Problem Set 1 1. Explain lipoprotein physiology and metabolism (Chapter 15). - Lipoproteins are a biochemical formation that aid with the transporting of lipids. The four major pathways include Lipid absorption pathway‚ exogenous pathway‚ endogenous pathway and reverse cholesterol transport pathway. All of these pathways are dependent on a particular particle know as apo-B that contains lipoproteins which‚ functions as a transport for dietary and Hepatic lipids to the outer layers of the cells

Physiology Assignment After many hours of research I found the animal I wanted to do this assignment with‚ unfortunately in all the research I went over there was not one image of the internal structures of this animal. The animal I chose was the camel the image I found closest to what was asked for in this assignment is located at http://www.dragoart.com/tuts/13244/1/1/how-to-draw-camels.htm‚ a terrible site for scientific information but it is a good image with labels. The camel is an amazing

The Urinary System is a group of organs in the body concerned with filtering out excess fluid and other substances from the bloodstream. The substances are filtered out from the body in the form of urine. Urine is a liquid produced by the kidneys‚ collected in the bladder and excreted through the urethra. Urine is used to extract excess minerals or vitamins as well as blood corpuscles from the body. The Urinary organs include the kidneys‚ ureters‚ bladder‚ and urethra. The Urinary system works with

Excretory system DEFINITION The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess‚ unnecessary materials from an organism‚ so as to help maintain homeostasis within the organism and prevent damage to the body. It is responsible for the elimination of the waste products of metabolism as well as other liquid and gaseous wastes‚ as urine and as a component of sweat and exhalation. As most healthy functioning organs produce metabolic and other wastes‚ the entire organism depends on

Buffer systems * prevent major changes in pH of body fluids by removing or releasing H+ * act quickly to prevent excessive changes in H+ concentration. Body’s major extracellular buffer system is “bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer system”. There are 20 parts of (HCO3) to one part of (H2CO3). ---- [20:1]. When the ratio is no longer maintained‚ it will result to acid-base imbalance. Carbon dioxide is a potential acid; when dissolved in water‚ it becomes carbonic acid. Lungs under the

Aseptic Technique and Culturing Microbes‚ Lab #3 Purpose: The purpose of the this experiment is to learn to transfer microorganisms to a nutrient medium to promote growth using aseptic techniques. which are a method used to prevent unwanted organisms from contaminating a medium. We will also learn about different types of culture media‚ including MRS broth and nutrient broth‚ learn about oxygen and temperature requirements for microbial growth and how to control microbial growth. Procedure:

Equipment Calibration is defined as the act of adjusting and evaluating the precision and accuracy of measured equipment. It allows the user to get an accurate and precise reading of measurements to its actual true value. However‚ in order for the experiment to be effective is must consist of validity‚ reliability‚ and objectivity. Validity is defined as the ability of a test to measure what it claims to measure. Reliability is the consistency of test results and objectivity is defined as a test
