V. Anatomy and Physiology The Urinary Tract The Urinary System rids the body of nitrogenous wastes while regulating water‚ electrolyte‚ and acid-base balance of the blood. Kidneys Kidneys are small‚ dark red organs with a kidney-bean shape lie against the dorsal body wall in a retroperineal position (beneath the parietal peritoneum) in the superior lumbar region. The kidneys extend from T12 to the L3 vertebra; thus they receive some protection from the lower part of the rib cage. Because

BALANCE LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with how to use the ChemLab program for determining mass using both the centigram balance and the electronic balance. Using the centigram balance‚ the mass‚ in grams‚ of a copper slug will be determined by both direct weighing and weighing by difference techniques. Using an electronic balance‚ the wight of a copper slug will be determined by also utilizing direct weighing and weighing by difference. Average mass of a
