Christina McNellis Contemporary electrotherapy HND Beauty Therapy Unit DP3F 35 Microdermabrasion Type of treatment In microdermabrasion, tiny crystals are sprayed onto the skin to gently remove the outer layer of your skin. This technique is less aggressive than dermabrasion, so you don't need numbing medicine. It is an exfoliation and skin rejuvenation procedure that leaves skin looking softer and brighter…
The hormones vasopressin and aldosterone are also released due to angiotensin II. Vasopressin stimulates water retention and aldosterone stimulates sodium retention. This increases blood volume, along with vasoconstriction, which then increases blood…
1. What were the main findings of Mr. Penzey’s physical exam? How could his CT results be related to his blood pressure findings? When Mr. Penzey's case study was analyzed, the initial tests performed on him indicated multiple findings.…
It is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland. ADH is released from the pituitary gland and acts on the kidneys to prevent the loss of excess fluids through urination. ADH operates on “transmembrane protein called aquaporin that open up to allow water into collecting ducts” (Mandal, 2013, p. 1). In Neurogenic (Central) DI, extremely low ADH is unable to prevent the kidney from passing dilute urine resulting in polyuria and manifesting in polydipsia. The elevated sodium serum level is an indication of dehydration due to the lack of ADH resulting in an imbalance between sodium and water concentration in the…
Drinking alcohol inhibits the activity of ADH causing increased urination, dehydration, and a hangover. Diuretics, prescribed for blood pressure, inhibit ADH by lowering blood volume and blood pressure causing…

When it comes to diabetes mellitus, the hormone involved is insulin, secreted by pancreas, which is absorbed by the cells in our body as a message to use glucose present in the blood. When pancreas is unable to secrete insulin or when the cells in our body develop resistance to insulin, the glucose in the blood will not be utilized. This is known as diabetes mellitus. In those who are suffering from diabetes insipidus, excess urination results in increasing the concentration of salts or electrolytes present in the body. This is known as hypernatremia.…
Rui Lu Pig kidney dissection Purpose By cutting open the pig kidney, to figure out the following parts: capsule, cortex, medulla, pyramid, papilla, column, major calyx, minor calyx, hilus, renal artery, renal vein, pelvis, sinus and ureter of the kidney. Hypothesis If we dissect a pig kidney, then we will find many similarities to the human kidney because we have learned that mammalian kidneys are similar.…
The stimulus is a person not drinking enough water resulting in dehydration. The response is a loss of blood pressure, which triggers the release of antidiuretic hormone from the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands. The signal is that the hormone tells the kidney to allow reabsorption of water by the blood vessels. This is an example of positive feedback, because the hormone increases the blood pressure back to normal conditions. c)…
Normally, when a person's fluid intake is low or when a lot of fluid is lost (for example, through sweating), the brain releases more ADH into the bloodstream. High levels of this hormone direct the kidneys to reabsorb more water and to make less urine. When fluid intake is adequate,…
Desmopressin is a synthetic hormone that replaces ADH and can be injected, taken orally or by nasal spray. Nephrogenic DI occurs when there's a defect in the structures of the kidneys that control water to excretion or reabsorbtion called the kidney tubules. Because of this defect the kidneys are unable to correctly respond to ADH produced by the pituitary gland within the brain. Nephrogenic DI can also be caused by a genetic condition or certain drugs that damage the kidneys. These drugs include a tetracycline antibiotic called demeclocycline and lithium (Saudek).…
The kidney’s function is to help the body get rid of excessive waste water with the help of regular blood flow. When this doesn’t happen, like with CHF, water inside your body can no longer regulate…
CONCEPT 7: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NURSING HISTORY AS PART OF GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT ASSESSMENT. This concept is taken from Block 4, Module 8 which is entitled as ‘Assessment of gastrointestinal system’. The digestive system is made up of organs that function together to transform food substances to energy and nutrients that are needed in the body.…
In Robert M. Sapolsky’s book titled “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers” he describes how the human body maintains balance through a process he calls homeostasis. Homeostasis helps the body normalize itself using different regulatory methods so it functions in a stable, healthy state. During a water crisis or shortage, the body will adjust itself. “Or suppose there is a water shortage. Homeostatic solution: kidneys are the ones that figure this out, tighten things up there, produce less urine for water conservation.”…
When they are functioning normally, the kidneys eliminate toxins, metabolic wastes, and excess ions, while they retain substances useful to the body. The urinary system rids the body of these wastes. The urinary system is also involved in maintaining proper blood volume, blood pressure and ion absorption within the blood. The kidneys produce erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production. The kidneys also maintain the correct water content of the body and the correct salt composition of extracellular fluid.…
