How does the kidney respond to respiratory acidosis and metabolic alkalosis? What structures and segments of the kidney are involved in returning the body back to homeostasis? How does the nephron contribute to this?

I am just trying to understand what specific parts of the kidney respond to acidosis and alkalosis. I understand the importance of using urine to dispose of bicarbonate or hydrogen ions to return the body to homeostasis. But I want to know the anatomical and physiology of this response. This is not for homework I am just curious. Thank you!

"A student new to neuroscience research made extracellular solution and is practicing recording resting membrane potentials from giant squid axons. During one of the trials, the resting membrane potential, which is normally around - 60 mV, measured -15 mV. What potential mistake might the student have made in measuring components for the extracellular solution to cause such a change?"

- This should be in a paragraph answer

- it has something to do with not being permeable enough to Na+, and too much K+ being on the outside.

- I had originally put a paragraph along the lines of putting more Na in the cell instead of having more Na outside the cell like normally, but only got 2/6 points.

The topic is: blood pressure.

Think about the parts of the homeostatic mechanism. choose one of the following real-life examples and explain how it illustrates the concept of the homeostatic mechanism. You should identify the stimulus, receptor, control center, effector, and expected results for the chosen example. You should also predict what would happen if there was a breakdown in the homeostatic mechanism. You may need to do a little bit of outside research to reply to this prompt... although you are expected to identify the basic parts of the homeostatic mechanism using your example, you are not expected to understand the mechanistic details of your example.

Which of the following statements about the association between sleep and health is false?

During sleep, the balance of hormones, enzymes, and proteins are checked for proper balance, and brain debris is removed.

Good nutrition and exercise are more important to a healthy lifestyle than sleep.

Natural immune system moderators increase during deep sleep to promote resistance to viral infections.

Growth and repair of the body's tissues occur during sleep, which help to prevent certain types of cancer.

Vignette #1: A 77-year-old woman was cooking in the kitchen when she collapsed onto the floor. Her daughter called an ambulance and the woman was taken to the emergency room. She had suffered a stroke, and slowly regained consciousness over the next two days. However, when she woke up, she had the following signs and symptoms:- loss of sight (although pupils were reactive to light
)- partial amnesia (loss of memory) - inability to create and store new long-term memories.

Vignette #2: A 61-year-old business executive with a long history of high blood pressure collapsed while jogging over the lunch hour. His jogging mate quickly contacted a police officer who helped carry the man to a hospital just down the road. At the hospital, an MRI was performed that revealed a blockage of a major cerebral artery and ischemic changes to the portion of the brain supplied by that artery. With quick medical attention, the man was stabilized, and he slowly improved over the next three weeks. The following signs and symptoms did persist, however:- weakness of the facial and upper extremity muscles on the left side - loss of sensory discrimination when objects are placed into the left hand - significant mood and character changes.

1. Based upon the patient's symptoms in Vignette #1, which cerebral artery was blocked? Your explanation should include which area(s) of the brain is/are affected as indicated by the reported symptoms, and how that leads to your identification of the blocked blood vessel. (Be Specific)

2. Which artery was blocked in Vignette #2? Your explanation should include which area(s) of the brain is/are affected as indicated by the reported symptoms, and how that leads to your identification of the blocked blood vessel. (Be Specific)

3. Take a moment to consider the “Circle of Willis”. Assuming both patients have a fully connected Circle of Willis, would you predict that blood flow to the affected areas would be maintained despite the blockage? Why or why not?

4. Propose a possible treatment for the patient in this case study. How does this treatment improve conditions for the patient? Are these improvements seen at the cellular, tissue, organ or systemic level?
