Mark Foust AP2630 Unit 7 Assignment 1: Urinary System Homeostasis Due Date: November 4‚ 2014 Homeostatic Imbalances a Person on Dialysis Might Face Homeostasis is extremely important for proper functioning of all the human body systems. When our body is not able to regulate temperature all our body functions will fail to work. Even the enzymes need a specific constant temperature to work at their optimum level. At higher temperatures the enzymes will stop working. Dialysis is the artificial process

Fatima Khan Q: WHAT IS THE CLINICAL IMPORTANCE OF URIC ACID AND CREATININE? ANSWER: URIC ACID Uric acid is a weak organic acid‚ the end product of purine nucleotides degradation. The findings of human pathological levels of uric acid in serum and urine have in most patients serious clinical implications. Uric acid is a useful diagnostic tool as screening for most of purine metabolic disorders. The importance of uric acid measurement in plasma and urine with respect of metabolic disorders is

PhysioEx – Exercise 9 Activity 1: 1. excretion and regulation 2. glomerular capillaries (glomerulus) & Bowman’s capsule 3. The filtrate flows from the Bowman’s capsule into the renal tubule called the proximal convoluted tubule then into the loop of Henle‚ and finally into the distal convoluted tubule: a. Proximal Convoluted Tubule b. Loop of Henle c. Distal Convoluted Tubule 4. When the radius of the afferent arteriole was decreased‚ the pressure and the filtration rate both decreased

Kidney plays an important function in regulation the concentration of sodium and potassium in blood. A steroid hormone called aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex in respond to rennin secreted by the kidney cells to stimulate potassium excretion by active reabsorption of sodium in distal and collecting ducts. Aldosterone increase active secretion of potassium in distal convoluted tubules and also stimulates the reabsorption of sodium on collecting ducts. Antidiuretic hormone also helps to

Tissues in the Body Unit 5 – Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care Epithelial Cuboidal – cube shaped‚ prominent nucleus. Can be found in medulla of kidney. Does not allow for passive diffusion easily. Columnar – tall‚ vertical‚ thick cells. Can be found in the small intestine. Does not allow passive diffusion easily. Active transport is needed. Move nutrients from intestine to blood = absorption! Can have microvilli to increase surface area. Squamous – large‚ thin and prominent

A kidney process about 400 quarts of blood a day t shift out about 21 quarts of waste products which leaves the body as what we call urine. The urine drains from the kidneys into the bladder through larger tubes called ureters. a kidney located nesr the middle of the back right about where your elbow is placed‚ just below the rib cage to the left and right of the spene. For those who dont know‚ there are 2 kidneys in our body which makes it easier to get kidney diseases. There are many kidney
