What else can I help you with?
What percentage of liquid that reaches the kidneys turns into urine?
About 1% of the liquid that reaches the kidneys is filtered and eventually becomes urine. The rest is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.
What molecule is reabsorbed from the collecting duct so that urine becomes hypertonic?
water
Fluid that lies between cells and becomes lymph as it enters lymph capillaries?
Interstitial fluid
What serves as the middle man between the blood and the cells?
This is known as the interstitial fluid. A good deal of it becomes lymph drainage.
Is a lung transplant necessary for interstitial lung disease?
Not for mild interstitial lung disease. However, if it becomes severe, limiting the ability of the lung to do any useful work of breathing (oxygen in and CO2 out), then a lung transplant may be the only thing that will help.
Work out the percentage of a number?
Multiply by 100 and add a percentage sign after the answer. eg 3 becomes 300% 0.003 becomes 0.3%
0.65 to what percentage?
Multiply it by 100 and it becomes 65%
What is .045 in percentage?
Multiply it by 100 and then it becomes 4.5%
What do you mean by percentage points?
It just means percentage, but usually rounded to whole numbers. 88.3% becomes 88 percentage points
Interstitial fluid contains or is?
Interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds and bathes the cells in the body, providing them with nutrients and removing waste products. It is derived from blood plasma and contains ions, nutrients, gases, and waste products, serving as a medium for cellular communication and transport.
Why does the lymphatic system closely parallel the arteries and veins?
One of the main functions of the lymphatic system is returning lymph to circulation. As blood circulates through the body, nutrients, wastes, and gases are exchanged between the blood and interstitial fluid. Pressure forces fluid out of the blood at the arterial ends of the capillary beds and most of it to be reabsorbed at the venous ends. The fluid that remains behind becomes part of the interstitial fluid. This leaked fluid and any plasma proteins that escapes from the blood stream, must be carried back to the blood to ensure that the cardiovascular system has sufficient blood volume to operate properly. The lymphatic vessels collect the excess interstitial fluid and return it to the blood through the thoracic duct.Cowan, M. Kelly. Microbiology: A Systems Approach. Boston: McGraw-Hill, 2012.

How does the body's circulatory system adapt to maintain proper function when blood becomes very thick?
When blood becomes very thick, the body's circulatory system adapts by increasing the heart rate and blood pressure to help push the thicker blood through the blood vessels. This helps maintain proper circulation and deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues.
