Chapter 57, Problem 1PL
When comparing the position of the two kidneys.
a. they are at the same level.
b. the right kidney is slightly superior to the left kidney.
c. the right kidney is slightly inferior to the left kidney.
d. the right kidney is anterior to the left kidney.
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
Introduction :
Urinary system or the excretory system is the organ system present in mammals and other animals. The main function of this system is to get rid of the toxic chemicals, especially nitrogenous waster produced by the body in various biochemical processes. The kidney is the chief organ of the excretory system.
Answer to Problem 1PL
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (c).
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (c) the right kidney is slightly inferior to the left kidney. The kidney is present in abdominal cavity. The right kidney lies just beneath the liver. Due to the large size of liver, it is present slightly downwards or inferior as compared to the left kidney. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (a) they are present at same positions. The right and the left kidneys are slightly different. They are not aligned at the same position. The presence of liver above the right kidney makes is slightly inferior to the left one. So, this option is incorrect.
Option (b) right kidney is superior to the left kidney. The right kidney is slightly downwards, so, the left kidney is superior to the right one. So, option (b) is incorrect.
Option (d) the right kidney is inferior to the left kidney. The right and the left kidney are retroperitoneal in position and lie in the same plane. So, option (d) is incorrect.

List substitutions in your diet you could make to improve it based on what you know now about a balanced diet. For instance, if you like to drink soda, you might substitute skim milk or water for some of the soft drinks you consumed. List the item you wish to replace with the new item and what you hope to accomplish with that substitution. Be sure to choose foods you know that you'd enjoy and you consider more "healthful." If you feel your diet is already balanced, describe how you accomplish your balanced intake and when you began eating this way.
Which single food item contained you ate for the 3 days with the most sodium?
Select a diet and choose one site that provides credible information. Explain why the source itself and/or the information on the site is credible. This should be a report. This site should be different from U.S News and World Report.
For full credit, you must include the following information and elaborate in detail:
The diet name
The main components of the diet
The credible website name and link
What makes the credible website credible?

In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate.

However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0 Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present. Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…arrow_forward
