Answer #1

Homeostasis is the human body mechanism through which it maintains steady internal environment of the body. Homeostasis maintains an optimum internal environment for adequate functioning of the tissue cells.
Homeostasis is regulated through hypothalamus.
Homeostasis regulates almost every endocrine and exocrine secretions, blood gas content, oxygen content, temperature, respiration, blood pressure, neurotransmission, electrolyte and water balance, energy balance, minerals.
Disruption in body homeostasis may cause these values to rise or drop creating an imbalance in the body environment. This results in pathological conditions like metabolic disorders, hormonal imbalance, fever, blood disorders, immunodeficiency.

Serum calcium and phosphorous levels are under homeostatic control and the body can draw upon bone’s “reservoir” of these minerals if serum levels fall too low. Explain how a drop in serum calcium levels (hypocalcemia) can lead to enhanced bone resorption and a restoration of serum calcium levels without causing hyperphosphatemia.

Just wondering if someone can clarify why the ROA ratio will be higher under the LIFO inventory accounting method in comparison with the FIFO inventory accounting method. I understand that under LIFO (in the case of rising prices) COGS will be higher which will reduce net income, but the ending inventory and thus total assets will also be lower. I am assuming that the reduced affect on net income from using LIFO as opposed to FIFO will be less than...

The problem is that many of us have to learn to actively listen. I am sure we all had an argument once in a while, but we only hear part of the conversation because our brain needs to answer immediately. This is more selective hearing. How would you know if someone is actively listening?

When I am computing structure factor values of a lattice, I am confused as to how some of the planes are classified. My book describes the conditions for for a given intensity value F^2 as a function of the sum of the hkl values (h + k + l). It gives the equation for the F^2 value for different planes... then says "when h+k+l is an odd multiple of 2" or "when h+k+l is an even multiple of 2". I...

My question is why when I am distillating a mixture to obtain pure liquids, the boiling point ranges are lower than literature values for the boiling point of each of them. For example, I am distillating a mixture of diethyl ether isopentanol and isopentyl propionate. My distillates were separated at 32-33, 125-127 and 145-146. All these numbers are lower for each of them than their literature values that are 34.4 for diethyl ether, 130.8 for isopentanol and 173 for isopentyl...

Some of you will certainly disagree and there is nothing wrong with that. When no one disagrees there is no point to discussion. That being...
