PHYSIO EX 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. The temperature of the solutions and the difference in concentration of the ion or molecule between the sides of the membrane 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Since the chemical formula for urea is (NH2)2CO and its molecular weight is about 60. It will not diffuse through the

PhysioEX notes Autorhythmicity- heart’s ability to trigger its own contractions Phase O- a lot like depolarization in neuronal action potentials. Sodium channels open‚ increase of sodium INTO cell. Phase 1- sodium channels close‚ potassium channels close‚ decrease in potassium and sodium. Calcium channels open‚ increase of calcium into cell. Phase 2- Plateau phase‚ membrane still depolarized (contract). Potassium channels closed‚ L-type calcium channels stay open. Lasts 0.2 seconds/200

Under these conditions‚ does the fluid flow through the nephron? >>No! No urine was collected which indicates no fluid flows through the nephron. 3. What is the glomerular filtration rate? >>The glomerular filtration rate is 0 which means the glomeruli are not carrying out any filtration task. 4. How does it compare to your baseline data‚ and why? >>The glomerular filtration rate in baseline data is 124.99 which indicate functional glomeruli. The data support

PHYSIOEX 9‚ ACTIVITY #3 Review Questions ACTIVITY #1 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out the neuron through the K+ leak channels? 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with your predictions? 3. Explain why a change in extracellular Na+ did not significantly alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron? 4. Discuss the relative permeability

Fischer Lab Time/Date: 7:00 PM/Wednesday Activity 1 Metabolism and Thyroid Hormone Part 1 1 Which rat had the fastest basal metabolic rate (BMR)? The normal rat had the faster basal metabolic rate‚ because it was not missing its pituitary gland or its thyroid gland. 2 Why did the metabolic rates differ between the normal rat and the surgically altered rats? How well did the results compare with your prediction

The QALMRI Method Explanation of writing a QALMRI The information you are trying to convey in writing your final project is the same as the information you are trying to extract from journal articles that you read. The QALMRI method highlights this important information as: What are the broad and specific questions?‚ what were the alternative hypotheses‚ what was the logic of the design‚ what was the method‚ what were the results‚ what inferences about the specific and broad question can be made

Danielle Rollins Cardiovascular Physiology Activity 1 1) Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. The ventricular contraction is when the blood is sent through the whole body as opposed to the atrial contraction that sends the blood to the heart and lungs. 2) Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation. (Hint: relate your response to the refractory period of the cardiac action
