Roxann Milbourn Case study number 2 March 13‚ 2014 Badfish anatphys Neurotoxin 1. To present the doctor’s notes portion of the case with a description of the following terms or concepts: Diaphoresis- is the medical term for profuse sweating or perspiring. The skin’s sweat glands sweat to aid in fever management. When your body temp rises you autonomic nervous system causes you eccrine glands to secrete fluid onto the surface of the skin where it cools as it evaporates. Motor dysfunction_

selectively permeable membrane” (Lab Manual 2nd edition). It was hypothesized that osmosis will occur when there is an uneven distribution of solute in a solvent. The more abundant the solute is in solvent‚ the higher the rate of osmosis through the diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent with equal or no solute forms an isotonic solution. Throughout this lab‚ data was collected and compiled to analyze these effects across selectively permeable membranes. The results indicated

the cell membrane of the beetroot – concerning the proteins embedded in the phospholipid layer. The study will require the experiment of different temperatures of water and to find out which in temperature causes the most leakage of the pigment and why it does this. Introduction The study can contribute to biology as can tell us how the cell membrane structure works and the durability of the membrane. It can contribute to medical units to help us treat illnesses as the cell membrane is where

a network of electrical activities‚ they somehow have to be interconnected. When a nerve indicator‚ or impulse‚ reaches the ends of its axon‚ it has traveled as an action potential‚ or a pulse of electricity. However‚ there is no cellular continuity between one neuron and the next; there is a breach called synapse. The membranes of the sending and receiving cells are separated from each other by the fluid-filled synaptic gap. The signal cannot leap across the gap electrically‚ so special chemicals

Chapter 2- Darwin was the first to suggest how evolutionoccurs. Humans belong to the primate family known as hominins. Characteristics that evolved to perform one function but were co-opted to perform another function are called exaptations. Each group of three consecutive nucleotide bases along the strand of messenger RNA is called a codon‚ which instructs the ribosome to add amino acids to the protein being constructed. Subsequent to the nature-nuture issue‚ a second line of thought surrounding

The first lab will investigate the movement of glucose and starch across a selectively permeable membrane through a process of diffusion. The movement of a solute through this membrane is called dialysis . Diffusion is a form of passive transport. It is the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to those of lower concentration‚ until there is an even concentration. This movement is random because it is a result of kinetic energy. Diffusion is a slow process‚ but there are many factors

The tendency of the body to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. 3. What does the term “feedback system” refer to with respect to homeostasis? A cycle of events in which a variable‚ such as body temperature‚ is continually monitored‚ assessed‚ and adjusted. 4. List the three components
