current view is that this mechanism insulates renal excretory function from fluctuations in BP. Indeed‚ the concept that renal autoregulation is necessary for normal renal function and volume homeostasis has long been a cornerstone of renal physiology. This article presents a very different view‚ at least regarding the myogenic component of this response. We suggest that its primary purpose is to protect the kidney against the damaging effects of hypertension. The arguments advanced take

this test they assess 3 things to see the efficacy of the lung; 1- Lungs’ surface area with contact diffusing alveoli which is "alveolar volume". 2- Thickness of alveolar-capillary membrane. 3- blood volume available in the pulmonary capillaries. Physiology: In normal lung the gas exchange occur by passive diffusion of the gas via the alveolar-capillary membrane following Fick’s law of diffusion which is : D = (∆P x A x S ) ÷ (√MW x T) ∆P = the pressure gradient of partial pressure of CO in the

Anatomy‚ physiology‚ and injury treatment and prevention are all very important when dealing with sport and entertainment. Specifically‚ in the art of ballet. It is important to know your body and how it works. This will help you learn how to move it in a certain way to achieve a skill. It is also important to know how to treat injuries when they do occur and ways to possibly prevent them in the future. Many ballet dancers are given anatomy lessons to help them better understand how to move and

The sprint activity can be influenced by many anatomical‚ physiological‚ and morphological factors. These factors will be explained in this paper to identify the normal and abnormal status which may affect the sprint performance when analyzing the sprinting activity: • Stride length: Optimal sprint stride length can be achieved when the sprint is performed in proper technique. Stride length is defined as the distance covered with each stride and is improved by increasing the amount of force applied
