How does the neuroendocrine system maintain homeostasis in the body?
Q A Neurons affect the endocrine system, and hormones affect the
exocrine organs.
O B. Neurons sense changes in body systems, and hormones cause
corrections.
C. Neuroendocrines activate the somatic response and the
sympathetic response.
D. Neurons only affect females, and hormones only affect males.

Cultures of the lake of the ozarks water samples were grown on enrichment media for identification. however, these organisms are present to some degree in all samples. an important question from a clinical perspective is whether or not there is a significant increase in the fecal coliform populations that would put people's health at risk. if you were part of the team investigating this outbreak, how would you best enumerate the fecal coliform threat? view available hint(s) cultures of the lake of the ozarks water samples were grown on enrichment media for identification. however, these organisms are present to some degree in all samples. an important question from a clinical perspective is whether or not there is a significant increase in the fecal coliform populations that would put people's health at risk. if you were part of the team investigating this outbreak, how would you best enumerate the fecal coliform threat? direct microscopic counts filtration count culture serial dilution count culture plate count culture

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i. e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
