What stimulates the kidney to produce red blood cells?
Kidney do NOT produce red blood cells (bone marrow does).
What type of tissue is the kidney made up of?
capsule tissue, cortex tissue, and medulla tissue
What happen to kidney if blood oxygen decrease?
I believe it causes the kidneys to secrete more erthyropoietin, a hormone that stimulates the synthesis of red blood cells in bone marrow.
What is renal polycystitis?
Renal polycystitis typically refers to Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). PKD is a genetic kidney disease that causes healthy kidney tissue to be replaced by numerous fluid filled cysts. The disease often leads to kidney failure in a patient's later years.
Tough outer lining that encases the kidney?
The renal capsule surrounds the kidneys. It is made of a tough connective tissue that also helps to protect them.
Hypoxia stimulates kidney cells to release?
Hypoxia stimulates kidney cells to release erythropoietin, which is a hormone that regulates red blood cell production. Hypoxia is a condition where a part of the body or brain is not getting sufficient oxygen. When this condition occurs, there is an increase red blood cell production.
Erthropoitein which stimulates red blood cell production is produced by the?
Erythropoietin, a hormone secreted by the kidney, stimulates the production of red blood cells. Almost all of the erythropoietin within the circulation is derived from the kidneys. Hypoxia is one of the main stimuli that induces erythropoietin secretion from the kidneys. In severe kidney disease, a decrease in erythropoietin production results in severe anemia.
What hormones stimulates proliferation of red blood cells in red bone marrow?
Erythropoietin, a hormone secreted by the kidney, stimulates the production of red blood cells. Almost all of the erythropoietin within the circulation is derived from the kidneys. Hypoxia is one of the main stimuli that induces erythropoietin secretion from the kidneys. In severe kidney disease, a decrease in erythropoietin production results in severe anemia.
What stimulates the kidney to produce red blood cells?
Kidney do NOT produce red blood cells (bone marrow does).
What tissue encloses the kidney?
Adipose tissue (fat)
What kind of tissue form the kidney?
Epithelial tissue
What hormone secreted by the kidney stimulates erythrocyte production in bone marrow?
Erythropoietin
What type of tissue is the kidney made up of?
capsule tissue, cortex tissue, and medulla tissue
What is the tissue found around the kidney called?
tissue cell
What is the connective tissue covering of the kidney?
Each kidney is held in place by connective tissue, called renal fascia, and is surrounded by a thick layer of adipose tissue, called perirenal fat, which helps to protect it. A tough, fibrous, connective tissue renal capsule closely envelopes each kidney and provides support for the soft tissue that is inside.
What would experience a decreased blood flow during exercise?
no it actually stimulates blood flow
What is the superficial region of the kidney tissue?
The renal cortex is the outermost, or most superficial, region of the kidney.
