There is a man who drank a large quantity of moonshine (illegal alcoholic drink). Now he is complaining about "cotton mouth". Physiologically, what is the explanation for his thirst?
Ethanol is a dehydrating agent (diuretic).
Alcahol combines with water, making it unavailable. The man had become dehydrated.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASSE HELP ME... i am doing a physiology project on asthma and i have to do a summary/ chart on the question:
Organization of affected organisms
organism
organ system
organs
tissues
cell types/ functional units
and i have noooo idea what it means and the project is due tomorrow.. i fanyone has any idea what to do pleease tell me
I can definitely help you with your physiology project! The question you are trying to answer is about the organization of affected organisms in relation to asthma. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Organism: Start by identifying the organism you are studying for your project. In this case, it would be a human since asthma is a condition that affects humans.
2. Organ System: Next, think about the organ system that is primarily involved in asthma. Asthma is a respiratory condition, so the organ system affected is the respiratory system.
3. Organs: Within the respiratory system, there are specific organs that play a role in asthma. These would include the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, and trachea.
4. Tissues: Moving further within the organs, there are various tissues involved. In the lungs, for example, you have respiratory epithelium, smooth muscle tissue, connective tissue, and blood vessels.
5. Cell Types/Functional Units: Finally, think about the different types of cells or functional units found in the tissues mentioned earlier. In the lungs, you would have cells such as ciliated epithelial cells, smooth muscle cells, macrophages, and mast cells.
To summarize, your chart or summary should include the following levels of organization for asthma:
- Organism: Human
- Organ System: Respiratory System
- Organs: Lungs, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Trachea
- Tissues: Respiratory Epithelium, Smooth Muscle Tissue, Connective Tissue, Blood Vessels
- Cell Types/Functional Units: Ciliated Epithelial Cells, Smooth Muscle Cells, Macrophages, Mast Cells
Include a brief description or explanation under each level to provide a clear understanding of how asthma affects each level of organization. Good luck with your project!
