Why it is important for intravenous fluids to be of the same solute concentration as human blood?
Using intravenous fluids that are isotonic to human blood helps prevent cell shrinkage or swelling, which could cause harm. It also helps maintain the balance of electrolytes in the body, preventing complications. Matching the solute concentration reduces the risk of disrupting the body's normal functioning.
What are the differences in the effects of a substance when it is present in high concentration versus low concentration?
In high concentrations, a substance can have stronger and more immediate effects on the body, potentially leading to toxicity or overdose. In low concentrations, the effects may be milder or more gradual, and may not reach harmful levels.
What is the definition to toxin?
A toxin is a harmful substance produced by living organisms that can cause harm or disease when introduced into a body. Toxins can come from various sources such as plants, animals, bacteria, or fungi and can have different effects on the body depending on their type and concentration.
Does osmosis mean correct balance stability of body fluids?
No; osmosis is a mechanism whereby something may be absorbed into something else by diffing across a membrane.I believe the word you are looking for is homeostasis.
How does osomosis occur in the human body?
In the human body, osmosis occurs when water moves across cell membranes from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. This movement of water helps maintain the balance of fluids in the body and ensures proper functioning of cells. Osmosis plays a crucial role in processes like nutrient absorption in the intestines and waste removal by the kidneys.
How does a common shore crab adjust the concentration of its body fluids?
Crabs like other crustacians are isotonic to marine environment ,also called osmoconformers, theydont adjust concentration of body fluids .
What are the functions of excretion to the body?
Infact there are the significance of excretion.Firstly is the removal of unwanted by-products of metabolic pathway, removal of toxic wastes, and also regulation of ionic concentration, water content of the body fluids and lastly regulation of pH.
Why glucose concentration decreases in all body fluids?
Glucose concentration decreases in body fluids when cells take up glucose for energy production, storage, or use in metabolic pathways. This uptake helps regulate blood glucose levels and maintain a balance in the body's energy supply. Additionally, insulin plays a key role in facilitating glucose uptake into cells, contributing to the decrease in glucose concentration in body fluids.
What suppresses adh production?
Low concentration of water in body fluids suppresses ADH.
What are marine animals that have body fluids with a solute concentration equal to that of the surrounding seawater?
Osmoconformers
Diffusion is important in body fluids because it tends to?
equalize concentration gradients, allowing for the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to low concentration. This process is crucial for maintaining proper balance of nutrients and waste products in body fluids, ensuring proper cell function.
What substance in the body fluids determines most of their chemical and physical reactions?
Electrolytes!
Definition of immune response?
the reaction of the cells and fluids of the body to the presence of a substance that is not recognized as a constituent of the body itself.
What substance in body fluids determines most of their chemical and physical reaction?
The concentration of hydrogen ions (pH) is a crucial factor that determines the chemical and physical reactions in body fluids. Maintaining a stable pH level is essential for various enzymatic reactions and overall physiological functioning.
How would you determine the best concentration of solutes to give a patient in need of fluids before you introduced the fluids into the patients body?
water or introduced oral intake
Own definition of immune response?
The reaction of the cells and fluids of the body to the presence of a substance that is not recognized as a constituent of the body itself.
The presence of which kind of molecules determines the concentration of other substance in the body?
Water
