Excessive secretion of the guanylin could cause?
loss of sodium and chloride and water in the feces
Kinds of physiologic solution and their composition?
Common physiologic solutions include saline (sodium chloride 0.9%), Ringer's solution (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate), and Hartmann's solution (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate). These solutions mimic the electrolyte composition of plasma to maintain normal body functions during medical interventions such as surgeries, dehydration, or blood loss.
Why formalin is used in titration of ammonium chloride with sodiumhydroxide?
Formalin is used as a preservative in the titration of ammonium chloride with sodium hydroxide to prevent the loss of ammonia gas. Ammonium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce ammonia gas, which can escape into the atmosphere if not preserved. Formalin helps to stabilize and retain the ammonia gas in solution during the titration process.
Does blubber help to prevent water loss from the body?
Blubber, or subcutaneous fat, helps prevent heat loss from the body. Keratin in the epidermis helps prevent water loss from the body.
Why does the cuticle prevent water loss?
Cuticle being impervious to water prevents water loss
Does fat associated with skin prevent water loss?
No, fat associated with skin prevents heat loss. Keratin and sebum associated with skin prevent water loss.
What prevent water loss in leaves?
A waxy layer called the cuticle prevents water loss in leaves.
What is the hormone that reduces the loss of sodium and water by the kidney?
The hormone that reduces the loss of sodium and water by the kidney is aldosterone. Aldosterone is produced by the adrenal glands and helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body by promoting the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys.
Where does water plants have stomata?
to prevent excessive water loss by transpiration
Why is skin considered part of excretory system?
Because Skin...Expels water, sodium chloride and urea during sweating. (Incidental loss: because sweating is a response to a rise in temperature and not to a change in blood composition.)
What holds the ions together in sodium chloride indicate the specific charges that are involved?
In sodium chloride, the ions are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively charged sodium ions (Na+) and the negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-). The sodium ion has a charge of +1, resulting from the loss of one electron, while the chloride ion has a charge of -1, gained by accepting that electron.
True or false caffeine increases the loss of sodium ions thus increasing the loss of water?
True
