Excretion

mesoderm tissue. Roundworms have a digestive tract that consists of two openings, which are a mouth and an anus. Roundworms need to depend on diffusion, or the natural spreading of particles from a high to a low concentration, for their circulation, excretion, and respiration, as they also have no circulatory system like the flatworms. In roundworms, the fluid and muscles that are contained in the pseudocoelom operate as a hydrostatic skeleton, or an exoskeleton that maintains its form due to…

liver, gall bladder, pancreas, and intestines. After digesting its food and absorbing it’s needed nutrients, the excretion process takes over and removes unwanted wastes from the body so intoxication doesn't occur. The main organs in this system are kidneys, bladder, and the large intestine. The kidneys filter the blood and removes the wastes to the bladder which carries urine for excretion. The large intestine absorbs all the fluids from the unwanted food left over by the small intestines…

measure whether or not the prostate gland is tender or enlarged. Then, if the doctor remains unsure what you've got, a lot of tests could also be done, like a prostate fluid analysis for signs of infection, transrectal ultrasound, biopsy, or excretion studies. Excretion studies involve the gathering and analysis of urine to see that a part of the urinary system is infected. Treatment- Treatment depends on the type and causes of prostatitis. • Antibiotics – Your doctor prescribe medicine…

An increasing body of experimental evidence suggests that lung/kidney interactions are involved both in AKI-associated acute lung injury (ALI) and renal consequences of acute respiratory failure. Positive pressure ventilation, changes in PaCO2 and PaO2 levels along with systemic inflammation participate in the renal response to acute respiratory failure. Positive pressure ventilation may modify venous return, cardiac after-load and may decrease cardiac output along with decreased renal blood…

Pharmacodynamics: Ibuprofen is a NSAID with anti-inflammatory; analgesic and antipyretics effects are the results of the ability to block the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme system, leading to the inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins [6]. COX is the enzyme used for prostaglandin biosynthesis [3]. Both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes are involved with prostaglandin production. The inhibition of these enzymes results in decreased synthesis of prostaglandin thus decreasing pain, fever, and swelling…

dairy products). I decided on using peanut oil because peanuts yield an acid, thus they contain acid-ash. Acid-ash residue is inorganic radicals that form acid ions in the body, causing lower pH making the urine more acidic. Acid urine favors the excretion of kidney stones consisting of calcium and magnesium phosphates, carbonates, and oxalates. It also enhances the effect of some medications used for urinary tract infections. So it can boost the effects of something used against bacteria, but…

(Grossman, 2014). Mr. G is also suffering from hyperkalemia as his potassium level is 6.5. His hyperkalemia also results from decreased renal function as a result of his acute renal failure. Because his kidneys are not sufficiently functioning, excretion of potassium is impaired and it builds up in the body (Grossman,…

F214 Communication, Homeostasis and Energy Module 2 Excretion 4.2.1 Excretion a. Define the term excretion Excretion-The removal of metabolic waste from the body which are by products or unwanted substances from cell processes. b. Explain the importance of removing metabolic wastes, including carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste from the body Carbon dioxide Excess carbon dioxide is toxic and has three main effects: The majority of carbon dioxide is carried in the blood as…

product which is uric acid. This results in hyperurecemia and in the deposition of urate crystals in various tissues (Woo & Wynne, 2011, p. 869). Hyperuricemia can occur due three mechanisms: 1. Decreased excretion (underexcretors): Accounts for most cases and occurs when altered uric acid excretion results from decreased glomerular filtration (can contribute to the hyperurecemia of renal insufficiency), decreased tubular secretion (seen in patients…

rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and to induce miscarriage in women who have had ectopic pregnancies. Question 1: Pharmacokinetics describes how the body affects a certain type of drug after administration through absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion while travelling throughout the body. Absorption Absorption is defined as the movement of a drug through the bloodstream. Absorption of a drug is affected by the solubility of the drug and the route of administration; entral, parenteral…
