Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of administering 1 L of half-normal saline on a patient’s total body fluid volume.

Introduction: Body fluids in the human body are distributed in different compartments of the body. Movement of water from one part to another takes place based on the concentration gradient of solute in each of these body fluid compartments.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of administering 1 L of half-normal saline on a patient’s total body osmolarity.

Introduction: Normal saline contains 0.9% w/v NaCl. This concentration makes it somewhat similar to body fluids. It makes it suitable to be used as a common medication fluid. On the other hand, half-normal saline, as its name suggests, contains a half concentration of salt as compared to normal saline.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of administering 1 L of half-normal saline on a patient’s ECF and ICF volumes.

Introduction: Volume of different body fluids is altered in the addition of solutions from outside the body. These added solutions can have different concentration of solutes. Normal saline is a commonly used fluid for medication purpose.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of administering 1 L of half-normal saline on a patient’s ECF and ICF osmolarities.

Introduction: Addition of salts or solvents from outside changes the levels of fluid as well as solutes in the body in a different manner. An increase in the amount of salt or any other solute in the body decreases the osmolarity of the body; whereas, an increase in the fluid level inside the body decreases the osmolarity in the body.

5G JA ATTC 3 3 CTIA A1G5 5 GAAT I I3 3 CTIA AA5 Fig. 5-3: The Eco restriction site (left) would be cleaved at the locations indicated by the arrows. However, a SNP in the position shown in gray (right) would prevent cleavage at this site by EcoRI One of the SNPs in B. rapa is found within the Park14 locus and can be detected by RFLP analysis. The CT polymorphism is found in the intron of the Bra013780 gene found on Chromosome 1. The Park14 allele with the "C" in the SNP has two EcoRI sites and thus is cleaved twice by EcoRI If there is a "T" in that SNP, one of the EcoRI sites is altered, so the Park14 allele with the T in the SNP has only one EcoRI site (Fig. 5-3).

From your previous experiment, you found that this enhancer activates stripe 2 of eve expression. When you sequence this enhancer you find several binding sites for the gap gene, Giant. To test how Giant interacts with eve, you decide to remove all of the Giant binding sites from the eve enhancer. What results do you expect to see with respect to eve expression?
What experiment could you do to see if the maternal gene, bicoid, is sufficient to form anterior fates?
