Urine: Urine is excreted from the body as a liquid by-product of metabolism in living organisms. It is excreted from the body through the urethra. Metabolism refers to the essential chemical reactions for living
Why is urine generally acidic? How does this acidic urine relate to blood pH? Explain. Why is Ca2+ more important than Mg2+ in biological processes? Why is it important for organisms to maintain a pH within a very narrow range and what type of a compound (molecule) is used to help mai...
Aims Excessively acidic urine is the dominant factor in uric acid stone formation. Recent evidence implicating insulin resistance has revived interest in its causation. We reviewed data on uric acid stone formers attending a general stones clinic to find out whether this supports and adds to ...
DNA Mutations: A Hidden Driver of Aging? Every day of our lives, tiny changes, called genetic mutations, quietly appear in the DNA of our cells. These changes are a natural part of life and have long been linked to the aging process. But what if the speed at which these mutations pile...
are absorbency, clumping power, and fragrance. The faster a litter absorbs urine and the harder the resulting clumps, the better the odor control. Added fragrance or natural ingredients that affect pH such as baking soda can also help neutralize and offset the acrid and acidic smell of cat ...
Hypercapnia: Elevated carbon dioxide level in the blood, lowering the pH and making the blood acidic (respiratory acidosis). Hypoxemia: Low level of oxygen in the blood leading to inadequate oxygen supply to the tissues. Along with assisted ventilation, anemicbabies may also require administration ...
Studieshave shown that a high intake of baking soda can lead to kidney damage and even renal failure. One major concern is the formation of kidney stones, as baking soda can increase the risk by altering urine composition. Additionally, consuming too much baking soda can disrupt normal kidney ...
Most aluminum in food, water, and medicines leaves your body quickly in the feces. Much of the small amount of aluminum that does enter the bloodstream will quickly leave your body in the urine. Advertisement: NJ Labs declined to comment further on the results of their testing. A spokesperson...
The pituitary gland, tucked securely at the base of the brain, is the starting point. One of its functions is to secrete vasopressin, an antidiuretic hormone. When alcohol enters the bloodstream, it inhibits the secretion of vasopressin.This leads to a reduced ability to concentrate urine, resul...
Why is water a good solvent and what determines how acidic a substance actually is? What are some consequences of not leaving a stain on a smear long enough? Why is urea always found in urine? What are some consequences of leaving a stain on a bacterial smear too long (over staining)?
