There are five different types of laxative that can be used depending on the type of constipation. Bulk laxatives are non-digestible and non- absorbable‚ which cause the stool to absorb water‚ expands‚ become moisturized‚ increase bacterial growth‚ resulting in increased peristalsis. An example of bulk laxative is psyllium. On the

Drunk driving “Please blow into this machine. Thank you.” If you are a driver‚ this sentence is familiar to you. Many police examine drunk driving at the crossroads every day. Meanwhile‚ numbers of advertisements and messages on TVs and radios persuade us not to drive after drinking. Driving without drinking has become a common understanding. But why do we have to accept this? And what would we do if somebody is drunk driving? Today‚ I hope to convince you that drunk driving is terrible and that

calcium content in our blood remains stable? These things and many more are maintained as part of a process called homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body’s maintenance of a stable internal environment‚ and depending on what particular aspect of the body’s physiology you are talking about there are corresponding systems to maintain this normal‚ stable range. The body maintains homeostasis through a self regulating control system‚ or "homeostatic mechanism" (Shier) if you will. All of these homeostatic

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.

Amino Acids Glycine is the smallest of the amino acids. It is ambivalent‚ meaning that it can be inside or outside of the protein molecule. In aqueous solution at or near neutral pH‚ glycine will exist predominantly as the zwitterion. Alanine is a hydrophobic molecule. It is ambivalent‚ meaning that it can be inside or outside of the protein molecule. The α carbon of alanine is optically active; in proteins‚ only the L-isomer is found. Serine differs from alanine in that one of the methylenic

Question Does age affect people’s ability to maintain homeostasis? Does height affect people’s ability to maintain homeostasis? Hypothesis My hypothesis is that as people age‚ they begin having a more difficult time maintaining homeostasis because their body can no longer respond as quickly to an outside stimulus to restore homeostasis. However‚ due to the small age range of the sample set‚ there may be only a small discernable differences in heartbeats per minute between age groups. My hypothesis

Due to sudden change of course or rough terrain‚ one of the kids lost his balance & fell to the safe side

Maintaining Dynamic Homeostasis A group of scientists in the AP Biology Development Committee have used their knowledge‚ discovered‚ and written down new AP Biology Principles that explains and guides you through biologically systems and how living things function. One principle states: Organisms use feedback mechanisms to regulate growth and reproduction‚ and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. In order to understand this biology principle‚ you must understand the operation of the feedback system
