Gradients

... be a requirement for regeneration? A hormone that starts the differentiation development again. And has to start the regeneration process with gradients of factors right at the beginning. With all that massive destruction of cells (amputation), there has to be a release of a threshold gradient ...

... PaCO2 levels dont rise as fast as PaO2 levels fall b/c of a greater diffusibility of CO2 . Does it have to do w/ the different partial pressure gradients of the two gases when loading/unloading at the tissues? I've got myself all wound up here. There is a difference in the way both gases travel ...

Why do CO2 levels not rise as fast as 02 levels fall in arterial blood?? Does it have to do with differences in partial pressure gradients for the two gases? Or what about the weak and reversible bond between O2 and hemoglobin? Or the Bohr effect, where in the presence of higher concentrations ...

On the plasma membrane, there are Na and K diffuse passively according to their gradients. Then there is the active Na/K pump that pumps against the respective gradients. My question is, what would happen if body temp decreases very quickly? I think that since the ...
