Acid-base disturbances The Acid Base Imbalance Regulation of hydrogen ion concentration in the body is a necessity for normal body functions.1 H + concentration in all body fluids are maintained to maintain pH ranges within narrow limits, this service is known as the balance acid-base (AB) 2.Arterial blood pH is maintained between 7.35-7.45, venous blood remains near 7,352. Most diseases / conditions disrupt AB, AB changes may be more harmful than the initial pathology. When AB is affected, causing

faster. The presence of the food in the mouth stimulates exocrine glands. This causes the mouth to secrete digestive enzymes, namely salivary amylase. These secreted enzymes aid in the breakdown of foods, officially starting the digestion process. Carbohydrates in particular are mostly broken down by salivary amylase. Salivary amylase breaks starch, a popular carb, down to maltose. This means that the bread of the ham and cheese sandwich will notably be chemically altered at this point. It is because

Student Number 39331040 Leroux van der Hoven FIS3703 Discuss the sources of energy for muscle contraction Sources of energy for muscle contraction Muscle contraction is dependent on energy supplied by ATP. The majority of this energy is needed to actuate the walk-along mechanism by which the cross-bridges drag the actin filaments, but some energy is also needed for (1) propelling C ions into the sarcoplasmic reticulum from the sarcoplasm after the contraction is over and (2) propelling
