Scoliosis :Homeostatic Imbalance The spine is composed of bones called the vertebrae. The vertebrae purpose is to work with fibers to sort the spinal cord. The vertebrae are classified by main regions called the cervical‚ thoracic‚ lumbar‚ sacrum and coccyx. When there is an unusual disease affecting the spine by making an arch it is called scoliosis. Scoliosis is mainly now for its shaped S or C in the spinal column. Its twist and rotation‚have cause deformation in different parts of the section

Chapter 3 Homeostatic Imbalances 3.1 Definite changes occur in the glycocalyx of a cell that is becoming cancerous. In fact‚ a cancer cell’s glycocalyx may change almost continuously‚ allowing it to keep ahead of immune system recognition mechanisms and avoid destruction. (Cancer is discussed on pp. 145-146) 3.2 Selective permeability is a characteristics of healthy‚ intact cells. When a cell (or its plasma membrane) is severely damaged‚ the membrane becomes permeable to virtually everything

Homeostatic imbalances a person on dialysis might face GE 259 Mike Myers Instructor Dr. Loc Homeostasis enables the body’s system to function as expected because of proper temperature regulation. Dialysis is the process by which waste products are removed from the body by artificial ways by diffusion. The process of removal of waste products in a healthy person is facilitated by the kidneys. However‚ those individuals who suffer from kidney failure experience problems with waste

Stenosis means "closing in" or "choking". Spinal stenosis describes a condition in which the nerves in the spinal canal are closed in‚ or compressed. The spinal canal is the hollow vertical hole formed by the bones of the spinal column. Anything that causes this bony hole to shrink can squeeze the nerves inside. This narrowing can irritate the nerve roots that branch out from the spinal cord‚ or it can squeeze and irritate the spinal cord itself. This may cause pain‚ numbness‚ or weakness‚ most

If there is not enough produced then the disease diabetes is developed.
