pivotal for the provider to diagnose the right cause of constipation on order to be able to select the appropriate treatment. According to Edmunds‚ & Mayhew (2014)‚ all laxatives work by increasing fluid retention in the colon. There are five different types of laxative that can be used depending on the type of constipation. Bulk laxatives are non-digestible and non- absorbable‚ which cause the stool to absorb water‚ expands‚ become moisturized‚ increase bacterial growth‚ resulting in increased peristalsis

City University London Fluid Flow in a Duct of Varying Cross-Section Report: Khurshidanjum Pathan‚ Group A1a Abstract: The experiment is carried out to demonstrate the relation between pressure and fluid velocity in a duct of varying cross-section by using Bernoulli’s equation and continuity equation.(1) Bernoulli’s equation relates the pressure to the velocity for a fluid of constant density flowing in a Venturi tube. Static head‚ normalised head and percentage of errors were calculated using

HORMONES Hormones are a class of regulatory biochemicals produced in all multicellular organisms by glands‚ and transported by the circulatory system to a distant target organ to coordinate its physiology and behavior. They serve as a major form of communication between different organs and tissues. Hormones regulate a variety of physiological and behavioral activities‚ including digestion‚ metabolism‚ respiration‚ tissue function‚ sensory perception‚ sleep‚excretion‚ lactation‚ stress‚ growth and

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‚

Alterations in Fluids‚ Electrolytes‚ and Acid-Base Balance Composition & Compartment Distribution of Body Fluids ← Body fluids are distributed between the intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF) compartments. The ICF compartment consists of fluid contained within all of the billions of cells in the body. It is the larger of the two compartments‚ containing approximately two thirds of the body water in healthy adults. ← The remaining one third of body water is in

Title Membrane Permeability Aim To determine the effect of various chemicals and high temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot Hypothesis Organic solvent and high temperature will destroy the cell membrane and make it permeable to the red pigment. The higher the concentration of the alcohol‚ the greater will be this effect. Principle Beetroot is the material used in this experiment to demonstrate the effects of high temperature and chemicals on the permeability of the cell membranes

Coin Collecting I have a unique hobby that some people find unusual. I collect coins. Coin collecting isn’t just getting a collection of the state quarters from your grandparents‚ it is much more. There can be many different ways that collectors get their coins. Coin collectors can find coins that are in circulation‚ metal detect in places for various coins‚ or simply buy coins. Circulation coins are coins that show wear from the public use. Coin collecting can be considered a “different” hobby

in a thickly accented German tongue offers a hello. His name is Heinrich‚ and he is the local member of the stamp dealers guild. The room is generally quiet‚ and relaxing‚ and makes me think of a different time. I am reminded again of why stamp collecting has always appealed to me as I begin browsing each table. Boxes of postmarks and old letters each carry their own story of the past‚ and the stamps represent moments of cultural or historic significance that would largely be unknown to the average
