system falls out of balance. In the worst cases‚ it fails completely.

Just by taking some basic steps‚ the body helped maintain

Overweight and obesity result from an energy imbalance. The body needs a certain amount of energy (calories) from food to keep up basic life functions. Body weight tends to remain the same when the number of calories eaten equals the number of calories the body uses or “burns.” Over time‚ when people eat and drink more calories than they burn‚ the energy balance tips toward weight gain‚ overweight‚ and obesity. Many factors can lead to energy imbalance and weight gain. They include genes‚ eating habits

Chapter 39 Diuretics Open-Book Quiz‚ Chapter 39 1. Three uses of diuretics include treatment of hypertension‚ mobilization of edematous fluid‚ and used to prevent renal failure. 2. Aldosterone is the principal mineralocorticoid of the adrenal cortex; it stimulates reabsorption of sodium from the distal cortex. 3. Most diuretics share the same basic mechanism of action: they block sodium and chloride reabsorption. The greatest diuresis is produced by those drugs whose site of action
