point, the nephron loop’s membrane is permeable and since the interstitial fluid is hypertonic, some of the filtrate leaves the nephron loop and some of the solutes in the interstitial fluid cross the permeable membrane so that both fluids end up isotonic to each other. As the filtrate continues along, the ascending portion of the nephron loop is impermeable to water, so the majority of solutes are able to leave the ascending loop via diffusion into the surrounding medullary tissue instead of…

core to be hypertonic. At 0% salt concentration the potato gained the most weight and was the only hypotonic result. Also, at 0.9% there wasn’t much change from the initial weight to the final weight which led us to conclude that the solution was isotonic. While most of the data was hypertonic at 5% the potatoes gained the most weight. The biggest difference in mass was at 0% and 5% salt concentration. Table 1: Shows the change in Potato weight in the Salt concentration Salt Concentration…

IV. Discussion The Concentration Gradients is known as known as diffusion. They are spontaneous process because there is no energy input at the beginning (Reece et al., 2011). Each substance could diffuse to its own concentration gradient without affected by the concentration of other substances (Scott 2015).In the first experiment of the Concentration Gradients. The color of the clear water was expected to change into the color of the potassium permanganate dye, which was purple. Observation…

Electrolytes affect the amount of water in your body, the acidity of your blood (pH), your muscle function, and other important processes. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and others that are critical in allowing cells to generate energy, maintain the stability of their walls, and to function in general. They generate electricity, contract muscles, move water and fluids within the body, and participate in other activities.The concentration of electrolytes in the body is controlled by…

by the fact that water moves equally in and out the cell, the solution in the cell and outside the cell are the same and is said to be in equilibrium. There is no net gain or loss of water from the cells. The .9% Nacl solution outside the cell is isotonic to the sheep's blood cell. In the case where the cells were place in a 10% NaCl solution, the smooth disc like shape of the cell disappeared and displays a shrunken appearance. This can be explained by the fact the 10% Nacl solution is…

Five components of a well-rounded physical activity/exercise program are muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Each component has specific FITT principles: Frequency – how often?, Intensity – How hard of what level, Time (Duration), and Type. For cardiovascular endurance, the ACSM-FITT recommendations are: type – large muscle groups/rhythmic/continuous, intensity – 60-90% of maximum heart rate (MHR), time – 20-60 minutes for each bout…

they might sometimes cause anemia due to destruction of RBCs. DAT is mainly done on blood samples of newborns, especially when a newborn is suffering from jaundice. • Procedure: 1. Place the sample of RBCs to be tested in a 5 % suspension of isotonic saline. 2. Using a clean pipette, add 1 drop of the RBCs suspension prepared into a small test tube. 3. Wash 3 times using normal saline in order to remove all serum traces. After last washing step, decant completely. 4. Then add 2 drops of…

2) DKA usually occurs as a consequence of absolute or relative insulin deficiency that is accompanied by an increase in counter-regulatory hormones (ie, glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone, epinephrine). This type of hormonal imbalance enhances hepatic gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and lipolysis. Hepatic gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis secondary to insulin deficiency, and counter-regulatory hormone excess result in severe hyperglycemia, while lipolysis increases serum free fatty acids.…

strengthening exercise (isotonic and isometric quadriceps muscle training exercise) with any position including lying, sitting, or standing position. For example, to perform the isometric exercise, the participant lies with supine position on the plane surface, slowly contracts the thigh muscle along with dorsiflex the foot, slowly raises the foot 10 cm surface height and holds for 5 seconds (equivalent to count from 1 to 10) before slowly lowering the foot back to the surface. As for the…

The isotonic solution contains nonpenetrating electrolytes that essentially increases fluid in the ECF. The nonpenetrating electrolytes in the ECF help to increase and retain blood volume, thus bring the blood pressure back up to normal. If distilled water was…
