    Urinary Analysis: Kita Jones

    The reasoning behind this is that when traveling down the collecting duct the concentration of salt is almost similar both on the inside and in the interstitial fluid. The collecting duct is permeable to water and not salt, so water is drawn out via osmosis, which is determined by Antidiuretic Hormone secretion (3). Whether or not water needs to be conserved determines the amount of ADH that is released. If the hormone ADH is high, then the collecting duct becomes more permeable to water so more water is drawn out which means that less urine volume and it will be more concentrated. If ADH is low then less water is removed and the urine volume is large and more diluted. For the salt group, eating potato chips and drinking the salt solution increased the amount of sodium in the blood, leading to more water reabsorption and water retention. The increased Na in the blood will be filtered into the nephron. The increase makes the sodium transporters not able to reabsorb all of the sodium. Therefore, excess sodium and water will remain in the lumen (3). The excess sodium will be excreted into the urine and eliminated from the body. A substance can remain in the blood depending on the amount filtered into the nephron and the amount reabsorbed or secreted by…

    Unit 8 Exercise 1 Study Guide

    What will happen to the urine volume and concentration as the solute gradient (concentration) in the interstitial space is increased? Explain!!! (3 points)  It increases because ADH causes water to move out of urine and the more solute there is the more concentrated the urine. 16. Speculate on ways that desert rats are able to concentrate their urine significantly more than humans? (Think: Hormones) (2 points)  They probably produce more ADH to get all the water possible from the urine as there is not a lot of water in the desert. 17. What would be a reasonable mechanism for diuretics? (2 points)  They act by diminishing sodium reabsorption at different sites in the nephron, thereby increasing urinary sodium and water loss. 18. What will happen to the glucose concentration in the urinary bladder as glucose carriers are added to the proximal tubule? Explain!!! (2 points)  Glucose concentration in the urine decreased because the carriers were able to get the glucose across. 19. Predict what will happen to the urine volume (compared to normal) when aldosterone is added to the distal tubule. Explain!!! (2 points)…

    1) Kidneys – The left kidney is higher than the right kidney due to the position of the liver. Filters waste products of metabolism that collect in the blood. They remove waste from the blood to form urine. The kidneys maintain balance between retention and excretion of fluids ( play key role in fluid and electrolyte balance). The normal adult urine output is 1200 to 1500 ml/ day. An output less than 30 ml/hr indicates possible circulatory, blood volume or renal alterations. Erythropoietin functions within the bone marrow to stimulate RBC production and maturation. Patients with chronic kidney conditions cannot produce sufficient quantities of this hormone are prone to anemia. The kidneys affect calcium and phosphate regulation by producing a substance that converts vitamin D. Patients with chronic alteration in the kidney fuction do not make sufficient amounts of the active vitamin D. They are prone to develop renal bone disease resulting from impaired calcium absorption. Renal hormones affect blood pressure regulation, renal ischemia (decreased blood supply), and renin is released from juxtaglomerular cells. Renin functions as an enzyme to convert angiotensinogen (a substance synthesized by the liver) into angiotension1. Angiotensin 1 is converted to angiotensin 2 in the lungs. Angiotensin 2 causes vasoconstriction and stimulates aldosterone released from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone causes retention of water, which increases blood volume. The kidneys also produce prostaglandin E2 and prostacyclin, which help maintain renal blood flow through vasodilation. These mechanisms increase arterial blood pressure and renal blood flow.…
