place of drawing blood. The results that we our anticipating are that ADH levels in the group of subjects that ingested the 6 gm. Of NaCl would increase over time in response to the increased osmolarity of the blood from all of the salt. Urine output would decrease and eventually the body would stabilize. Purpose: In this experiment‚ renal regulation of osmolarity will be demonstrated through the use of urinalysis. Materials and Methods: In this experiment‚ we assigned two groups. The

i) The body needs an increased cardiac output during exercise because the increased consumption of oxygen and nutrients by muscle cells requires more blood supply. The functions of blood include delivering oxygen‚ removing CO2‚ removing heat and delivering nutrients and water. Therefore‚ blood flow is important in cellular respiration‚ which is the process where ATP is produced through the conversion of metabolites‚ also involving the consumption of oxygen and release of CO2 as a waste product.

structural deviation in the cardiac system that inhibits the heart’s ventricles from filling and ejecting blood in its fullest capacity. When the heart’s ability to effectively pump blood decreases it lacks the ability to meet the need for blood in all other areas of the body. 1-3 Heart failure is considered a progressive condition that originates from a cardiovascular event that damages the function of the heart to contract and relax.1 This results in a decrease in cardiac output which leads to various
