Treatment includes restoration of the blood volume to normal‚ restricted fluid intake‚ and dialysis. • Scenario B: Chronic renal failure.

Unit 3: Promoting good health AO1-Section D (This paper got the full 3 marks) Quality of life is how satisfied we are with our lives and whether there are parts of our health that affect this or inhibit this. For example if there was a lack of money in a family due to little financial support then their quality of life would not be good. This is because they would not be able to afford the necessities of life and other recreational activities. The job of a kidney is to filter the blood and

These various tests‚ or combinations of tests‚ helps guide health care teams in the proper treatment of CHF. Medical treatment of Congestive Heart Failure includes but is not limited to: improving the heart’s function; removal of fluid in the peritoneal and thoracic cavities; decreasing cardiac demands; increasing tissue perfusion; and treating anaphylaxis.

gradient. The energy source ATP is used during this process to move the particles across the cell membrane. This experiment takes place to measure the diffusion of small molecules through dialysis tubing. 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. When the two solutions on either sides of the membrane are equal and no net movement is detected‚ the solutions

We then placed the tube in a cup full of starch solution and let it sit for 24 hours. 24 hours later‚ we noticed a very small amount of black blue in our starch solution‚ and no black blue in our dialysis tube. We also noted that the cell appeared smaller. We then dried the tube off and weighed it‚ the weight was 30 grams. Overnight‚ our tube had lost 2 grams of mass. Because there was no black blue inside‚ we can confirm that no starch entered
