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

Angelique Kennedy 7/19/13 Unit 2 Case Study- The Cellular level of organization A. List Joseph’s risk factors and create a brief summary of the information you have so far. 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

Blood Water Homeostasis or Osmoregulation Osmoregulation is the process by which the body regulated the osmotic pressure of any organism’s fluids in order to keep the homeostasis of the organisms’ water level constant. Therefore osmoregulation is used to keep the bodily fluid from being too diluted or too concentrated. An osmotic pressure is used to measure the ability of water to move from one solution to another solution through osmosis. Osmotic pressure refers to tendency for a liquid solution

If a person experiences a severe imbalance of electrolytes at any point of their lives‚ it could be deadly. When someone takes a grain of salt and puts it into a glass of water‚ the salt dissolves into the glass. Despite the fact the salt is dissolved in the glass‚ it is actually breaking

CAUSES‚ SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS OF DIABETES INSIPIDUS Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is defined as a disorder that causes a high volume of urine in a patient; this massive volume of urine is usually accompanied by intense thirst. Although very different from Diabetes Mellitus‚ the disorder can affect infants‚ children and adults as well. With numerous causes and symptoms‚ there are also several different treatments for DI. I hope to cover and briefly discuss some of the causes‚ symptoms and treatments

Evaporation is the conversion of water from a liquid to a gaseous form. Heat is lost when water evaporates from the body surface. (Seeley‚ Stephen & Tate 2002). According to Gould (1993)‚ The regulation of body temperature is one of a range of homeostatic mechanisms‚ which play a part in maintaining a constant internal

B- Assuming Joseph’s heart has stopped‚ what cellular processes and membrane functions are going to be affected by the loss of oxygen‚ blood glucose‚ and waste removal? Since Joseph’s heart has stopped oxygen‚ glucose‚ and other essential ions that were required for the heart to pump slowed‚ but the cells continued working using the supply of ATP rapidly. The Carbon dioxide levels inside of the cell rose‚ and the pH began to drop. The mitochondria no longer had the required oxygen and glucose
