Chapter 20, Problem 17RQ

a.

Summary Introduction

To sketch: The concept map of homeostatic reflexes in response to decreased blood volume and normal blood osmolarity.

Introduction: Homeostatic reflex is the automatic response to the stimulus. These reflexes maintain homeostasis. For example, heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure are maintained by the autonomic response of the stimulus.

b.

Summary Introduction

To sketch: The concept map of homeostatic reflexes in response to increased blood volume and increased blood osmolarity.

Introduction: Osmolarity of a solution is defined as the total number of active particles present per liter of the solution. The osmolarity of blood is the solute present in per liter plasma.

c.

Summary Introduction

To sketch: The concept map of homeostatic reflexes in response to normal blood volume and increased blood osmolarity.

Introduction: Blood volume is defined as the volume of blood present in the circulatory system of an individual. Blood volume consists of blood cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma.

Students have asked these similar questions
illustrate the general principle of physiology that information flow between cells, tissues, and organs is an essential feature of homeostasis and allows for the integration of physiological processes.
Background: You are working with a patient who has trouble getting rid of Potassium (K). Normally, the kidneys remove excess potassium from the extra cellular fluid, but in this case, kidney failure have impaired that function. Questions: Describewhat role potassium plays in healthy, normal excitable cells. First, describe what potassium does to create the resting membrane potential of muscle and nervous cells. Include specifics of how potassium contributes to an excitable cell’s resting membrane potential. Second, describe the role potassium would play during an action potential. Again, include specifics of how potassium plays its part during an action potential.
Please ASAP. Thank you. Inward Rectifier Kir Channels: Is this channel activated during depolarization? When does this channel show  higher conductance? When does this channel close? Is the inward or the outward flow of potassium greater?
