LABORATORY REPORT RENAL PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION: The kidneys‚ which maintain the purity and constancy of our internal fluids‚ are perfect examples of homeostatic organs. They regulate the chemical content the pH and osmotic pressure of the blood. Kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream. They then process this filtrate‚ allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions. Factors that affect urine

cardiac action potential differs significantly in different portions of the heart. The heart is provided with a special excitatory system and a contractile system necessary to perform this function. This differentiation of the action potentials allows the different electrical characteristics of the different portions of the heart. For instance‚ the specialized excitatory system of the heart has the special property of depolarizing without any external influence with a slow‚ positive increase in voltage

1.The human body has many system including the integument. The integumentary system is an organ system consisting of skin‚ hairs‚ nails and exocrine glands. The Skin as a largest organs in human body serves as protection and covering‚ composed of two region the epidermis and dermis. The most superficial and outer layer of skin is Epidermis that covers the entire body surface. The epidermis is avascular means that it has no blood supply also has four to five distinct layers: stratum basale‚ stratum
