Electrolyte imbalance can affect the normal function of the brain. Sodium is an important electrolyte maintains homeostasis in the body. Its primary function is to regulate water retention. Low sodium usually decreases serum osmolality. This combination of deficiencies is called Hypotonic hyponatremia.
A sudden drop in sodium and plasma osmolality can cause seizures. Brain function is affected because the water in the body, because start to flow from the extracellular spaces into the intercellular spaces. This causes the brain cells to swell and thus affecting its normal function.
Therapy for this type is IV therapy, particularly hypertonic saline to replace the sodium in the body and normalize plasma osmolality and diuretics are given to aid in water excretion. Therapy should be done slowly and should be closely monitored. More swelling can developed when it is done too quickly.
Hmmm I’m not quite sure about that

<span>The ventricles are the part of the heart that are responsible for the pumping action to move blood throughout the body. Therefore, the muscles in the ventricles are much larger and thicker to do their job properly. The atrium only has to pump blood through an open valve (the tricuspid valve) into the right ventricle. There is much less resistance to this flow of blood so much less muscle is needed. </span>
Hairpin like structures are formed in both DNA and RNA but are common in RNA than in DNA. This is because DNA can be double stranded or single stranded while RNA is generally single stranded structure that can be double stranded only when it forms a hair pin like structure.
The features of hairpin structure in RNA are as follows:
1. This structure is a building block of many secondary structures of RNA.
2. The termination sequence during transcription also forms a hairpin loop like structure.
3. tRNA also forms a hairpin loop like structure and helps in the process of translation.
