Epilepsy is a relatively common disorder, affecting between 0.5-1% of the population, and frontal lobe epilepsy accounts for about 1-2% of all epilepsies. The most common subdivision of epilepsy is symptomatic partial epilepsy, which causes simple partial seizures, and can be
The internal pH of most cells is near neutral. A) water to break down into H+ and OH-. B) rapid fluctuations between acidic and basic conditions within the cells. C) the buffers produced within the body to affect these cells. D) enzymes outside of these cells to function. E) enzymes within the cell to act at peak efficiency.
Introduction: Cells must constantly maintain their pH in order to function properly. In animals, for example, the maintainence of blood pH is crucial for life. A slightly acidic pH (6.95) would result in coma and death. A slightly more basic pH (7.7) would result in convulsions and muscle spasms.e can see how pH changes with hydrogen ion concentration by plotting the equation for pH as a logarithmic function of [H + ]. We can more clearly see how [H + ] affects pH by plotting this graph on a semi-log scale. This will make it easier for us to see values of pH at very low values of [H + ].
