B. Assuming Joseph’s heart has stopped‚ what cellular processes and membrane functions are going to be affected by loss of oxygen‚ blood glucose‚ and waste removal? Once the heart stops beating‚ blood‚ with oxygen and glucose‚ is not delivered to the body and ATP is not able to be produced. Without ATP production‚ cells are unable to function‚ oxygenation will not remain‚ blood glucose will not be controlled‚ and delivery of nutrients through the cell membrane and waste removal will cease‚ causing

metabolism is central to the production of nucleotides in the body. Imbalances in this process can lead to hyperuricemia which is abnormally high levels of uric acid in the blood [>360μmol/L in females and >400μmol/L in males]. Hyperuricemia can lead to uric acid crystals precipitating in the joints‚ skin‚ vessels and other tissues‚ this is a form of inflammatory arthritis known as gout. Uric acid is a metabolite of purine metabolism therefore gout can aptly be characterized as a disorder of purine metabolism

diseases occur in males much more frequently than in females. This is because sex influenced diseases occur from imbalances in testosterone‚ much more highly concentrated in males. Baldness and gout are two diseases that are a result of these hormonal imbalances. Baldness is defined as the lack or loss of hair. Permanent baldness strikes on a hereditary basis because the hormonal imbalances

INTROduction TO THE HUMAN BODY 1. Define anatomy and physiology While anatomy provides us with a static image of the body architecture‚ physiology reveals the body’s dynamic and animated workings. Physiology often focuses on events at the cellular or molecular level. A. Anatomy – studies the structure of the body parts and their relationship to one another. i. Developmental – concerns structural changes that in the body occur throughout the lifespan. Embryology studies the developmental changes

would not survive. The function of the left side of the heart is to take oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it out to and through the rest of the body. This is the systemic circulation of the heart. With every body system there are homeostatic imbalances and one for the cardiac system is heart failure. Heart failure on the left side can happen in two ways‚ systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure. A systolic heart failure is when the left ventricle cannot contract normally‚ which

Maintaining a normal body temperature is crucial for optimal health and is one important aspect of homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body’s ability to balance varying internal conditions within narrow limits despite a constantly changing outside environment (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2016). When a person is subjected to stimuli‚ which is a change in the variable‚ such as cold weather‚ temperature sensitive receptors in a person’s skin called thermoreceptors‚ detect this change. The receptors then respond providing

Hoehn 2007). Temperature‚ pH‚ blood pressure‚ water and electrolyte concentration and blood glucose levels are the most important physiological variables maintained by homeostatic mechanisms (Waugh and Grant 2010).). Homeostasis is regulated by the nervous and endocrine system and there are three mechanisms involved in homeostatic regulation; receptor is the first mechanism involved. The role of the receptor is to monitor the environment and respond to any changes. If there is a change the receptor
