therefore it can be concluded that inulin cannot be released or reabsorbed after being injected into a patient.

Of the following cell types, which are found patrolling areas exposed to harmful bacteria?
netineya [11]

Answer:

C. Macrophages

Explanation:

Macrophages are derived from monocytes of the bone marrow. They migrate to connective tissue and are in charge of phagocytosis of foreign particles. They also participate in the enhancement of inmunological activities of lymphocytes. Macrophages can be found in infection sites, since they detect, phagocytose and destroy bacteria and other harmful organisms.

Antibiotics are routinely introduced into the food of cattle, chickens and other livestock, which causes the animals to grow fas
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Bacteria are highly adaptable microorganisms who have the capability of developing defense mechanisms against that which may harm them. Not least important of all, is the easiness with which some bacteria, especially pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella, or Klebsiella, develop mechanisms of resistance to antiseptics and, most importantly, antibiotics.

Antibiotics are a chemical substance that was created, and has been developed, in order to be able to combat pathogenic microorganisms, specifically bacteria. However, because today these substances are being used indiscriminately, we are now seeing a very worrying pattern of antibiotic-resistance patterns in microorganisms that used to be sensible to them. The result, we are facing strains of pathogenic bacteria, like Klebsiella pneumonia and E. Coli, that have become resistan to all types of antibiotics, from first generation, to fourth generation. And this has meant that when people acquire infection by these pathogens, the likelihood of death by them has increased because there are no agents capable of combating them.

Exposure to antibiotics has been the sole reason why these resistant strains of bacteria have emerged, especially when these antibiotics are not necessary. And feeding these substances to animals, to ensure their development and weight gain, has not made the situation any better. Now, we are instead adding also bacteria to the list that did not use to be resistant, but that are becoming so as they become adjusted to the constant exposure to antibiotics. Again, the result has been: more people infected with bacterial strains that cannot be combated with any of the existing antibiotic agents.
