Acid-base homeostasis

2005) Homeostasis can be referred to as the “maintenance of static or constant conditions in the internal environment.” (Guyton & Hall, 2000) Osteopathy and its principles, aim to regulate the bodies’ natural function including the use of osteopathic techniques to maintain the health and homeostasis of patients. Maintaining a constant internal body temperature is an example of such homeostasis occurring via negative feedback within the human body. Body fluid compartments and homeostasis The…

be done to determine how homeostasis can affect the body. Our bodies are forever changing to adjust to our environment. The past few weeks our group has been conducting an experiment on homeostasis and how it effects the body in different situations. Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to physiologically regulate its inner environment to ensure its stability in response to fluctuations in the outside environment and the weather; an inability to maintain homeostasis may lead to death or a…

Titration is used to determine the equivalence point of a reaction, or the point when the moles of acid are equal to the moles of base in a mixture. Titration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by using an already known solution. This process is important because it is commonly in the medical field. For example, pharmacists use titration in the creation of drugs. In addition, doctors also titration when determining the concentration necessary to give their patients of…

Retrieved January 31, 2017. The basic concept that is being explored are about enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that are known for being sparkplugs in a chemical reaction. Enzymes have a shape and for them to ‘spark’ they must have the proper substrate for it to work U. This does not change the enzyme’s…

Methods: To begin, our group acquired three premade vials of .1ml mammal blood with coagulant. We then labeled the vials numbers one, two, and three. In vial number one we added 1 ml of Stock 300 mM NaCl, and no distilled water. This resulted in a NaCl concentration of 1.8 percent. In the second vial we added .5 ml of Stock 300 mM of NaCl, and .5 ml of distilled water. This resulted in a NaCl concentration of .9 percent. In the third vial we did not add any Stock 300 mM of NaCl, and 1 ml…

A range of concentrations (1nM to 30μM) of acetylcholine (Ach) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was administered to organ bath containing rat ileum. Ach and 5-HT induced contractions from 3nM (Fig. 1) and 10nM (Fig. 2) onwards respectively, both generating a shallow slope at the beginning of the concentration-response curve. EC50 of Ach is 7.47 x 10-7M whereas EC50 of 5-HT is 7.97 x 10-7M. The contraction generated by Ach and 5-HT was expressed in % Emax. As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, % Emax…

organs has to be balanced in order for us to be maintaining a good health. If these organs are not in the homeostasis state which means to regulate the internal environment and to maintain a stabilization, diseases can occur at any time. One of the disorders that can be seen if the homeostasis fails to occur is the acid-base balance. For a person to be in a good health, the maintenance of acid and base should be balanced in the body which is an essential function of the body in the biological…

experiment is to determine the type of chemicals that are inside the mislabeled bottles. Materials: • pH strips • 8 bottles of known chemicals: o silver nitrate o iron (III) nitrate o copper (II) nitrate o sodium iodine o sodium hydroxide o nitric acid o lead (II) nitrate o sodium carbonate • 8 bottles of unlabeled chemicals the same contents as known chemicals • 1 well tray Procedure 1. Place 7-10 drops of each chemical (known and unknown) into separate wells in the well tray. 2. Observe…

We ran MgCl2 through various tests to see if its properties match our UWC. the first test was to compare the solubility of UWC and MgCl2. We added 1mL of distilled water to two different beakers each and gradually added 1g of MgCl2 and 1g of our UWC to each beaker. Approximately after 15 minutes, both solids dissolved in the water and MgCl2 passed this test. The second experiment was the halide test to determine if there are any Cl- ions in both solutions. We added 1 mL of 6M HNO3 and 1mL of…

Procedure: To begin this experiment all of the equipment was collected. The materials used in this experiment were a small plastic weighing dish, oxalic acid, a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask, distilled water, a buret, NaOH solution, a 150 mL beaker, funnel, and phenolphthalein indicator. Before the experiment began the buret was cleaned with distilled water, a buret brush, and dish soap. The buret was completely washed out in order to not cause any faults in the results of the experiment. Once the…
