Abstract: The importance of this computerized simulation study was to gain an understanding of the processes that account for the movement of substances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. This may also be applied to the study of transport mechanisms in living membrane-bounded cells. Also‚ understanding of which way substances will move passively through a deferentially permeable membrane depending on the concentration differences. We used PhysioEx software to

this create an evenly distributed movement which is best known as diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a lower concentration. METHODS Check the reaction of different compounds with the dialysis membranes and the deionized water in order to see if the compounds present diffusion and at what rate. RESULTS DISCUSSION 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. The composition of the layer because this varies in

P5- Explain dysfunction in relation to water balance and its possible treatments. M3- Discuss dysfunctions in relation to water balance and its possible treatments. For P5 and M3‚ I am going to explain the dysfunctions that relate to the balance between water intake and the disturbance of water output. Then I am going to discuss it in more detail. Oedema‚ also known as dropsy‚ is one of the dysfunctions and this is when there is too much fluid retention in the body. In other words‚ the accumulation

how to live with one day-to-day‚ and how to care for a PICC line. What is a PICC Line? A PICC line stands for Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (Treatments & Procedures‚ 2015). What this means is that a PICC line is tubing running into a vein that is in your arm. This tubing is called cannula; it is flexible‚ soft‚ small in diameter and thin. It may be uncomfortable when first inserted‚ but once it is in place‚ it should not be painful. That patient will just have to be careful with it to ensure
