OUTCOME 2: Explain the principles of blood pressure to include: • blood pressure maintenance • differentiation between systolic and diastolic blood pressure • normal limits of blood pressure • conditions of high or low blood pressure What is a blood pressure? Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). The reading of a blood pressure is given as two numbers, systolic and diastolic. The systolic reading is first which measures the amount of pressure in your arteries during contraction

greater outside the cell than inside. 4. Water will enter the cell because solute potential is lower inside the cell than outside. 5. The cell will become flaccid because the pressure potential is greater outside the cell than inside. 6. The cell is already in equilibrium with its surroundings because of the combination of pressure potential and solute potential inside and outside the cell. 7. Initially, the cytoplasm is hypertonic to the surrounding solution. 8. Initially, the numerical value of

1. Why do all organizations need to rely on groups and teams to achieve their goals and gaina competitive advantage? A group = two or more people who work together to achieve certain goals or meet certain needs.A team = a group of people work together to achieve a specific common goal or objective.Because of the sheer dynamics of either a group or a team and how they function within anorganization, these units can help an organization gain an advantage over their competitors, serve asperformance

Leslie Meyer 12/03/2015 Week 4 Case study Max 1. When the urine is yellow it means that high Na+ are released and ADH is secreted high. If the urine has no color then it is diluted. Increases in specific gravity may be associated with renal failure, and excessive fluid intake. 2. When Max was at rest his gravity rate was good. When he started to work out the gravity rate was showing very high. After he got done working out the rate was still high, not at a normal rate. The higher the number

Question 1: Model Summary | Model | R | R Square | Adjusted R Square | Std. Error of the Estimate | 1 | .521a | .271 | .268 | 3.218 | a. Predictors: (Constant), Mother's height in inches, Father's height in inches | The model summary table indicates that R value is 0.521 which is a moderate correlation. The R square value 27% (R2) of the variation in son’s height is explained by the variation in the two independent variables “Father’s height in inches” and “Mother’s height in inches”
