Summary Introduction

To describe: The reason why the diuretic helps Person S who is suffering from severe edema in the arms and legs.

Introduction: Fluid balance is defined as the process of regulation or balance between the amount of water gained each day and amount of water lost each day. Fluid balance highly depends on the concentration of sodium ions. When sodium ions are gained, the extracellular fluid volume increases, and when the sodium ions are lost, the extracellular fluid volume decreases.

Explanation of Solution

Edema is the condition where swelling of body parts is caused by the presence of excess fluid. It occurs in the body parts such as hands, arms, feet, ankles, and legs. When the volume of urine produced increases, the total blood volume decreases which in turn decreases the blood pressure. Edema occurs when the pressure of the blood exceeds the opposing reabsorption forces at the capillaries in the affected area. The diuretic compound tends to decrease the fluid volume by increasing the urine output. Thus, it helps Person S who is suffering from severe edema in arms and legs.

Topic: Benthic invertebrates as an indicator species for climate change, mapping changes in ecosystems (Historical Analysis & GIS)  What objects or events has the team chosen to analyze? How does your team wish to delineate the domain or scale in which these objects or events operate? How does that limited domain facilitate a more feasible research project? What is your understanding of their relationships to other objects and events? Are you excluding other things from consideration which may influence the phenomena you seek to understand? Examples of such exclusions might include certain air-born pollutants; a general class of water bodies near Ottawa, or measurements recorded at other months of the year; interview participants from other organizations that are involved in the development of your central topic or issue.   In what ways do your research questions follow as the most appropriate and/or most practical questions (given the circumstances) to pursue to better understand…
The Esp gene encodes a protein that alters the structure of the insulin receptor on osteoblasts and interferes with the binding of insulin to the receptor. A researcher created a group of osteoblasts with an Esp mutation that prevented the production of a functional Esp product (mutant). The researcher then exposed the mutant strain and a normal strain that expresses Esp to glucose and compared the levels of insulin in the blood near the osteoblasts (Figure 2). Which of the following claims is most consistent with the data shown in Figure 2 ? A Esp expression is necessary to prevent the overproduction of insulin. B Esp protein does not regulate blood-s
