I have learned from the computer analysis project that my intake in calcium is low, and my intake in sodium is high. My DRI reports showed me that I am receiving only 31% of the recommended daily value for calcium intake. An appropriate amount of calcium is 1300 mg, but I consumed only 409 mg. My DRI reports also showed me that I consumed above the recommended range for sodium. A deficiency of calcium has serious effects just as a toxicity of sodium does. After reviewing my reports, I learned that
LAB #4: ACTION POTENTIALS IN A GIANT ALGAL CELL Generating action potentials in a giant alga using mechanical stimulation, injury, or direct electrical stimulation Introduction The Chara coralline is a freshwater plant that lives in temperate zone ponds and lakes. The intermodal segment is a single large cell which uses cytoplasmic streaming to distribute organelles and nutrients throughout the cytoplasm which is surrounded by a large central vacuole. Recording action potentials with intracellular
Calcium and Potassium modifications are specialized individual according to a specific disease, age and inadequate amounts of calcium or potassium higher or lower than normal value. Calcium modifications are the results of to low or to high calcium levels. When calcium levels are to low compromises in bone integrity will occur. Adults 50 years of age and older are encouraged to increase calcium intake to help prevent osteoporosis. Patients with thyroid dysfunctions may experience low hormone levels
Post operatively, John was receiving intravenous fluid therapy to maintain the fluid balance in the body and in this essay the fluid therapy is using as the third intervention. Normal fluid and electrolyte homeostasis of the intracellular, extracellular, intravascular under precise control is necessary to allow efficient cellular and organ function (Marsh and Brown, 2012). Body fluid composition may change from minutes to hours, making it difficult to the wound healing process and affects the homeostasis
A diet with two grams of sodium and 1000mls of fluid a day is a diet with limited sodium and fluid intake. Sodium is a mineral found naturally in foods and is also added to foods. Sodium plays an important role in maintaining normal fluid balance in the body. A two-gram sodium diet limits high sodium foods. No table salt is allowed at meals or for cooking while you are on this diet. Even the amount of milk is limited due to the amount of sodium it contains. A high sodium diet can cause elevated blood
The issue over the right to collect salt fees in San Elizario, El Paso, led to a huge conflict between: two businessmen, a lawyer from Missouri, and a politician. W.W. Mills, Albert J. Fountain, and Louis Cardis struggled to get a title for the salt deposits near the Guadalupe Mountains. This utterly enraged the Mexican Americans, who initially had been collecting the salt for free, but now were faced with salt fees. Mexican Americans would use the collection of salt to use for preserving meat, seasoning
Fluid and electrolyte balances are extremely important for the body to maintain homeostasis. The body is continually exchanging fluids and particles within fluid compartments such as electrolytes through osmosis, diffusion, and filtration. Occasionally imbalances occur that the body is not able to fix on its own, and that is when the use of IV fluid therapy or discontinuation of IV fluid therapy is initiated. The fluid compartments include the extracellular fluid (ECF) and the Intracellular fluid
informs that body needs the nutrient of sodium and chloride that cannot produce in the body. Furthermore, Likeness believes that it is not the sodium amount that is important rather the sodium in the diet is the ratio of sodium to potassium (Likeness). As sodium potassium effects, fluid balance in the body. As a result, if there is too little sodium it will cause the body to retain water. Unbeknownst to me, I did not realize how important it is to get the right amount of sodium into my diet. Perhaps
foods, low fat foods and foods high in potassium and foods that are high in fiber. Sodium is an enemy to hypertension. By itself, a high sodium diet will usually elevate blood pressure readings. Foods that are high in potassium tend to neutralize or even lower levels of sodium. So, can we put this all together into a diet that will help lower blood pressure? Yes, we can, and in this article, we will do so. Just about any bean you can think of is high in potassium, and therefore good for lowering blood
Purpose To understand and observe the substances that can be identified by the flame color. To observe the colors produced by metallic ions when vaporized in a flame and to be able to identify unknown metallic ions by doing the flame test. Answers to Questions To identify the unknowns, the student could have looked at the flame using a direct vision spectroscope and then compare and observe the lines. Also, if the student had not cleaned the wire properly, then that would interfere with
