TITLE Homeostasis –Urine Analysis OBJECTIVES 1) To know know the various urine components 2) To detect abnormal constituents 3) To get a brief introduction on clinical biochemistry INTRODUCTION Homeostasis mechanism of human body will regulate the osmotic pressure of the blood. This function is carried out by the kidneys‚ that will filter blood and produces urine through three stages: ultrafiltration‚ reabsorption and secretion. The end product of the process will produce urine

GI and Diabetes Exam Study Guide Tube Feeding – (enteral nutrition) refers to the administration of a nutritional balanced liquefied food or formula through a tube inserted into the stomach‚ duodenum‚ jejunum. It is used to provide nutrients via the GI tract either alone or as a supplement to oral or parenteral nutrition. - Nasogastric (NG) Tube – is most commonly used for short-term feeding problems. Other means of feeding are; esophagostomy‚ gastrostomy or jejunostomy. Transpyloric tube placement

Even though the disease systemic lupus erthematosus (SLE) doesn’t have a test that specifically diagnosis this diseases‚ there are test that are run to help with understand contributing factors. The significance of a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) titer is that 98% of people with systemic

Later on‚ it is added with 1.0 M HOAc to remove calcium anions present. Then‚ it is sent to the centrifuge. The precipitate collected is discarded because it contains contaminants which aren’t needed for the experiment. Also‚ according to Campbell‚ if the

Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability 1 EXERCISE 1 OBJECTIVES 1. To define the following terms: differential permeability‚ passive and active processes of transport‚ diffusion (simple diffusion‚ facilitated dif- fusion‚ and osmosis)‚ solute pump‚ pinocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. 2. To describe the processes that account for the movement of sub- stances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. 3. To determine which way substances will move passively

DENATURATION OF PROTEINS Abstract The experiment was done to be able to understand how various denaturants such as HCl and NaOH affects proteins. It was observed that different denaturants act upon or denature protein differently. This was determined using the principle of viscometry. An Ostwald viscometer was used to measure the viscosity of the prepared native‚ blank‚ denatured native and blank with denaturant solutions. The time required for the said solutions to pass through the viscometer

It will move down its concentration gradient meaning the molecules will eventually become evenly distributed throughout the environment. In this experiment NaCl‚ urea‚ albumin and glucose will be used to show how different substances move differently across the membrane. If a substance is not able to go across a membrane then the size of particles are to large to pass through‚ but other particles depending on size should
