Identify the body system that carries hormones throughout the body and how?

A

The main system that carries hormones throughout the body is the circulatory system, through the blood.

124
Q

What common lab test is used to assess the respiratory system and what four values are involved?

A

The common lab test used to assess the respiratory system is called blood gas. The four values that are involved are O2, CO2, pH, and bicarbonate.

125
Q

Identify the two lab values discussed in the lecture to assess the renal system and explain the importance of these values.

A

The first one is creatinine which measures kidney function. If you see a small level of creatinine that means that the kidneys are doing their job (creatinine is a by-product of cell metabolism and muscle metabolism). If suddenly the creatinine goes up that tells us that there is a problem with the kidneys. The other test that is used to assess kidney function is blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The BUN lab test is assessing the level of nitrogenous wastes in the blood. It measures the amount of nitrogen in your blood that comes from urea (urea is a by-product of breaking down protein).
