Potassium is one of the body’s major ions. Nearly 98% of the body’s potassium is intracellular. The ratio of intracellular to extracellular potassium is important in determining the cellular membrane potential. Small changes in the extracellular potassium level can have profound effects on the function of the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems. The kidney determines potassium homeostasis‚ and excess potassium is excreted in the urine. The reference range for serum potassium level is 3

ventilation increases alveolar ventilation and thus decreases arterial pCO2 (the controlled variable). .ANSWER FOR QUESTION 2. O2 is carried in two forms in blood: dissolved and bound to haemoglobin. Dissolved O2 alone is inadequate to meet the metabolic demands of the tissues; so therefore a second form of O2‚ combined with haemoglobin‚ is needed. Oxygen is transported around the body in blood by the complex molecule haemoglobin which is a globular protein possess a central iron atom. When haemoglobin

Bio 104-03 Lab #3- Acids Bases‚ and Buffers 1. An acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions as they desolve in water and ranks lower than seven on the pH scale. An example of an acidic substance is lemon juice. A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions and ranks higher than seven on the pH scale. An example of a base substance is hand soap. A neutral substance ranks a seven on the pH scale and has equal concentrations of H+ and OH-. An example of this is pure water. Electrolytes
