Clinical Case Study Summary of Hyponatremia The drug MDMA, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamin, commonly known as ecstasy leads to feelings of euphoria, emotional empathy, and increased energy. Hyponatremia is an electrolyte disturbance in which the sodium ion concentration in the plasma is lower than normal. Sodium is the dominant extracellular cation (positive ion) and cannot freely cross from the interstitial space into the cell, because charged sodium ions attract up to 25 water molecules around

Dehydration The human body is made up of over 60% water weight. All of the tissues in the body contain water and muscle is about 75% water, while bone is about 25% water and some water is found in cells. Water is essential to the human body. Not only is water part of the makeup of the body it is also a vital part of the body’s functions. Water is in the bloodstream cells and the spaces between the cells. Water moves back and forth between body compartments in order to equalize the

They are extremely flammable due to the nature of the hydrocarbon-based electrolyte, the part of the battery that allows the charge to flow between the cathode and the anode (Mikolajczak et al.). Normally batteries are made with a water-based electrolyte, however lithium reacts violently with water, so their electrolyte cannot be water based (Shriver, “Lithium”). The problem with a hydrocarbon-based electrolyte is that if they leak, they release highly flammable vapors (Mikolajczak et al.)

aqueous solution. Acids that dissociate to a large extent are strong electrolytes and strong acids. In contrast, acids that dissociate only to a small extent are weak acids and weak electrolytes In a similar manner, bases can be strong or weak depending on the extent to which they dissociate and produce OH– ions in solution. Most metal hydroxides are strong electrolytes and strong bases. Ammonia, NH3, is a weak electrolyte and weak base. o BASES eg oxides and hydroxides are substances that

Introduction Aircrafts require some form of electrical power to operate navigation, taxi, landing, strobe lights and other electronic systems. The electrical system consist of a battery and an alternator (you will find a generator on older type aircraft) to power the system and recharge the battery. You will also find fuses and switches and lights for indication purposes. Some electricity generators are used as backup power or other indication purposes. For example, a volt and/or ammeter are used

Malfunctions of Homeostasis – The endocrine and nervous system work together to maintain homeostatic control in the body and communicate to regulate the body’s functions. They rely on chemical messages in order to function – the nervous system uses electrical impulses and the endocrine system uses hormones. They rely on the hypothalamus to coordinate these bodily functions. The endocrine system - Regulates any fluctuations in the body such as temperature levels, blood glucose levels and ADH
