Kidney Transplant 12 Bibliography 13 Introduction The kidneys are located at the rear of the abdominal cavity and are approximately 10cm long and 5.5cm thick. They are packed with roughly one million microscopic filtering units called nephrons. This huge supply of filters correlates with the main function of kidneys‚ which is to remove metabolic waste from the blood and to adjust the balance of water‚ salt and other substances in the internal environment of the human body (McMillan‚ 2012)

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

2. What effect will decreasing the efferent radius have on glomerular filtration rate? When I decreased the efferent radius‚ it increased the filtration rate. Please see table below: Summary: In this Activity‚ I learned/observed that: the nephron has three important jobs on filtering the blood. Glomerular Filtration speed can be affected by the efferent radius and by the afferent radius. Which makes since‚ because it is like saying the size of the pathway for the blood will make a difference

Assessment 2 – Congestive Cardiac Failure 1. Mr Wright’s admission states that he has CCF (congestive cardiac failure). Clearly define CCF. What organs and which body systems are affected by this disorder? Congestive cardiac failure defined Congestive cardiac failure (CCF) is a progressive disease of the heart‚ which involves loss of pumping ability by the heart. Congestive cardiac failure occurs when the myocardium loses its ability to pump enough blood to meet the body’s metabolic needs and is

Metabolism is the mechanism that creates order and complexity from chaos‚ by acquiring and expending energy. Heredity is the ability of an organism to copy itself and it is broken down into: i. Multiplication‚ ii. Inheritance‚ iii. Variation. 2. DNA codes via RNA for 20 of naturally occurring amino acids. Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins and bodies. DNA stores and transmits
