Excretion-filters water and solutes in the blood‚ the kidneys are able to excrete excess water Regulation- regulates plasma osmolarity which is the concentration of solution expressed as osmoles of solute per liter of solvent‚ plasma volume‚ body’s acid-base balance‚ and body’s electrolyte balance. 5.

Recent results of the National Nutrition and Health Survey (NNHeS II) by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) showed that more Filipinos have hypertension‚ high fasting blood sugar and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels‚ which are risk factors to cardiovascular diseases‚ diabetes and other lifestyle-related diseases. The NNHeS II showed that one in every four Filipino adults (25.3 percent) has hypertension or a blood pressure

main part of homeostasis. One of our livers key ways in doing so is by maintaining the blood glucose level. Our normal level of blood glucose is approximately 90 mg per 100cm3‚ and must be kept this way via the liver. The liver withdraws excess glucose from the plasma solution and either uses it for muscle respiration during exercise or stores it as glycogen in the hepatocytes. When the level of blood glucose decreases‚ it is

Hepatic glucose production is increased and disseminated to peripheral tissues although proteins and fats are being used for energy. Insulin levels and glucose use are in fact increased‚ but hyperglycaemia that is not necessarily resolved by the use of exogenous insulin is present. This appears‚ to some extent‚ to be driven by an elevated

such as hair follicles. Finasteride hinders the conversion of testosterone to the more effective dihydrotestosterone in the outer cells. Treatment of glucose intolerance‚ hyperinsulinemia‚ and anovulation can be achieved with Metformin. Decreasing circulating insulin levels may likely reduce ovarian androgen synthesis. Metformin diminishes glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinemia by increasing insulin sensitivity at the insulin target cells and decreasing hepatic gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis.

Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. ___ Two variables that affect rate of diffusion are molecule size and plasma membrane composition. A larger molecule will diffuse more slowly than a smaller molecule. The lipid content of the plasma membrane determines permeability of certain molecules. A plasma membrane with a higher lipid content is less permeable to water; however‚ it (more readily) allows transport of lipid soluble molecules. ___ 2. Why do you
