In the health science field, the specific gravity of urine and blood samples
is __________
a test that can help diagnose early stages of
diseases like kidney disorder and diabetes change the composition of urine
to read specific gravity :
1-graduated stem
2-float=يطفو
3-ballast : a heavy substance (such as rocks or water) placed in such a way as to improve stability and control
ba list / ha v / floht
