To maintain control of the water content inside the body the concentration of urine must be balanced, to make sure this is done the temperature of the body must be kept at a reasonable temperature because if the body is too hot then a lot of water will be lost through sweat. Water is lost from our body through the lungs when we exhale, our skin when we begin to sweat and the water that we loose through urination. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa_pre_2011/homeo/homeostasis1.shtml P6 – Within your report explain what each measurement means and also what the changes show. Throughout the activity we had to measure our Blood Pressure, Pulse Rate, Respiratory rate and temperature. Blood Pressure is the pressure at which blood is pushed through the vessels in your body and also how strong it is.
If the equipment hasn t then is should not be used as it is a danger to yourself and the client. It is to be reported straight away to the office and a report put in the care plan. A note can be attached to the equipment for the other carers as well. Describe ways to ensure the individual can summon help when alone during personal care. Some people like to wash themselves and if this is the case it is advisable to stay close to the bathroom in case they do need your help.
Rafael Guadamuz 41. How do ectothermic (cold-blooded) animals make use of water’s temperature-stabilizing effects? Explain the property of water that is responsible for this phenomenon. Warm blooded animals make their own heat, so as long as they are well fed, they can regulate their temperature well. Cold blooded animals don't do this (which is why they eat less and live longer), so their temperature could fluctuate with environmental changes.
I am now going to evaluate what types of equipment is essential to carry on with you for a day and overnight expedition. Outer jacket – the outer jacket is very important part of your equipment. It should be waterproofed to protect you from the elements water and wind. It will keep you warm and dry. By keeping you warm, the jacket protects you from hypothermia.
Lab 2: Physical Measurement & Properties: Essential Tools for Lab Report Objective: The purpose of this lab was to learn about and gain skills regarding the measuring of different substances. The objective of this lab was to study the properties of density, boiling point, and solubility in order to identify an unknown substance. Introduction: As nurses, we will encounter and number of tedious measurements that will affect a patient’s life. The preciseness, accuracy, and percent error of these measurements could make all the difference in the world to a person’s circumstances. These measurements include but are not limited to: mass of a patient in kilograms, blood pressure in mmHg, body temperature in degrees Celcius, respiration rate, and pulse-oximetry.
If the environment was hyperosmotic then an osmoregulator must intake water in order to survive (Campbell, 2008). When N. succinea are put into an environment not natural to their habitat, it can affect their cells in two ways which at extremes could cause the cells to shrink or swell up and burst. When a cell is placed in a hyperosmotic solution, it tends to shrivel up
All of the body's cells and tissues are used for homeostasis. The changes which occur in the outside environment are detected by receptors and when certain changes are detected the body initiates the appropriate response. A homeostatic response can either be a behavioural change or physiological changes. For example; when our body temperature decreases we put on extra clothes in order to become warmer and increases out temperature. This would be an example of a behavioural response to changes in the outside environment.
In order to combat the heat of the desert, humans will sweat, thus cooling off the body. At night, a human will shiver in order to contract their muscles to generate heat for the body. The human body will also undergo vasoconstriction and vasodilation of the blood vessels in order to maintain homeostasis. The vasoconstriction of the blood vessels when it is cold in the night, allows for the body to retain heat in the important parts of the body such as the organs. This physiological response is what allows the human body to keep a constant body temperature in the freezing nights of the desert.
The easiest way to treat dehydration is to simply drink lots of water, however this takes time and in extreme cases you would have to be treated with an IV. When being treated with an IV you receive fluids directly into your blood stream this allows your body to recover faster and more efficiently. You also need to keep your body from losing water during this rehabilitation process, which means you need to stop doing whatever activity caused you to become dehydrated in the first place while you receive treatment, usually in the shade if you are outside or in more severe cases a climate controlled environment like a
Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998’ Explain the main points of health and safety policies and procedures agreed with the employer The main Health and safety policies and procedures with my employer are that the employer will carry out risk assessments to make sure there are no health and safety issues in the work place to protect us and to have a duty of care to others, to provide a safe and healthy place to work, to keep temperatures at a safe level to protect staff and residents, to keep equipment safe, make sure the work places are well ventilated, to make sure we have windows that can open and close, and to protect people from falls etc. Analyse the main health and safety responsibilities of self: My main health and safety responsibilities in work would be to follow the training that I have been given, to co-operate on my manager’s health and safety rules and to take reasonable care of your own and other people’s health and safety. The employer or manager: The employer has a responsibility to follow the regulation which is known as the ‘Health and Safety at Work Act 1974’. This is
