WHAT IS GOUT? GOUT is a type of arthritis that result in the abnormality of the body’s ability to process uric acid that causes inflammation‚ usually in one joint‚ that begins suddenly. It’s one of the most frequently reference medical disorders in the history of mankind. Uric acid builds up either because of too much uric acid intake (from rich foods such as chocolate‚ seafood‚ or red wine) or the body’s inability to process it. The uric acid then crystalizes in the joints (articulation) – mainly

the information to the control center. The control center then receives the information from the sensor and compares it to the correct set value. It then signals the effector if necessary. The effector then takes necessary action to correct the imbalance based on the information the control center sends it. An example of negative feedback would be body temperature. The controlled variable is your core temperature‚ which is the temperature in the center of your body. The temperature sensors in your

reflexive behaviors that are elicited when certain stimuli are present. 2. Homeostatic Theories The assumptions of the homeostatic theory are that organisms attempt to maintain homeostasis‚ the balance of physiological state or equilibrium‚ by constantly adjusting themselves to the demands of the environment. It can be noted that every living thing has certain biological needs‚ sex‚ hunger‚ thirst‚ that is caused by imbalance because those variables are absent in the physical body. 3. Arousal Theory

I. Describe the role of the following hormones in the formation of urine‚ specifically explain the stimulus for their release‚ actions (decrease/increase GFR) and whether or not dilute/concentrated urine results): ADH (Vasopressin) – ADH has an antidiuretic action that prevents the production of dilute urine. Formation of urine = in the DCT and collecting ducts‚ water movement out of the body is regulated by ADH. Stimulus for their release = lowered blood pressure or low salt or water concentration
