of the right and left atrium. This produces a P wave on the EKG reading which is normally 0.1 second and its normal amplitude is 0.10-.012 mV. The AV node then causes a brief delayed of 0.1 second which allows the ventricles to relax and fill with blood. The AV node then transmits electrical signals from the atrium to the ventricles through the interventricular septum.…

pain still in his right hip, but also mentioned the pain could now be found in his left hip as well. His doctor decided to draw blood work and send for x-rays and made several realizations.

inhibits the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter (NKCC2) in the ascending thick loop of Henle by competing with the Cl- binding site(6). Since it prevents NaCl from moving into the blood at this site, water reabsorption is reduced in the collecting duct due to failure in generating an osmotic gradient of Na+ and Cl- concentration between surrounding blood vessel and the collecting duct(7). According to the graph (3) and (4), there is a great increase in Na+ and K+ excretion in people with furosemide.…
