What makes the concentration of oxygen low in the alveolus?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood capillary
What is the difference between hyponatremia and dehydration?
Dehydration is inadequate water in the body. It occurs when fluid losses from vomitting, diarrhea, urinating or "insensible losses" (through the breath and skin) exceed fluid intake. Hyponatremia means low sodium concentration in the blood. It can imply too little sodium in the body but more often is from an imbalance in the amount of sodium to water. This can be associated with dehydration if the sodium loss is greater than the water loss or from an increase in the total body water (often with increased total body sodium).
What are the causes of low sodium an?
hyponatremia. low amount of sodium in the blood, or too much water in the blood 1) vomiting or diarrhea 2) medications, such as antidepressants, diuretics, pain medications... 3) Drinking too much water 4) Urinating less frequently 5) hypothyroidism 6) cirrhosis (Liver failure)
What is low sirolimus?
"Low sirolimus" generally means that the sirolimus level in your blood is too low to be within therapeutic levels. This means that your dosage of sirolimus will probably be increased, so that your blood concentration of sirolimus falls within therapeutic levels.
How do glucose biosensors work?
-enzyme immobilised(in biosensor ) -H+ ions released (from gluconic acid) -give positive charge -current flows -size of current proportional to concentration of H+/glucose -low reading (when blood tested) indicates,hypoglycaemia/ low blood glucose concentration. -Or reverse arguments.

What causes too much water in your blood?
The cause of too much hydration in the blood is due to hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is a condition where the level of sodium (what regulates the amount of water in the blood) in your blood is too low. This is usually caused by another health condition, or by drinking too much water at one time.

What is hyponatremia?
HyponatremiaThe electrolyte disturbance hyponatremia exists in humans when the sodium concentration in the plasma falls below 135 mmol/L[1]. In simpler terms, hyponatremia means "low sodium".
How are chemicals exchanged between blood and cells?
diffusion: particles move from a high concentration to a low concentration

What is an explanation of what an diffusion means?
Diffusion refers to the process whereby the molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
What is apoxemia?
