Jessica L. Gillette December 7‚ 2010 Bio 100 Dr. Valentine Homeostasis and Sleep According to Krogh (2009)‚ homeostasis is the maintenence of a relatively normal internal environment. This means that the body has many systems in place to regulate what happens in our bodies to keep it functioning properly. There are very few functions that we have control over in the homeostatic processes ’ of our bodies. Sleep is one of them. Sleep is very important to the regulation of the body ’s functions

Analyzing electrolytes I. Introduction Ionic substances form when a metal reacts with a non-metal. They contain charged particles called ions. Those ionic substances are broken down by electrolysis. Electrolysis is the breakdown of a substance by electricity‚ and it only happens in liquids. The liquids that can be electrolyzed are called electrolytes. When said electrolyzed‚ means that the compounds in solutions are broken down when they conduct electricity. Its necessary the use of electrodes

ADULT ELECTROLYTE REPLACEMENT PROTOCOLS Standing electrolyte replacement protocols are available for use in adult patients admitted to King Khaled Hospital. Najran‚ Saudi Arabia. The protocols are listed below. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: • Intravenous infusions of electrolytes must be administered with free-flow protected infusion devices (i.e. infusion pump). • Patients must meet the following criteria prior to initiation of the Potassium‚ Magnesium‚ or Phosphorus protocols: o SCr < 2 mg/dL

Electrolyte Challenge Sport Drinks vs. Orange Juice By: Clem L. Vinegar Jr. Mr. Wells February 2‚ 2013 I. Project Question- The question I am trying to answer is which drink between water‚ Gatorade‚ propel‚ PowerAde‚ and a homemade drink. II. Hypothesis- My hypothesis is that orange juice will have more electrolytes than the other drinks because of the natural electrolytes it contains from oranges. I also think that Gatorade will be the most preferred

interstitial fluid‚ and intracellular fluid are identical‚ but the quantity of each substance varies among the compartments. The most striking differences are the low protein content in interstitial fluid compared with intracellular fluid and plasma and the fact that sodium and chloride ions are largely extracellular‚ whereas most of the potassium ions (approximately 90%) are intracellular. This unequal distribution of ions results in a voltage difference across cell membranes. Extracellular fluid can be

the PH level of acids in our stomach affect the digestion proteins? Yes‚ if the acidity in my/a stomach is high in terms of the PH balance then the proteins in our stomach will be digested faster because acids are known to breakdown and eat away at many objects. The purpose of this project was to observe how the digestion of protein varies at different pH levels. This project in my eyes helps society by finding the best types of food (i.e. ones with higher/ lower acidity and pH balance) to

Nucleus; the nucleus is the control centre of the whole cell. The nucleus of living cells contains genetic material that determines the structure and function of the cell it’s controlling. Nucleolus; the nucleolus is in the nucleus where rRNA genes exist and are transcribed. The resulting rRNAs and ribosomal proteins are combined to form the ribosomal subunits. The

Brayden Shaver Electrolytes in Sports Drinks September 30‚ 2016 Electrolytes in Sports Drinks Drinks are full of many substances that make up the taste‚ color‚ and uses of the beverages. One very important part of a sports drink are electrolytes. An electrolyte is a liquid gel that contains ions and can be decomposed by electrolysis‚ it is present in a battery. This substance is in many of the everyday drinks we use. From the orange juice we drink in the morning to the many sports drinks
