LABORATORY REPORT RENAL PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION: The kidneys‚ which maintain the purity and constancy of our internal fluids‚ are perfect examples of homeostatic organs. They regulate the chemical content the pH and osmotic pressure of the blood. Kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream. They then process this filtrate‚ allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions. Factors that affect urine

Based on the symptoms described (restlessness‚ nervousness‚ insomnia‚ elevated heart rate‚ tremors‚ warm moist hands‚ and enlarged thyroid gland)‚ it suggests the possibility of hyperthyroidism‚ specifically Graves’ disease. In Graves’ disease‚ the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). Therefore‚ I would predict her T3 and T4 blood levels to be above normal due to the overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Additionally‚ in Graves’ disease‚ there

may become blurred in some cases blindness. Very high blood pressure can cause a break in a weakened blood vessel which then bleeds in the brain causing a stroke. The organs involved in hypertension are the heart‚ brain‚ and kidneys. The homeostatic imbalance of hypertension is a major cause of heart failure‚ vascular disease‚ renal failure‚ and stroke due to several factors heredity‚ diet‚ obesity‚ age (over 40)‚ stress‚ diabetes‚ and smoking.

What types of proteins in the cell membrane were involved in the homeostatic imbalances of his heart cells? ATP affects the pumping into the membrane by opening ion channels‚ ATPases would affect it in the opposite way because of the lack of ATPases the ATP wouldn’t be taken away. F.
