The kidneys serve the primary functions of regulating plasma volume, electrolyte balance, producing hormones, acid and base balance, removing waste, and retaining water to produce urine. These wastes come from the breakdown products of metabolically active muscle, and from food consumed. Your body utilizes what it needs, and the waste is sent into the urine. The body will regulate water volume within the body by helping the body retain water when plasma osmolarity decreases, as well as excrete water

Homes are currently being powered by electricity which is provided by companies. Can houses be powered only by solar panels? Powering a home by converting sunlight into usable energy to power the house and being off-grid. Electricity is usually made by burning coal, oil or gas and to use these resources a lot of money is being used (Bbc.co.uk, 2017). Approximately 173000000000000000 terawatts are given off by the sun which is 10 times more power than what people already use thus using the free energy

considered as one of the most important common neuromuscular disorders. Although it is categorized as a neuromuscular disease , there are few other factors other than acquired immunological abnormality , like genetic abnormality in neuromuscular junction , and some relations to thymus diseases and cancers. Myasthenia gravis presents clinically in a variety of ways, with varied symptoms that make it difficult to diagnose it in initial stages. As MG became the subject of interest to neurologists mostly

decussate form the ventral corticospinal tract. Axons from both tracts form synaptic connections with lower motor neurons both directly and indirectly (via interneurons). The skeletal muscles are supplied with these lower motor neurons at neuromuscular junctions, facilitating muscular contractions (Blackstone, O'Kane and Reid, 2010). HSPs are often caused by a length dependant distal axonopathy of corticospinal upper motor neurons with minimal neuronal cell death. A primary cause of HSPs are mutations in

As I read Beowulf I see a traditional man of strength and honor that believes in God. Beowulf’s strength as a worrier, allows him to bring honor to his family and his people, which is what is captivating in this poem. Beowulf is shown to be a light in the darkest of time for the people of the Danes. When Beowulf volunteers his life and his comrades lives to save the people from an evil monster named Grendel. Hrothgar the King of the Danes praises God for Beowulf’s pledge and seems to be a man of

During the course of student teaching I have had the opportunity to collaborate with my cooperating teacher and various teachers in Junction City High-School. The ability to collaborate with individuals is an essential tool for an educator. In addition, to collaboration schools need educators to be committed to their students. Teaching is not a career for you to just punch in and punch out. The students become your life and their success becomes your success. An example of this is, when the school

The majority of sympathetic paragangliomas arise outside of the skull base and neck anywhere along the sympathetic chain (8). About 75 percent arise in the abdomen, most often at the junction of the inferior vena cava and left renal vein and about 10 percent arise in the thorax (9, 10). They excrete excess amounts of catecholamine (86 percent in one series) (7), usually almost always

autumn the trail fills with awe struck walkers who wind their way through friendly Sherpa villages. The trek, starts at the upper Phakding and follows the Dudh Kosi valley which climbs up to the Sherpa capital of Namche, a bustling bazaar that’s a junction for trekkers, the local Sherpa, the Tibetan trader from Tibet and expeditions en route to the mighty Mt. Everest. All along this part of the trail, villages are interspersed

The Seljuk Turks have conquered the Holy Land. They have attacked Christina lands in Anatolia, a region of the Byzantine Empire. Travel routes for Christian pilgrims have been closed and the pilgrims are under attack. Early 11th Century The Byzantine Empire is still under attack from the Turks. Emperor Alexius I Comnenus has asked Pope Urban II for assistance as their rivals continue to attack. Pope Urban II calls for a retaking of the Holy Land from the "infidels" and the First Crusade has begun

Copstead and Banasik (2013) explain the pathophysiologic basis for dysphagia can fall under three categories: (1) “problems in delivery of the bolus of food or fluid into the esophagus as a result of neuromuscular incoordination”; (2) “problems in transport of the bolus down the body of the esophagus as a result of altered esophageal peristaltic activity”; (3) “problems in bolus entry into the stomach as a result of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) dysfunction or obstructing lesions” (p. 721).
