When drugs are absorbed through the small intestine do they pass through THE kidney?
Usually, what passes through the kidney are the ones that need to be excreted.
Urine way from kidney out of the body?
Kidney to ureter, to bladder, through urethra, out!
Are the membranes in a dialysis machine permeable or selectively permeable?
The dialysis membrane is selectively permeable because it doesn't allow all cells to go through it. Think of it as a kidney. When blood is sent to the kidney, the blood cells cannot fit through the dialysis inside the kidney, but the waste and bacteria in the cells do. So, The dialysis membrane is selectively permeable.
What region of the kidney would you find renal corpuscles?
the renal corpuscles are located in kidney but to say precisely it is located in nephron(blood filtering component) hope that it helped ^^
How does blood travel through the kidney?
Blood enters the kidney through the Renal artery.
Which blood component would not usually pass through membranes in a kidney?
red blood cells :)
When drugs are absorbed through the small intestine do they pass through THE kidney?
Usually, what passes through the kidney are the ones that need to be excreted.
The dialysis membranes used in the treatment of kidney disease do not allow plasma protein molecules to pass?
The dialysis membranes used in the treatment of kidney disease do not allow plasma proteins to pass the dialyzing fluid. During kidney dialysis, the constituents of the patients blood pass through the dialysis membrane with the exception of plasma proteins.
Can a person ever get off the kidney machine?
Usually, someone on dialysis has little or no kidney function. The only way to fix this is through a successful kidney transplant.
How a dialysis bag is similar a cell membrane?
I think you mean Dialysis. Dialysis filters blood in your kidney for you when you go under kidney work or your kidneys doesn't function like its suppose to. You usually can live off of one kidney, but if your last kidney goes out(Kidney Failure) then they can you up to a dialysis machine and filter your kidneys for you. Hope this helps =]
Which blood component do the kidney's filter?
Red blood cells
Why Is selectivity needed for filtration?
the process of filtration is very important in certain cells of the body . it happens when the fluid forces paticles through filtering membranes its a major part of the kidney function.
Why is a dialysis membrane used in a kidney dialysis machine?
A dialysis machine tries to mimic some of the functions of a human kidney. One of the primary jobs of a kidney is to remove urea and certain salts from the blood so they can exit the body in urine. In a dialysis machine, blood from the patient runs through tubes made of a semi-porous membrane. Outside the tubes is a sterile solution made up of water, sugars and other components. Red and white blood cells and other important blood components are too large to fit through the pores in the membranes, but urea and salt flow through membranes into the sterile solution and are removed.
The major kidney function that cannot be performed by artificial dialysis membranes is to?
reabsorb Na+, K+, glucose, and other molecules
The process of the kidney taking out the impurities from the blood?
The kidney removes impurities from the blood in two ways. These processes are known as ultra filtration and selective reabsorption. The active component of the kidney involved with filtration is the nephron.
Trace the paths of sperm in a male and eggs in a female frog?
Kidney first then through the anus then out onto the eggs.
How does Mercury damage the kidney permenantly?
Mercury is toxic. Once absorbed, by breathing (vapor), by contact through the skin, or by ingestion, mercury generally accumulates in the brain and in kidneys.It is a very toxic metal, much more than lead, especially in the vaporous state.Easily soluble in blood and fat, it quickly goes through cell membranes, and through the placentary barrier.Once in blood, mercury is easily distributed through the membranes to the organs. Once in the cell, it turns into divalent ionic mercury (HG2+), a inorganic mercury form which is very reactive.As a filter, the kidney retains the mercury (in the proximal tubul) and reabsorbs it.------------------------------------------------------------Any improvement will be welcome, I'm french and not familiar with technical and medical jargon.
