HPHY 242 L 15 April 2013 Glomerulonephritis The kidney performs many functions which include regulation of extracellular fluid and blood pressure‚ regulation of osmolarity‚ maintenance of ion balance‚ regulation of pH levels‚ excretion of waste‚ and the production of hormones. Although the kidney performs all these functions‚ the renal disease Glomerulonephritis‚ also known as glomerular nephritis and abbreviated GN relates to the excretion of waste. With this disease‚ the part of your kidney

For each part that was tested a made of the graph‚ the subject that was used was the one that had the most consist numbers. What this means is that isotonic urine flow subject is not necessarily isotonic creatinine concentration subject. The kidney’s load for this was either a hypotonic‚ isotonic‚ alkalotic‚ or no solution at all. Based on the data above‚ some hypothesis were validated and other were not. In both the hypotonic and isotonic‚ the urine flow of the subjects increased as expected. This

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM The endocrine system helps regulate and maintain various body functions by synthesizing (making) and releasing hormones‚ chemical messengers. The endocrine system is composed of glands that release their hormones directly into the bloodstream for chemical signaling of target cells. Endocrine glands do not have a duct system and are called ductless glands. These glands release hormones directly into the blood or lymph. These glands include the pituitary gland‚ the pineal gland

localized ischemia and possibly the formation of emboli or thrombi. The tonicity and shape of the endothelium are controlled by the release of several vasoconstrictor (endothelin and angiotensin II) and vasodilator (prostacyclin‚ bradykinin and nitric oxide) chemical mediators (Davignon & Ganz‚ 2004). Angiotensin II works to stimulate production of endothelin; these two work together to exert vasoconstricting properties and promote proliferation of the smooth muscle cells‚ which in turn contributes
