If the blood pressure in your brain is 120 mm when you are lying down, what would it be when you stand up? Assume that your brai

n is 40 cm from your heart and that rho = 1060 kg/m3 for your blood. Note: Normally, your blood vessels constrict and expand to keep your brain blood pressure stable when you change your posture.

Answer:

The correct answer is 88.84 mmHg.

Explanation:

The pressure differential between the brain and the heart while standing up will be 120 - rho × g (gravity) × h, here h is the distance from the brain to the heart. The h is 40 cm or 0.4 m.  

rho×g×h = 1060 kg/m³×9.8 m/s²×0.4m  

= 4155 Pa  

Now converting Pa to mmHg we get:  

4155 Pa × 760 mmHg / 1.01325 × 10⁵ Pa  

= 31.16 mmHg  

Thus, the pressure in the brain now is 120 - 31.16  

= 88.84 mmHg (hypotension)

When vesicles of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (CSR) are incubated with ATP Mg^2+ and Ca^2+, they take up Ca^2+ and reach a
abruzzese [7]

Answer

I added 4 and 5 as an attachment due to time constraint.

Explanation:

1. at a steady state ca2+ taken by vesicle = 40n/mol

enclosed volume of CSR = 5μ/mg

concentration of ca2+ in vesicle =

40*10⁻⁶/5x10⁻⁶

= 0.008

= 8x10⁻⁹mol/L

2. radius of circle =75nM

volume = 150nm

volume of vesicle = 4/3 x pi x r³

= 1.33 x 3.14 x (75x10⁻⁹)³

= 1.77 x 10⁻²¹

when we convert this we get

1.77x10⁻¹⁸L since 1m³ is equal to 100oL

surface area =4x3.14x(75x10⁻⁹)²

= 12.56x5.625⁻¹⁵

= 7.065x10⁻¹⁴m²

this is 7.065x10⁻¹⁰cm²

3. number of vesicle/CSR

= 5x10⁻⁶/1.77x10⁻¹⁸

= 2.824x10¹²

surface are = 2.824x10¹² x7.06x10⁻¹⁰

= 19.95x10²
