Resting membrane potentials Definition: Large nerve fibers when not transmitting nerve signals is about 90 millivolt. That is‚ the potential inside the fiber is 90 millivolts more negative than the potential in the extracellular fluid on the outside of the fiber. The Na+-k+ pump also causes large concentration gradients for sodium and potassium across the resting nerve membrane. These gradients are the following: Sodium ( outside): 142 mEq/L Sodium ( inside): 14 mEq/L Potassium ( outside):

Drinking too much water can lead to hyponatremia‚ water intoxication‚ water poisoning and death Liquid H2O is the sine qua non of life. Making up about 66 percent of the human body‚ water runs through the blood‚ inhabits the cells‚ and lurks in the spaces between. At every moment water escapes the body through sweat‚ urination‚ defecation or exhaled breath‚ among other routes. Replacing these lost stores is essential but rehydration can be overdone. There is such a thing as a fatal water overdose.

I believe in determination‚ determination is something that everyone should have. I’m an athlete and I think that every athlete should have some sort of determination. Determination is having your mind set on something and fulling that to the best of your ability. Every person should set goals in their life and to be able to accomplish those goals you need to be determined. This year I ran cross country. I hate running but I was determined not to give up cross country just because I hate running

PRE - DETERMINATION 1. One day‚ you feel as if you are going to meet someone. Fortunately‚ you meet that person on the same day. But my question is‚ “How did you feel that you will meet that person that day?” 2. Few incidents in our life happen accidentally‚ but you will feel as if the same incident has happened already‚ but you won’t be able to remember when exactly it happened! My question is‚ “Was that feeling real?” A solution to all such questions is this “THEORY OF PRE-DETERMINATION”. This

CELL THEORY – STEM CELLS Stem cells are a large focus of study in today’s biomedical world. “They are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state‚ and transform into differing tissue types depending on what the cells surrounding them are‚“ (National Institute of Health‚ 2012). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition‚ they also serve as an internal repair mechanism inside many tissues‚ dividing without

Determination of Sulfate by Gravimetry Jose Luis E. De Guzman University of Santo Tomas‚ Sampaloc‚ Manila The determination of the percentage of sulfate in a sample is done as an instrument of learning a quantitative method of analysis‚ i.e.‚ of the gravimetric analysis. This type of analysis‚ which makes use of the weight of the samples was used for the experiment and required the precipitation of our analyte‚ SO4-2‚ and its filtration as a BaSO4 precipitate so as for weighing it. The weight

Eric Wu 117 Experiment 1.6: Determination of Density Abstract: The purpose of the experiment was to determine if density is an intensive or extensive property of matter. The experiment proves that density is an intensive property. The density of an object remains the same no matter how much of it is present. The density is an intensive property because mass and volume changes at the same rate. Introduction: This experiment was designed to determine if density is an intensive or extensive

Brain Death Determination When the brain has a lack of oxygen‚ even for a few minutes‚ it could lead to loss of brain functions such as a gradual loss level of consciousness or a complete loss of consciousness causing the person to slip into a coma. In the most profound cases‚ irreversible brain damage and death occurs. Oxygen deficiency can by caused by many things‚ such as; a brain injury‚ fall from height‚ traffic accidents‚ heart failure‚ stroke or some neurological disease. That may cause
