Define Henry’s law
Another law about..
The renal capsule includes?
The glomerulus and bomann’s capsule
Deamination
Break down of protein-creates waste products (urea and uric acid).

Arteries
Carries blood away from the heart
What is a difference between arteries and veins?
Veins have valves to keep blood from flowing backwards
EKG
Measures conducting pattern of the heart
1st part of the EKG
The p Wave-which tells us that the SA node is firing.
–onset of atrial contraction
What does the QRS tell us?
The ventricles are contracting
What does the PR wave tell us?
It tell us how how long it takes to fire from the SA node to the AV node
What creates the heart sound?
The closing valves
A lub
Closing of the AV valve
A dub
Closing of the semilunar valves
Heart murmur
The valves don’t close right
