Reference no: EM13145685

Jennifer R. has the "stomach flu" that is going around campus and has been vomiting profusely for the past 24 hours. Not only has she been unable to keep down fluids or food, but she has also lost the acidic digestive juices secreted by the stomach that are normally reabsorbed back into the blood farther down the digestive tract.

1.In what ways might this condition threaten to disrupt homeostasis in Jennifer's internal environment? Lack of acidic juices? Lack of water?

2.What specific homeostatically maintained factors are moved away from normal by her profuse vomiting?

2.What specific body systems respond to the imbalance and HOW do they resist these changes?
