In order to avoid these problems keeping your blood glucose and having annual dilated eye check ups are important. Then also with microvascular complications comes kidney disease‚ or diabetic nephropathy‚ which can lead to dialysis and kidney transplant. Again poorly controlling your diabetes is what will

Part I: Pre-Lab Diffusion/Osmosis Pre-Lab Introduction: Dialysis tubing allows molecules to diffuse through microscopic pores in the tubing. Molecules that are smaller than the pores can diffuse through the dialysis membrane along the concentration gradients. Molecules that are larger than the pore size are prevented from crossing the dialysis membrane. Answer questions in complete sentences. For problems‚ show equations and work with units and appropriate significant figures. Part IA: In the following

The Excretory System • Main functions of the excretory system are: o to concentrate wastes and expel them from the body o to regulate fluids and water within the body • Most metabolic wastes and toxins are dissolved in the body’s internal environment‚ so the maintenance of the body fluids is essential for keeping the body free of waste products enabling it to function properly. Excretion in Invertebrates and Non-mammaliam Vertebrates • Single celled organisms and simple multicellular

Many of people think that donating a kidney‚ for example‚ is an over-the-top sacrifice‚ but the procedure is actually very safe and‚ for the most part‚ painless. The donor spends three days in the hospital and within a month is able to return to work and participate in all normal activities again. Only about 1 in every 3000 people die from a kidney transplant procedure

URINARY SYSTEM This system consists of the KIDNEYS‚ URETERS‚ URETHRA‚ and BLADDER. Not many structures‚ but very important. Functions: 1. Regulate electrolytes (K‚ Na‚ etc) in body 2. Regulate pH in blood 3. Regulate blood pressure 4. Regulate blood volume 5. Removing metabolic wastes (chemicals produces by chemical reactions in the body are excreted). This is the least important of the kidney’s functions. You can survive for a few weeks without excreting waste products in the urine‚ but hour

Secondary hypertension is related to damaged kidneys or to an abnormal narrowing of one or both renal arteries. The renal arteries are the major blood vessels that bring blood to each kidney. When the kidney’s blood supply is reduced by a narrowing (called renal artery stenosis)‚ the kidney produces high levels of a hormone called renin. High levels of renin trigger the production of other

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 which is called the renal
