Explain the function of the nephrons?
Nephrons basically assist the kidneys with some of its functions. Its main function is to regulate the concentration of water and sodium salts. It does this by filtering the blood.
Function of nephrons?
The chief function of nephrons is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances (electrolytes) by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.
What would happen to human blood if put in salt water?
If human blood is put in salt water, the water molecules in the human blood will lead to the lower concentration of water molecules. This process is called diffusion- water molecules going from high concentration to low concentration.
In human the organ the most directly regulates the concentration of the water in the blood?
the kidney's most directly regulate the concentration of water in blood.
Is there any other examples of homeostasis?
Other examples of hoemeostasis include:=blood sugar (glucoregulation)==and==osmoregulation; the control of water concentration in blood and body fluids. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/education/bitesize/higher/biology/control_regulation/negative_feedback1_rev.shtml)=
Blood protein that maintains the proper proportion and concentration of water in blood?
albumin
Does pH control the relative concentration of CO2 in water?
No. Rather, the CO2 concentration controls the pH. Other factors control concentration, such as temperature, pressure, contamination, and availability of CO2.
What is osmosis function?
This is the movement of water particles from an are of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a partially permeable membrane.
What is the function of the nephrons in pig kidneys?
Nephrons have the same function in all kidneys. They allow the excretion of water, sodium and urea to form urine. They serve the function of removing waste chemicals such as metabolites and drugs from the body. Excretion of sodium and water is also important in the nephron as it allows the kidney to control blood pressure and blood volume.
What affects the concentration of sodium in the blood?
The concentration of sodium in the blood plasma depends on two things: the total amount of sodium and water in arteries, veins, and capillaries
How does water function in your body?
by blood circulation
Would osmosis have a higher concentration of water molecules distilled water or red blood cells?
distlled water
