structures indicated by a leader line, number, or bracket. In the threaded Discussion Area below, briefly describe the function of: Figure 40.7 proximal convoluted tubule The PCT functions include the reabsorption of: water, sodium, glucose, fraction of bicarbonate, phosphates, calcium, potassium and other ions. However, the secretion of ammonium and hydrogen occurs within the tubules (NCBI, 2016). Figure 40.7 distal convoluted tubule The DCT is important including: varies ways of assisting…

Heartburn is a common ailment across the globe that is unpleasant, and, if it is not treated, could potentially have severe negative effects on the body. The stomach is filled with a highly acidic fluid that assists in the breakdown of foods. The stomach is able to contain this acid because it has a special lining preventing the tissue from being burned by the low pH. The esophagus, a tube that connects the throat to the stomach, does not have that lining, and therefore is in danger of being…

Ringers Lactate 1000ml via a 10 d/min administration set with a 14 gauge Jelco cannula over needle for a fluid challenge at about 20ml/kg was initiated to increase volume to get the BP up to 90mmHg and sustain it. I administered 1ml/kg of sodium bicarbonate 8.5 % prophylactically in order to be prepared for the circulatory collapse that might follow after rapid extrication of this…

There are three primary functions of the kidneys: Manage blood pressure Produce hormones and red blood cells Remove waste from blood Kidney disease for cats can be a result of a poor diet, genetics, bacterial infection, poisons and/or old age. This paper will provide nutritional guidelines in cases where age, diet or genetics generates chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a cat. While chronic kidney disease cannot be reversed and progresses with time, a diet modified for cats with CKD can help…

dioxide from the body, it is transported within the blood to the lungs to be exhaled in three manners; carried physically while dissolved in blood; chemically through being combined with blood proteins as carbamino compounds; and chemically as bicarbonate. Roughly 7% of carbon dioxide within the body is dissolved directly into the blood plasma. Another 70% is converted into the bicarnonate ion. The mechanism for this reaction is: CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO3-. The remaning 23% is then bound to…

Readers’ Delight Students’ Reading Material 1. Fuel • Introduction to Fuel A fuel is a substance that has energy stored inside it. So, a substance that produces useful energy when it undergoes a chemical reaction is called as a fuel. Upon burning a fuel, a large amount of energy is released as heat. Fuels are used for various purposes such as cooking food, running vehicles, generating electricity etc. Coal, wood, petrol, diesel etc. are some common fuels. Thus, a fuel can be defined as a…

shell-forming organisms. Clams, oysters, mussels, and corals are among those affected. When the carbon dioxide binds with water molecules to create carbonic acid, the hydrogen ions broken down from carbonic acid bond with carbonate ions to form more bicarbonate. Unfortunately, shell possessing organisms also rely on carbonate ions to create calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is the building block these organisms use to build their shells. This results in weaker shells of shell possessing…

What is Ethanol Poisoning in Cats? Ethanol poisoning occurs in cats when they ingest a substance that is either an alcoholic beverage or something that produces ethanol inside the body after ingestion such as uncooked pizza or bread dough. If you think your cat has ingested ethanol, it is important to visit a veterinarian as soon as possible, because if treated early there is a good chance the cat will recover. Symptoms of Ethanol Poisoning in Cats Ethanol poisoning may cause depression of…

Have you ever heard about alkaline water? Do you really know what it is? When it comes to alkaline water, you should know this water is slightly basic. It has basic minerals, including magnesium, calcium and bicarbonate. All these compounds will bind to hydrogen ions in solution, making the water more basic. Moreover, this type of water refers to its pH level, which is a number that measures how alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0-14. For example, if something will have a pH level of 1, it…

Variables Likely impact upon the investigation How the variable will be changed/measured/controlled Independent variable Mass of Baking Soda (grams) Changing the mass of baking soda will impact the volume of gas is produced. The higher the mass, the more gas will be produced, and vice-versa. This will happen as the results of the decomposition of baking soda will be directly proportional to the mass of the baking soda. The independent variable will be altered by changing the amount of baking…
