Please describe how it is that the sodium-glucose cotransporter does not use energy directly but still manages to move glucose UP its concentration gradient

1. Ventilation refers to breathing. Explain the events that cause us to inhale. Include any relevant laws, the role of the pleurae, any muscles that play a role in quiet inspiration, and the collection of neurons in the brain that directly influences the rate and depth of breathing.

African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians and people from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have a higher risk of Chronic Kidney Disease. Why is this? What are the effects of Chronic Kidney Disease on the quality of life of an individual?

You have a strange disorder in which both myosin and actin do not attach to the z-disk. Discuss the structure of the sarcomere and whether this disorder will influence the development of muscle tension. Defend your answer.

7. A blood Type A- female marries a blood Type AB+ male:

- Can the female donate blood to the male?

- What blood types can the female can accept?

- Does the female need to be concerned about hemolytic disease of the newborn? And if so, when?

Can someone please help me understand this?

A female patient calls to request an appointment, stating that she has been experiencing an uncomfortable feeling in her breasts. She found a lump this morning in her right breast. How do you handle this call?

The muscular system is known for that system that allows for movement. A lesser known attribute is that it is also responsible for keeping our body temperature at 98.6 degrees.  

In this discussion, a study of what is a fever? Define fever, and why does the body experience this event?

After reviewing, the arteries and veins structure, discuss the function of each one of them, then debate with your fellow students the location, structure, and the function of each type of the blood capillaries.

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.

Adaptive neuroplasticity ( reactive changes to an insult/ brain damage that increases brains plastic capacity)

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.
