I am currently reviewing physiology for the upcoming final exam on Tuesday, when I came across a concept that reminded me of an interesting encounter the other night. We were leaving the restaurant after an EMC Executive Board dinner meeting, (which I am not officially on, I was simply providing transportation), when the security guard stationed in the parking lot came up to us. He asked:

You see, the guy's name is Henderson, and this is how he introduces himself, to everyone, everytime. I don't know how it is working out for him, but I can't imagine introducing oneself with a chemisty equation impresses women.

If you're curious as to what the equation is, click on "Read the rest of this entry."

Welcome, self-proclaimed geek!

The Henderson-Hasselbach equation is: pH = pKa + log ([base]/[acid])
That's pH equals the pKa plus log base 10 of the concentration of base divided by the concentration of acid.

Ok, done with review acid/base balance physiolgy, now on to temperature regulation!
