features that can be used to classify the particular type of leukemia (Caldwell‚ 2007). Leukemia can be fatal if left untreated because of the inhibited ability to produce and provide normal red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ and plates to maintain homeostatic mechanisms. There are several modifying risk factors for leukemia including: exposure to high energy radiation‚ exposure to benzene and certain other chemicals‚ exposure to herbicides and/or pesticides‚ drugs that cause bone marrow depression

salt is added‚ often in large amounts‚ in food processing and by cooks to enhance flavor. Sodium is the predominant ion in extra cellular fluid. Sodium (Na) is the predominant cation in extra cellular fluid and its concentration is under tight homeostatic control. Excess dietary sodium is excreted in the urine. The kidney very efficiently reabsorbs the mineral when intakes are low or losses are excessive. Sodium consort with potassium‚ the chief cation of intracellular fluid‚ to maintain proper body

The body and its systems work together to keep itself in the state of balance‚ but it mostly refers to how the human body reacts to different changes and keep itself within certain guidelines to insure that it can properly function. These reactions include a range of responses‚ from the release of hormones to regulate internal balances to sweating to lower body temperature
