GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF DISORDERS OF WATER BALANCE (HYPONATREMIA AND HYPERNATREMIA) AND SODIUM BALANCE (HYPOVOLEMIA AND EDEMA) Literature review current through: Sep 2013. | This topic last updated: ene 15‚ 2013. 1. INTRODUCTION — The plasma sodium concentration is regulated by changes in water intake and excretion‚ not by changes in sodium balance. hyponatremia is primarily due to the intake of water that cannot be excreted hypernatremia is primarily due to the loss of water that has not

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

The complex human body with its interdependent physiological subsystems can be scaled down to a collection of various types of molecules. The accessibility to the molecular and atomic components

Catecholemines are produced in the medulla of the adrenal gland and are classified as amine hormones since they are derived from tyrosine. Stimulation of the chromaffin cells causes an influx of calcium ions‚ which causes the vesicles to merge with the plasma membrane and release the hormone by exocytosis. Are catecholemines water-soluble or lipid-soluble? Its hydrophilic which requires no carrier. 4. Thyroid hormones include two molecules called T3 and T4. T3 consists of two tyrosine molecules plus

Explain how the structure of the cell determines its function. Give at least 3 examples. Being specialized means that the cell or organelles structure is suited specifically for its function. Three examples of this are mitochondria‚ lysosomes‚ and the plasma membrane. Mitochondria have a lot of surface area so they can create more energy. Lysosomes

Research carried out by the International Diabetes Federation (2009) reveals that around 314 million people‚ equating to 8.2% of the global adult population‚ may have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) which is a condition that often precedes the development of diabetes. The incidence of diabetes in Malaysia is similar to other countries in the world (Malaysian Diabetes Association‚ 2009). Diabetes Mellitus is one of the

It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing (except virus‚ which consists only from DNA/RNA covered by protein and lipids)‚ and is often called the building block of life. Organisms can be classified as unicellular (consisting of a single cell; including most bacteria) or

Renal disease case study This case relates to renal disease; therefore~ purposefully look into the medication use and vocabulary as they relate to renal patients. Vocabulary: Before attempting to work the case study‚ define each of the vocabulary words. Although the words may have several subheadings‚ it will give you a place to begin your inquiry. When reviewing the vocabulary words‚ you might want to ask several questions: who‚ what‚ where‚ when‚ why and how. This should give you a much broader

Examining Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction: Purpose: 1. To simulate and observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane through color change and sugar tests. 2. To speculate osmosis occurring in dialysis bags and potato cores by comparing percentage change in masses. Background information: Molecules are always in random‚ constant movement due to their kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of a cell to move around and bump into each other
