A.O. is an 89-year-old woman with a long history of systolic heart failure secondary to a large left ventricular infarct when she was in her 70s. She had poor activity tolerance and required assistance with activities of daily living. Even minimal activity was associated with moderately severe dyspnea and exertional chest pain, which was relieved by rest. A.O. also exhibited marked pedal edema bilaterally. She is being treated with digitalis, furosemide (Lasix), KCl, and sublingual nitroglycerin.
What compensatory mechanisms are likely to be operative in A.O. to enhance cardiac output?
A. Prolonged stretch on the myocardium results in myocardial atrophy.
B. Baroreceptors detect low blood pressure and cardiac output and activate the parasympathetic system resulting in increased heart rate.
C. Renin-angiotensin system activation causes decreased glomerular filtration rate and fluid retention, which results in increased preload.
D. Baroreceptors detect low blood pressure and cardiac output and activate the sympathetic system resulting in decreased heart rate.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is ''C. Renin-angiotensin system activation causes decreased glomerular filtration rate and fluid retention, which results in increased preload.''

Explanation:

In states of low cardiac output, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway is activated as a compensatory mechanism, whose objective is to fundamentally modify the peripheral circulation, which operates in conjunction with the activation of the medullary neuro-adrenal system, to maintain blood pressure. These two mechanisms, which are totally different, are closely linked; thus, stimulation of beta-1 adrenoreceptors in the juxtaglomerular apparatus, as a consequence of a high adrenergic output, causes renin output in heart failure. On the other hand, the activation of baroreceptors in the renal vascular bed caused by a reduction in renal blood flow, is also responsible for the release of renin, it occurs in patients with severe heart failure managed with diuretics and salt restriction.

Answers

Answer:

Karyotypes describe the chromosome count of an organism and what these chromosomes look like under a light microscope. Attention is paid to their length, the position of the centromeres, banding pattern, any differences between the sex chromosomes, and any other physical characteristics.

Explanation:

As this karyotype displays, a diploid human cell contains 22 pairs of homologous chromosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. ... The maternal and paternal chromosomes in a homologous pair have the same genes at the same locus, but possibly different alleles.

Human blood type is determined by three alleles IA, IB, and IO. The alleles IA and IB are co-dominant to each other, and both are dominant to IO. Within a large, randomly mating population (540,000 individuals), the frequencies for the blood type alleles are 0.3 for the IA allele, 0.6 for the IO allele, and 0.1 for the IB allele. Calculate the expected numbers of people in the population having the blood type of A.

Answers

Answer:

1a. Number of people in the population with blood group A = 243000

1b. Number of people in the population with blood group B = 70,200

1c. Number of people in the population with blood group AB = 32,400

1d. Number of people in the population with blood group O = 194000

2. The percentage of type B people that are heterozygotes (IBIO) = 12%

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:

Human blood type is determined by three alleles IA, IB, and IO. The alleles IA and IB are co-dominant to each other, and both ar e dominant to IO. Within a large, randomly mating population (540,000 individuals), the frequencies for the blood type alleles are 0.3 for the IA allele, 0.6 for IO, and 0.1 for the IB allele. a. Calculate the expected numbers of people in the population having each blood type A, B, AB, and O. b. 2. Determine the percentage of type B people that are heterozygotes (IBIO).

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, p²+q²+2pq=1

Where heterozygote allele 2pq,

p² = dominant h0m0zygous frequency

2pq = heterozygous frequency

q² = recessive h0m0zygous frequency

1a. Blood group A has two genotypes- IAIA and IAIO

The genotype frequency will be:

IAIA= 0.3 X 0.3 = 0.09

IAIO= 2 × 0.3 x 0.6 = 0.36

Total genotype frequency = 0.09 + 0.36 = 0.45

Number of people in the population with blood group A = 0.45 × 540,000 = 243000

b. Blood group has two genotypes- IAIB and IBIO

The genotype frequency will be:

IBIB= 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01

IBIO = 2 × 0.1 x 0.6 = 0.12

Total genotype frequncy = 0.13

Number of people in the population with blood group B = 0.13 × 540,000 = 70,200

c. Blood group AB genotype frequency is 2 × IAIB x IAIB

Blood group AB = 2 × 0.3 x 0.1 = 0.06

Number of people in the population with blood group AB = 0.06 × 540,000 = 32,400

d. Blood group O has one genotype IOIO

IOIO = 0.6 × 0.6 = 0.36

Number of people in the population with blood group O = 0.36 × 540000 = 194000

2. Genotype frequency of heterozygote IBIO blood group = 2 × IB × IO

2 × 0.1 x 0.6 = 0.12 = 12%

The percentage of type B people that are heterozygotes (IBIO) = 12%

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - C. An increase in the sustainability of an ecosystem.

Explanation:

Biodiversity is the variety of different biological species and populations on the earth or in an ecosystem. Biodiversity helps in maintaining health by providing food and other resources. Higher biodiversity healthier the earth.

Sustainability is the ability to maintain the ecological process and its structure and function in case of external stress for a longer time. The more sustainability of an ecosystem the healthier the ecosystem. The biodiversity of an ecosystem provides sustainability to the ecosystem. An increase in biodiversity will lead to a more sustainable ecosystem.

why the solute can't move from higher concentration to lower concentration?

Answers

Answer:

yes, so when the concentration of a solute is high, the concentration of water is lowered since there is more solute per water, less water per solute. Thus, when water moves from low concentrations of solute to high concentrations of solute, it moves from high concentrations of water to low concentrations of water.

Answers

Answer:

4) It allows the exchange of nutrients between the embryo and the mother, while at the same time filtering out harmful material.

Explanation:

The placenta is an organ present in all mammals. She is confirmed between the 6th and 8th week of pregnancy and has as main function the exchange of substances between the mother and the fetus. Among these substances are nutrients, gases and even secretions. The placenta also has the function of fighting infections and promoting immunity to the fetus, in addition, it can act as the lung, the intestine and the liver, while the fetus does not develop its organs.
