and fluid excretion: There is usually a balance between intake and excretion of water. If the water balance becomes unbalanced‚ this can greatly affect various bodily functions such as blood pressure‚ blood sugar levels or brain function. This imbalance will also create a thirst reaction and by the time we perceive this‚ our body is already mildly dehydrated. • Water as a means of transport: Most of the water‚ which a person takes in each day‚ is required to transport nutrients into the cells

hypovolemic and/or metabolic shock caused by ketoacidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) usually occurs in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus‚ but diabetic ketoacidosis can develop in any person with diabetes (Diabetes UK‚ 2013). DKA results from dehydration during a state of relative insulin

What types of proteins in the cell membrane were involved in the homeostatic imbalances of his heart cells? Without ATP the sodium potassium ion channels can’t operate. The heart can’t contract properly. Increased Calcium sent the heart in to a prolonged contraction‚ it convulsed recklessly. F. Why was reestablishing oxygen

The type of proteins in the cell membrane that were involved in the homeostatic imbalances of his heart cells were ATPases‚ and ATP. The lack of ATP affected the membrane pumps‚ and ATPases had stopped moving calcium from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum of his heart cells. 5. F. It was important to reestablish oxygen

obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which can be very devastating. During the beginning stages of chronic bronchitis‚ slight coughing may be seen in the morning and as the disease progresses the individual may cough all throughout the day. This homeostatic imbalance causes a build up of excess mucus which in turn causes shortness of breath due to less airflow. Signs of excessive coughing can be seen also some may even see some blood in the mucus. The airway passages start to get inflamed starting with

Joseph’s Story Jalisa Cason A&P 1 Unit 2 case study B. Cellular processes and membrane functions that will be affected if Joseph’s heart stopped would be as follows. Oxygen‚ glucose‚ and essential ions that are required for the heart to pump will slow down. Each of his cells will have to work harder and faster which uses up his energy supply. Carbon dioxide levels inside the cells will rise‚ which causes his PH to drop. The mitochondria will run out of oxygen and glucose to make essential ATP

•The cause of this condition is unknown. It is said that is may have come from extreme levels of HCG. •The signs & symptoms of this condition are the following: severe nausea‚ the feeling of faint‚ & persistent vomiting. These may lead to dehydration‚ excessive salivation‚ the feeling of always being tired‚ & the feeling of weakness. •The following labs need to be monitored with this condition: urinalysis‚ serum levels‚ liver enzymes & bilirubin levels‚ urine culture‚ the patients calcium

Identify how his risk factors would affect cellular function. Joseph’s risk factors include family history of vascular disease‚ his diet‚ smoking cigarettes. His risk factors would affect cellular function greatly because of the strain it puts on the heart. B. Assuming Joseph’s heart has stopped‚ what cellular processes

difficile. He stated that he has had a bout of diarrhea that has been unresolved after completing a round of vancomycin and has recently lost an excess of 5 pounds. Dehydration was initially treated with intravenous fluids. However‚ it was discovered that he was in acute kidney failure and was diagnosed with acute kidney injury. His dehydration is due to fluid loss from diarrhea causing low circulating volume‚ however because his renal function is impaired he is retaining fluid in his interstitial tissues
