    interstitial fluid‚ and intracellular fluid are identical‚ but the quantity of each substance varies among the compartments. The most striking differences are the low protein content in interstitial fluid compared with intracellular fluid and plasma and the fact that sodium and chloride ions are largely extracellular‚ whereas most of the potassium ions (approximately 90%) are intracellular. This unequal distribution of ions results in a voltage difference across cell membranes. Extracellular fluid can be

    Experiment 1 Fluid Flow In A Smooth Pipe Abstract In this experiment‚ three variable flow meters are used to alter the flowrate. Changes in pressure drop due to the change in flowrate are then observed from the three pressure gauges that can measure pressure at different range and recorded. The shift from laminar flow to turbulent flow is seen from the results recorded‚ but it is observed more clearly from the water-soluble dye experiment that was carried out by the demonstrator. Laminar flow turns to

    Name: ******** Class: DME2 Title: Flow Measurement Date: 11/02/2013 Lecturer: Mr Higgins Summary: In this experiment many different meters were used to measure fluid flow rate; the orifice plate‚ the venture meter‚ the rota meter and the weigh tank. Each meter works by its ability to alter a certain physical property of the flowing fluid and then allows this alteration to be measured. The measured alterations are linked directly to the flow rate and these measurements are subbed in

    MAE130B Concept/Question/Comments Film: Channel Flow of a Compressible Fluid Due Date: March 15‚ 2013 Concept 1: Choking Choking occurs when the Mach number at the throat of a channel flow is equal to one. Conceptually choking is the phenomena where the flow in a channel transitions to sonic flow. Due to the conditions of choking‚ the velocity‚ density‚ and pressure can increase or decrease continuously through a sonic throat‚ and the flow does not need to be symmetrical. Another notable phenomena

    Regulation of Blood Pressure and Blood Volume One way the body regulates blood pressure and blood volume is through the body’s use of baroreceptors‚ a mechanoreceptor of the nervous system. If there were low arterial blood pressure‚ the baroreceptors in one’s blood vessels could detect this. One’s baroreceptors in the aorta and carotid sinus of the cardiac system are constantly monitoring blood pressure. They send messages containing any changes through the central nervous system to the medulla oblongata

    describing the differences between intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid in the first observation is completely obvious. When reading the words intracellular and extracellular it can be seen that one is the interior of the cell and the other is the exterior of the cell. Intracellular fluid is restricted to the interior of the cell‚ and the cell membrane is the borderline of cytosol or cytoplasmic matrix. The compartments of the intracellular fluid are very important to know‚ as it contains mostly
