In this article we will discuss about the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equations. This concerns the dissociation of weak acid in equilibrium. Let us consider HA, a weak acid that ionizes as follows: The above 1 no. equation is known as Henderson-Hassethalch equation. Example: In case of blood, the ratio between [BHCO3]: [H2CO3] or [B2HPO4]: [BH2PO4] can be found out by applying the [...]
The following points highlight the three main purposes of radioisotopes in medical science. The purposes are: 1. Experimental 2. Diagnostic 3. Therapeutic. Purpose # 1. Experimental: (i) The research work needs radioisotopes to investigate absorption, mobilization, storage, and distribution of different substances in the body. (ii) The substance under investigation is 'tagged' with a radioactive isotope which acts as a [...]
The below mentioned article provides a short note on Osmosis:- 1. Definition of Osmosis 2. Experiment of Osmosis 3. Application 4. Electro-endosmosis. Definition of Osmosis: Osmosis is defined as the spontaneous flow of water into a solution, or, from a more dilute to a more concentrated solution when the two solutions are separated from each other by a semi-permeable membrane.
