system I chose regarding immobility was the urinary system. In an immobile patient there are four main hazards with the urinary system: calculi‚ retention‚ incontinence and infection. Immobility also predisposes the patient to renal calculi‚ or kidney stones. Calcium is released from bone demineralization‚ due to this and urinary stasis or immobility‚ the precipitation of calcium occurs forming calculi or stones. Renal calculi are also a consequence of urinary retention and incontinence resulting

This experiment was performed to measure the osmosis of small molecules through cellulose bag (has the same structure that plant cell does). This tubing acts as a selectively permeable membrane‚ allowing larger molecules to pass through‚ but slowly. Dialysis is the movement of a solute through a selectively permeable membrane. Purpose: To observe osmosis in a model membrane system. Hypothesis: If I immerse in the beaker containing water one bag with distilled water and one bag with 40% maltose
