, Describe how your body responds to an infection. T cells produce cytokines, which stimulate B cells. B cells produce antibodies.
Identify role of DNA changes in congenital abnormalities. Mutations in genes or chromosomal abnormalities
How does development disrupts congenital abnormalities? Alterations of DNA
Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how (ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause n/v or dysrhythmias.
disruptions affect wellbeing.
Explain RAAS Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to release renin
> produce angiotensin I > converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II > vasoconstriction
> release aldosterone > kidneys conserve sodium and water > Result less water
lost in urine and blood pressure maintained.
DKA increased anion gap, decreased HCO3
How do kidneys compensate for alkalosis retain H and excrete HCO3
Untreated acidosis leads to an increase in which Potassium
electrolyte?
