Being the most abundant and important compound to life‚ living organisms would not exist without water. Within the human body the majority of biological reactions require water to take place. Although it is possible for human survival without nutrients for up to several weeks‚ without water humans would die in a matter of days. In the human body‚ water makes up 60-70% of adult body weight. At cellular level water makes up between 70-95% of the mass of a cell. The amount of water in the human body

complex is especially active in processing proteins for secretion. The Golgi releases a special enzyme called lysosomes‚ which clean off any extra amino acids‚ and once the package is ready‚ it is pinched off the Golgi and released into the cytoplasm. Once the Golgi apparatus membrane buds off and forms the transport vesicle for the molecules to move to the cell membrane it then fuses and releases its contents to the outside of the cell as a secretion. Secretory vesciles that originate in the ER not

altered during pregnancy (1‚ 2). Renin concentrations are elevated due to extra-renal secretion in decidua and ovaries through estrogen stimulation (2). An increase in angiotensinogen production in the liver is observed in pregnant women. By contrast‚ the angiotensin-converting enzyme is reduced. These changes result in an elevation in aldosterone and angiotensin II (ANGII) levels (3). Increased aldosterone secretion is also a physiological response to sodium loss in response to high progesterone concentrations

Digestive System Study Guide 1. Define the term digestion and explain its significance. The chemical and mechanical process of breaking down food and its absorption. Its essential to maintaining life. 2. Distinguish between mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. Chemical digestion is where complex food molecules are broken down to the basic building blocks by enzymes. Mechanical digestion is chewing‚ churning and segmentation. 3. Discuss the five digestive processes that overview the many functions
