What is a part of a body part of the ability to do work?
The Brain dos all the work by telling the body to move and work
What principle of design make one part of a Work dominant over other parts?
emphasis
What are example of constructive feedback?
"This part of what you did is great, but that part could be improved . . ." "What you did will work, but you might want to try . . ." "I don't think what you propose will work unless you . . ."
What part of the body does a dematologist work with?
Dermatologists work with top layer of the entire body - the skin.
How is scientific method applied in business organization?
If this is the situation: 1. make a statement of where the business is to do or go.(hypothesis). 2. make lists of all the parts 3. start with the first part, see if it is possible 4. second part, will it work alone, see if it will work with the first, if not make changes until it does 5. third part, will it work alone, see if it will work with first and second, if not make changes 6. and on to the next part, and so on, until all work together.
What would be a reasonable mechanism for diuretics?
Loop diuretics work by restraining the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter. Thiazide diuretics restrain the sodium-chloride transporter. Carbonic anhydrase inhibiting diuretics work by restraining bicarbonate transport.
How do thiazide diuretics work?
drugs in this class appear to lower blood pressure through several mechanisms. By promoting sodium loss they lower blood volume.
Do channel blockers have any effect on kidney stone formers?
It depends on the channel/transporter being blocked. For example, it's well established that a type of diuretic called a loop diuretic (eg, furosemide) causes hypercalciuria, a fancy term for excess calcium in the urine. Loop diuretics work by blocking a sodium-potassium-chloride transporter in the kidney, and indirectly result in decreased calcium reabsorption from the urine. Because most kidney stones are made of calcium, the excess urinary calcium caused by loop diuretics can predispose people to kidney stones. By contrast, thiazide diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide) commonly used to treat high blood pressure often cause hypocalciuria, which is decreased urinary calcium. Thiazides work by blocking a sodium-chloride transporter in the kidney, indirectly causing increased calcium reabsorption so less ends up in the urine. So thiazide is a reasonable medication to use for treating high blood pressure in patients prone to kidney stones. Thiazide and loop diuretics aren't technically "channel blockers", but I'm assuming you're using the term loosely. Perhaps I'm wrong though.
How does the dialysis machine resemble with nephron?
The dialysis machine is time - consuming while the properly funtioning nephron can get work done quickly
Does diuretics work on the collecting ducts?
Diuretics work in the region of the collecting ducts, but on the ducts themselves. They inhibit ADH from causing water to be reabsorbed in the distal tubules and that produces more urine output.
Is a nephron a molecule?
A Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It's not a molecule, more likely a small portion of the kidney that helps the kidney work.
Why diuretics contraindicated in sever renal failure?
ALL diuretics are renal poisons, (some worse than others, I admit) and in failure your kidneys are already in enough trouble.from Japonesitaloca:I disagree. Way too general of a statement.Diuretics: actually diuretics are commonly used in chronic renal failure and are effective. High doses of furosemide (LASIX) areoften given with good results (doses have to be high cuz renal failure makes the kidneys less responsive to it)...if effects areinsufficient with LASIX, we often give another thiazide type diuretic metolazone (ZAROXYLYN) 30 min. before the lasix toincrease the effects--the 2 drugs together are a lot more effective.In acute renal failure, it has been shown the diuretics have had negative effects (increased mortality, non-recovery of kidneys, increased hospital days)-but the attraction in diuretics in ARF lies in the excretion of sodium and water
What ion cation do most diuretics work by blocking the renal reabsorption?
Potassium
How do diuretics work?
It reduces the blood volume through greater excretion of water by the kidneys.
Is osmotic a diuretic?
Osmotic diuretics are a type of diuretic not a specific drug. Osmotic diuretics work by increasing blood flow to the kidneys and preventing the tubes in the kidneys from making such concentrated urine so that there is no gradient for water to be reabsorbed so you will pee all that water out. An example of an osmotic diuretic is mannitol.
How do Diuretics increase production of urine?
Not all diuretics work the same. The class of diuretics and how they work are:High ceiling loop diureticsHigh ceiling diuretics, such as Loop diuretics, inhibit the body's ability to reabsorb sodium (salt). Furosemide is an example of this type of diuretic.ThiazidesThis type of diuretic includes hydrochlorothiazide. They enhance excretion of sodium, potassium, calcium and chlorine ions, which leads to water retention in the urine.Carbonic anhydrase inhibitorsThis class of diuretics inhibit the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which is found in the proximal convoluted tubule. This results in bicarbonate and potassium retention in urine and decreased sodium absorption. Acetazolamide and methazolamide are in this class.Potassium-sparing diureticsThese do not promote the secretion of potassium into the urine, so not as much potassium is lost as in other diuretics.Calcium-sparing diureticsCalcium-sparing diuretics result in a relatively low rate of excretion of calcium.The sparing effect on calcium can be beneficial in hypocalcemia, or unwanted in hypercalcemia. The thiazides and potassium-sparing diuretics are considered to be calcium-sparing diuretics. Conversely, loop diuretics promote a significant increase calcium excretion, which can increase risk of reduced bone density.Osmotic diureticsOsmotic diuretics cause water to be retained within the proximal tubule and descending limb of loop of Henle.Low ceiling diureticsThe term "low ceiling diuretic" is used to indicate a diuretic has a rapidly flattening dose effect curve (in contrast to "high ceiling", where the relationship is close to linear).Please see the Related Link for more information.There are also foods that can act as diuretics.

Is there a treatment for hypertension?
It's typically treated via lifestyle changes. If those don't work, it can be treated with medicine like thiazide-diuretics, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers. More than one kind of medicine is often used. In some cases, more exercise can help the situation.
