How does osomosis occur in the human body?
The reabsorption of water from the kidney tubules back into the blood depends on osmosis.
Why does blood contain glucose but normal urine does not?
The glucose along with a lot of other things are reabsorbed in the convolued tubules of the nephron so that it is not waisted by losing it in the urine.
How does the reabsorption of sodium and water from the renal tubules increase blood volume?
When blood volume is low, sodium reabsorption in the kidneys is stimulated. The increased sodium increases osmotic pressure, causing water to be reabsorbed with the sodium. The reabsorbed water is added to the plasma, thus increasing blood volume.
What are the advantages of using the enzymatic method for the determination of blood glucose?
Simply put, the enzymatic method ( eg. glucose oxidase and hexokinase etc.) is the best method for blood glucose concentration because of its specificity. This yeilds maximum specificity for glucose estimation even in a comlpex mixture. Sherry-Ann Ramnarine-Phillips
What is a venous reaction?
when drawing blood,and a patient has a non-venous reaction. a example would be what? the choices are bruise, thrombophlebitis, syncope, or hemstoma.
The movement of substances from the blood into the renal tubules is called?
SecretionSecretion is the process by which substances move into the distal and collecting tubules from blood in the capillaries around these tubules.
How does low blood pressure effect the flow of fluid through the renal tubules?
Low blood pressure means the blood flow through the circulation system has been delayed. As a result, blood flow goes through the Renal tubules will be effected. Blood goes through that tube won't be much. Hence, Blood will be slowed when it passes by the renal tubules.
Which of the choices below is not a factor that promotes oxygen binding to and dissociation from hemoglobin?
number of red blood cells
Is water moved from the kidney tubules into the blood by osmosis?
yes it does
What structures filter blood in the kidneys?
The structures are the glomerulus and tubules.
Which of the choices below is not a role of the pleura?
aids in blood flow to and from the heart because the heart sits between the lungs
What are Saclike organs that extract wastes from the blood and add them to feces?
Malpighian tubules
Why do you think capillaries surround the long tubules of nephron?
The kidney's function in filtration. The renal tubules located with in the kidney's and also known as nephrons, are the functioning units of the kidney's. Blood carries nutrients and waste. The renal tubules are surrounded by a capillary network so the blood can expel the waste material that is collects from the body. the renal tubules also replace nutrients and water that is still needed back into the capillaries.
What Organ removes nitrogenous wastes from the blood of fish?
The malpighian tubules are the organs used to remove nitrogenous waste from a grasshopper. These tubules also regulate the internal ionic balance of the grasshopper.
What region of the kidney you would find glomerular capsules?
The bowman's capsule collects the filtrate and it enters the tubules. All glucose is reabsorbed immediately into the blood capillaries. As the rest of the filtrate travels through the tubules water and salts needed by the body are reabsorbed into the blood capillaries.yo yo
What body part is located near the intestine in arthropods and functions to cleanse the blood?
malpighian tubules
Which of the choices below does not involve tissue perfusion?
Tissue perfusion is the amount of blood that the tissues receive during circulation. When a person has decreased tissue perfusion, the tissues are receiving inadequate blood supply.
