Fluid Balance Explain in detail the fluid compartments of the body‚ including distribution of fluid and electrolytes within each compartment and the movement between compartments. In the average person water constitutes 60% to the total body weight.: 42L in a 70kg individual. 40% is intracellelular fluid‚ while remaining 20% is extracellular. The extracellular fluid can be divided into plasma (from intravascular compartment) and interstitial fluid intracellular fluid (28 L‚ about 35% of lean

Outline how stress affects the body Stress and many stressors can effect the mind and body as a total unit. When one area is effected‚ it becomes a strategic systematic response through all body systems. Stress usually affects the thought process and the ability to pay attention or complete daily tasks. When the stress continues‚ it becomes more deep rooted issue that can lead to depression‚ chronic fatigue‚ lack of sleep‚ creates eating disorders (usually bulemia or binge eating)‚ and eventually

1. Briefly explain how does the body maintain homeostasis? Homeostasis is a existence and maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment. Homeostasis is maintain by negative and positive feedback mechanism. Most homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback mechanisms. In these system‚ the output shut off the original stimulus or reduce its intensity. These mechanisms cause the variable to change in a direction opposite to that of the initial change‚ returning it to its “ideal”

following statements as either true or false. If false‚ explain why. (a) Viscosity is a measure of how easily a fluid flows. (b) Although important‚ fluids are not essential to many living things. (c) A meniscus forms when water particles adhere to the sides of their container. (d) Buoyancy‚ like water pressure‚ acts in all directions. 2. Describe the relationship between mass‚ volume‚ and density of matter. 3. Use the particle theory to explain the differences between solids‚ liquids‚ and gases

Body fluids are maintained at a constant level by several homeostatic mechanisms: Osmosis- is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane known as a plasma membrane. Water is highly polar it is repelled by the lipid core (nonpolar) of the plasma membrane but can easily pass through the aquaporins created by the proteins in the membrane‚ so osmosis is happening all the time as water moves into and out of cells. Diffusion- Is where ions move away from an area where they are

City University London Fluid Flow in a Duct of Varying Cross-Section Report: Khurshidanjum Pathan‚ Group A1a Abstract: The experiment is carried out to demonstrate the relation between pressure and fluid velocity in a duct of varying cross-section by using Bernoulli’s equation and continuity equation.(1) Bernoulli’s equation relates the pressure to the velocity for a fluid of constant density flowing in a Venturi tube. Static head‚ normalised head and percentage of errors were calculated using

____________________________ Date ____________ THE EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION ON THE RATE OF DIFFUSION PURPOSE: This experiment will explore the concentration gradient by measuring the rate of diffusion in a number of theoretical cells. The objectives for this lab are: (1) To define concentration gradient‚ (2) To explain experimental data concerning different concentration gradients‚ (3) To complete a data table and prepare a graph to illustrate the data‚ and (4) To apply information from this experiment to other related

These factors include the effect of blood vessel radius‚ the effect of blood viscosity‚ as well as the effect of blood vessel length‚ and the effect of blood pressure. This better understanding of cardiovascular dynamics was achieved with PhysioEx 9.1. Hypothesis: Hypothesis- Activity 1: Studying the Effect of Blood Vessel Radius on Blood Flow

Experiment 3: Fluid Flow Friction and Fitting Loss Objective To determine the pressure or head loss in different diameters pipes‚ joints and valves Theory Pipe flows belong to a broader class of flows‚ called internal flows‚ where the fluid is completely bounded by solid surfaces. In contrast‚ in external flows‚ such as flow over a flat plate or an airplane wing‚ only part of the flow is bounded by a solid surface. The term pipe flow is generally used to describe flow through round pipes

Direction and concentration gradients Bradley Benton ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ we will investigate the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. A semi‐permeable membrane (dialysis tubing) and sucrose will create an osmotic environment similar to that of a cell. Using different concentrations of sucrose (which is unable to cross the membrane) will allow us to examine the net movement of water across the membrane.
