P4 – Explain the role of the kidney in the homeostatic control of fluid balance Homeostasis is how our body works to keep the internal environment constant. The kidneys play a role in the control of fluid balance. For this assignment I will be discussing the gross anatomy of the renal system and the kidney. Renal System The renal system is a group of organs that work together to produce‚ store‚ and release urine. It consists of 2 kidneys‚ ureters‚ the urinary bladder‚ urethra and renal vessels which

2011 Pre-course Learning Objectives: Fluids and Electrolytes: 1. Identify and describe the composition of the fluid compartments within the body Either Intracellular fluid (ICF- 2/3 of the body’s water) or extracellular fluid (ECF -one third of the body’s water). The two main extracellular fluid compartments are the interstitial fluid and the intravascular fluid‚ which is the blood plasma. Other ECF compartments include the lymph and the transcellular fluids such as the synovial ‚ intestinal‚

I agree with with the message that WALL-E is trying to send everyone because it’s incredibly obvious that it’s showing up in our world now. The clear message that the director of WALL-E was trying to send us was that karma will come back to bite you in the butt. With people in the world who keep on buying materials that they don’t necessarily need and throwing them out just as quickly‚ to go buy other materials again‚ there’s absolutely no way that we will be able to keep our planet sustainable.

In the days after the initial occupation the movement started to grow and spread quickly‚ even with no established goals. The movement impressively set up kitchens‚ mental health squads‚ libraries‚ media teams and published a newspaper‚ giving a sense of community for occupiers (Giltin‚ 2011 p.26). Protesters through the financial district were carried out shouting chants such as “we are the 99%” and “this is what democracy looks like”. The protests were attended from anywhere from a small amount

Water Filtration There is a wide range of filtration methods currently being used all over the world. Some can be dangerous to handle and very reactive while others can be used in an any day household. Although no filtration method is perfect‚ combining different forms of filtration can provide near-perfect water. One note to take is that most of the time the more that is filtered‚ the pricier the method is. Three very effective methods of water filtration are “Ion Exchange”‚ UV light‚ and
