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

1. How does the ego-id-superego apparatus interact? Please be as explicit as possible. Freud’s structural model of the psyche is composed of three parts of the psychic apparatus the id‚ego and the super-ego. All three develop and different stages in life and play an important role in how we interact. Based on the studies of Freud we all are born with our id‚ the id’s role is an important one due to the fact that it allows us to gain our basic needs as newborns. Freud believed that the id is based

Management of Fluid overload in Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) Chronic Renal Failure is a long term serious irreversible condition‚ described as the gradual loss of kidney function (McCarthy‚ et al 2009). The number of patients suffering from CRF in United Kingdom (UK) is rising rapidly. Ferenbach and Wood (2005‚ p.16) state that in UK‚ about 6000 people are commencing dialysis treatment per year. Fluid overload is a frequently observed finding in renal failure patients. About one third of the patients

OBJECTIVE:Clinical jaundice evident within 24 hour of birth | Risk for fluid volume deficit related to phototherapy | Phototherapy enhances the excretion of unconjugated bilirubin through the bowel. | The infant will exhibit no signs of dehydration‚ clear amber urine output of 1-3 mL/kg/hr‚ and will display appropriate weight gain. | 6. Initiate early feedings and offer feedings ever 2-3 hours.2. Monitor urine specific gravity.3. Administer fluid intake that is 25% above normal requirements. 4. Assess for

determine the pump power. Overview A pump can serve to move liquid‚ as in a cross country pipeline‚ to lift liquid as from a well or to the top of a tall building; or to put fluid under pressure as in a hydraulic brake. In chemical plants and refineries pumps transfer or circulate oil and a great variety of fluids. General Start - Up Procedures Before conducting any experiment‚ it is necessary to do the following checking to avoid any misuse and malfunction of equipment. 1. Fill sump

Chapter 6 Momentum Analysis of Flow Systems Chapter 6 MOMENTUM ANALYSIS OF FLOW SYSTEMS Newton’s Laws and Conservation of Momentum 6-1C Newton’s first law states that “a body at rest remains at rest‚ and a body in motion remains in motion at the same velocity in a straight path when the net force acting on it is zero.” Therefore‚ a body tends to preserve its state or inertia. Newton’s second law states that “the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net force acting on it and is inversely
