Question 2 is ansethosphere
Question 3 is high pressure(i think)
Answer:
The skinfold method, the measurement of subcutaneous fat folds, is the most widely adopted field method for the assessment of body fat, especially in children.
It is based on the principle that fat is of a known density and by “summing” measurements of subcutaneous fat thickness across the body, total and regional fat can be estimated.
Skinfold thickness measurements are typically used to rank individuals in terms of relative total “fatness”, or to assess subcutaneous fat at various regions of the body.
Population specific equations are used to derive estimates of percent body fat.
In infancy, it might be the sole tool available for assessing body composition longitudinally as other methods may not be feasible, or may only be suitable for use at body sizes e.g. PEA POD, can only measure infants up to 10kg.
Answer:
Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, draws water out of the cells.
Basically an hype tonic blood has high solute potential,( low water potential) compare with the surrounding plasma and the interstitial fluid. Thus the interstitial fluid is hypotonic to the blood.
Consequently,water with higher potential moves from the interstitial fluid medium into the blood by osmosis through the capillary endothelial. This raises the water potential of the blood, lowering the solute potential, thus making it hypotonic to the interstitial fluid; which is now hypertonic(lower water potential ,due to loss to the blood by osmosis).
Since the interstitial fluids is now hyper tonic to the surrounding cells, water moves from the hypo tonic surrounding cells through osmosis into the interstitial fluids. The sequence continues until a stable internal environment is achieved,
In the above question, if the bag refers to a dialysis bag, the membrane of a dialysis bag is a selectively permeable membrane that does not allow the movement of all molecules to diffuse across the ,membrane. Osmosis is best explained with the help of a dialysis bag. In the process of osmosis the movement of water molecules from their higher concentration to lower concentration take place across the membrane.
Thus, only water molecules will pass across the bag and limit the movement of other molecules.
