Recommended: Starling forces

Starlings forces are the farces that control fluid filtration across the capillaries in the human body and can be described by the equation Jvol = Kf [(Pcap – Pint) – (cap – int)]. Starling’s forces are comprised of two major forces, the Hydrostatic force, or force generated by the fluid in the capillary or interstitial space, or the oncotic force, the force generated by proteins in the interstitial fluid or capillary. Forces that favor the filtration of fluids across the capillary membrane are Pcap, the force of fluids to move out of the capillary into interstitial space, and int, the force of fluids moving out of the interstitial space and into the capillary. Forces that oppose filtration across the capillary membrane are Pint, the force …show more content…

Normal albumin concentration in the body ranges from 3.5-4.5g/dL, equaling a total body content of 300-500g of albumin, anything less than that is considered Hypoalbuminemic. Hypoalbuminemia can be caused by hepatic cirrhosis, or liver cirrhosis, resulting in a reduced synthesis of albumin because of healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue. Since there is a low concentration of albumin and other proteins in the capillary, the starling’s forces of that capillary are disrupted. cap, the pressure in the capillary due to protein concentration, would be reduced because of the decreased amount of albumin in the capillary compared to the concentration in the interstitial fluid. Since there is a difference in protein concentration between the interstitial fluid and the capillary, Pcap would increase, causing increased fluid flow across the capillary membrane into the interstitial space to increase, leading to fluid accumulation and …show more content…

Prolonged lymphatic obstruction can lead to Lymphedema, which is fluid accumulation and swelling in the tissues caused by the obstruction of vessels. Lymphatic obstruction could either be genetically inherited, in which lymph vessels are formed incorrectly resulting in dysfunction, or outside sources such as cancer or sugary which causes the removal or disruption of the vessels. This causes a disruption in the starling’s forces because fluid can be taken out of the capillary into the interstitial space, but it cannot reenter the capillary due to the blockage of the lymphatic

Velocity was calculated by finding the change in position of the indicators between each frame and multiplying by the frame rate (30 fps) and maximum instantaneous velocity was paired with the weight applied to fit to the Hill equation. Guesses for F0, a, and b were taken from the isometric experiment and literature values.6 RESULTS Figure 3: Length-Tension behavior of the gastrocnemius of a Rana pipiens compared to expected data from peer-reviewed literature. The gastrocnemius of a Rana pipiens (n=1) was stimulated in situ isometrically. Experimentally measured tensions (red squares) were plotted with literature values (green circles). Tensions at corresponding normalized lengths were compared between literature and measured values and were comparing using piecewise linear regression in groups of three yielding an overall r2isometric = 0.956033 between measured values and expected results from

The investigation was carried out to identify the presence or absence of biological molecules in serum 2216. If the concentration in each test tube of the dilutions carried out will be more concentrated then the concentration of the test tube before it, then the color will be at an equal concentration with the other dilutions performed. The hypothesis was wrong because of the difference in concentrations due to the different measurements within the dilutions done. The test for starch was to add a drop of iodine solution to the pipette in the spotting tile. A reducing sugar solutions is add inside a test tube with 3 drops to then add 3 drops of benedicts and plane in a water bath.

I.V. fluids such as normal saline are utilized to increase volume and aid in the prevention of acute kidney injury. These I.V. fluids are initiated as soon as possible and are continued until the creatinine kinase level drops below 1,000 U/L. Diuretics such as Lasix are sometimes administered to promote the excretion of fluid. Bed rest is typically ordered for patients with rhabdomyolysis. In some cases, if compartment pressure exceeds 25 mm Hg, a fasciotomy and debridement may be

Porter five forces analysis is a framework to analyze the level of competition within an industry and business (Wikipedia). Taking Talladega College for example as an industry. The five forces are as followed: buyers the current students, suppliers the alumni and investors, new entries the community college CACC, substitute the online classes and the fast track, and competition the PWI’s and other HBCU’s. The current students are the buyers because they are paying to attend Talladega College, parents are paying out of pocket while others use financial aid and scholarship and loans. Without the students, the college wouldn’t be able to provide the service of a higher education in return for revenue, Talladega College main objective is to provide higher education for future leaders.

In Bryan E. Penprase’s chapter one of The Power of Stars, Penprase talks about many features of the sky that we admire every day. The general theme of this chapter in my opinion is the relevance astronomy has in our everyday lives, and how it’s been that way since the ancient times. Each culture has their own interpretation of what the sky means whether it come to festival planning, farming, harvesting, and even religious means. The ancient Indians had their lives planned around the alignment of the stars.

“The Space Between Stars” was written by Geeta Kothari. The short story is about an Indian Girl named Maya who immigrated to America at a young age. The story shows what she went threw growing up as a female immigrant and all the situations he had to overcome. Through out the story I learned that there are women who struggle to show how they feel and how brave and compassionate a woman can be. I already had a great appreciation for women because my mother raise me on her own for the first two years of my life.

Hypothesis- If an egg is placed in water or sucrose, then the egg will become hypotonic compared to the water. Since there is a higher concentration of solute inside the egg than outside of it, the water will try to form an equilibrium with the egg and outside water. With the sucrose egg, water will move out of the egg because the sucrose has more solute than the egg, making the egg hypotonic to the sucrose. Background-This experiment involves the process of osmosis.

1. As I engaged in watching the video "Young, Black and Male in New Orleans” several social issues was addressed. First, one of the issues is the significant gap in poverty among minorities and whites, specifically African Americans. African American is two to three times more likely to be poor then white children. Furthermore, black children are more than seven times more likely to spend more than half of their childhood years in poverty.

The following analysis is a comparison between data of Denmark and data of OECD countries. So we can get a brief view of what the situation is in Denmark, because OECD countries data are more accessible than that of Denmark. OECD data show that “the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is 19,481 euro per annum”, more than the average income of OECD countries (18526 euro). Even though Denmark enjoys the world’s least unequal in income level, there is still a big wealth gap. To be more specific, OECD explains that “the top 20 percent of the Danes make around four times as much as the bottom 20 percent”, and on average in OECD countries, the estimated “income of the top 20% of the population is 35,303 euro per year”.
