How does active transport help the Atlantic cod maintain homeostasis with regard to the balance of sodium and chlorine ions
kotegsom [21]

Atlantic Cod is a marine fish. The fish has less salt in its internal body while the salt concentration in the sea water in which the Cod lives is high. Thus through the process of osmosis ( a process in which an element moves across a permeable membrane from regions of high concentration to the regions of low concentration) the salt moves from the ocean into the fish body. In such scenario the metabolism of the fish body gets disturbed, and there is an urgent need to remove the excess salt with the help of Kidney (through extremely concentrated urine) by going against the concentration gradient in order to maintain the homeostasis.

Hippocampus. This is a type of amnesia called anterograde amnesia which manifest as inability to form new memories after the brain was damage. This can also lead to impairment of remembering new facts and events.  The area in the brain that is associated learning and memory is the hippocampus. Any damage in this area whether due to hypoxia, stroke, or any form of pathology can cause anterograde amnesia. This is a part of the limbic system that plays a role in consolidation of short term to long term memory and spatial memory that allows us to navigate. This area is located under the cerebral cortex.
