Primary Active Transporter Na+/K+ ATPase pump. Describe how this pump maintains Na+ and K+ ionic gradients across the cell membrane. SECONDARY ACTIVE TRANSPORTERS: How do these secondary transporters benefit from the ionic gradients created by primary active transporters? What is the difference between cotransport/countertransport?

(Please don't write the answer on a separate page all over the place. I'm new to A&P 1 and I'm still learning, so I need to be explained, rather than shown notes like what I take in class.)

Chronic kidney disease is a gradual loss of kidney function. In this assignment, you will explore this disease in more detail using the scenario below.

Scenario:
You are a healthcare provider who is preparing to meet with a patient who has recently been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. You are tasked with explaining this disease and its treatment options to your patient.

PLEASE ANSWER THE WHOLE THING...

To complete this assignment, do the following:

  1. Research this disease using a minimum of 2 source(s).
  2. In a minimum of 2 pages (not counting the references page), address the following:
    • Explain how chronic kidney disease develops and the potential causes.
    • Describe the treatment options that exist.
  3. Include a references page at the end of your document, formatted using the APA guidelines, that lists your research sources.

While volunteering at an assisted living facility, you are asked to participate in the care of an 82 year-old female resident with limited mobility. When you are first introduced to Gladius Claymore, you notice she often rubs and taps at the side of her left hip, but still greets you with a welcoming smile. Gladius often spoke of experiencing shooting pain, numbness, and weakness on her lower back, the posterior side of her left buttocks, and her posterior lower limb. She first started experiencing these symptoms ever since she suffered a bad fall a few months back. “The doctor said I had a ‘slipped disc’ in my waist” she tells you “But I don’t get why it would make my thigh hurt!” You help Gladius make it to her physical therapy appointment and spend some time chatting with her clinician. When the clinician finds out you are taking a human anatomy class she begins to quiz you about some of the anatomy related to Gladius presentations and complications that might be associated with it. Gladius has a good time quizzing you too (and telling to when you’re wrong) and wishes you luck on your upcoming exam.          

Goal: Using the description above, describe the most likely diagnosis for Gladius’s presentation (should include anatomical terms), and compared it with an in-depth discussion of the normal, healthy anatomy (hint: should include tissue types found in the bone and joints in the vertebral column). Next, describe the common causes of this presentation, especially in someone of Gladius’ demographic group. Gladius’s presentation may cause impingement on components of the central and/or peripheral nervous system, describe those components using correct anatomical terminology. Describe the layers and spaces surrounding the spinal cord. Lastly, how might someone like you get involved with Gladius and brighten her day.

Mr. Q is a 28 year old Olympic freestyle wrestler'who recently finished second in a state level
competition. He stated he was leading until the final I minute of his 5 minute match when he was
taken down by the eventual winner. He is interested in improving his ability to quickly tackle and
lift his opponents and to avoid becoming excessively fatigued during the final minutes ofhis match.
His next competition is in 3 months. He has no injuries or medical history that would limit his
ability to participate in a training program.

e) You would like to prescribe Mr Q an exercise program to improve his anaerobic cardiovascular
fitness to prevent the onset of fatigue during his wrestling matches.


1. List one (1) test you would perform to assess his anaerobic fitness and justify your
selection. (2 mark)
2. What type of training program would you recommend to improve his anaerobic
cardiovascular fitness? Please justify your selection.
3. Mr Q has informed you he has less than 30 minutes per day for additional training.
Based on your answer in part B of this question, outline a training program that he
can perform independently.


4. What adaptation is responsible for improvements in anaerobic cardiovascular
endurance and Mr Q's ability to work at higher intensities? (1 mark)

  2. they are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is automatic.
  3. they are controlled by somatic reflex loops that are activated by very loud sounds.
  4. they are controlled by the ossicles in a positive feedback manner

So we have concepts of sublethal injury, that may or may not be reversible, lethal injury that causes a catastrophic break up of the cell, necrosis, or a more dainty and controlled form of programmed cell death known as apoptosis.

What are your thoughts about these types of injury - can you think of any examples? How you might expect them to manifest themselves!
