Understanding Cardiovascular Function: An Irreducibly Complex System for Controlling Water Content
Evolutionary biology must explain how life actually works, not just how it looks.
Understanding Cardiovascular Function: The Challenge of Maintaining the Body’s Water Content
In dealing with the laws of nature, our body is constantly losing water, mainly through respiration, perspiration, and the formation of urine.
Understanding Cardiovascular Function: How Water Stays Within the Circulation
The force that opposes filtering water out of the circulation by the hydrostatic pressure is osmosis.
Understanding Cardiovascular Function: How Water Is Distributed in the Body
Water is the body’s most abundant molecule, making up about 60 percent by weight.
Solving the Problem of Iron: Acquisition, Transport, and Control
It’s the iron (Fe) in the hemoglobin molecule to which O2 actually attaches and enables it to be transported in the blood.
