What hormone stimulates erythopoesis?
Erythropoiesis is the process of creating red blood cells, and it is stimulated by a reduction in O2 during circulation.
What regulate sodium ion concentrations in the extracellular fluid?
Kidneys are the main organs, witch manage electrolytes balance, water balance, acid base balance, help regulation of blood pressure through rennin angiotensin aldosterone mechanism and attach hydrogen atom to position one to make active form of it. It also secrete the hormone called "Erythropoitin", witch stimulates formation of red blood cells. You have about 0.150 mole of sodium chloride in extra cellular fluid with calcium in much lower concentration and potassium chloride in intro cellular fluid in about 0.150 mole concentration with magnesium in very low concentration.
Does Electrolytes regulate sodium ion concentrations in the extracellular fluid?
Electrolytes do not regulate anything. They fallow the rules of Nature. Yes. Kidney is the main organ, witch manage electrolytes balance, water balance, acid base balance, help regulation of blood pressure through rennin angiotensin aldosterone mechanism and attach hydrogen atom to position one to make active form of it. It also secrete the hormone called "Erythropoitin", witch stimulates formation of red blood cells. You have about 0.150 mole of sodium chloride in extra cellular fluid with calcium in much lower concentration and potassium chloride in intro cellular fluid in about 0.150 mole concentration with magnesium in very low concentration.
What are the primary structures and functions of the human excretory system?
You have two bean shaped stuctures placed in postrior abdominal wall. They are retroperitoneal. Right kidney is slightly lower than left due to liver on right side. It is 3*2*1 inches in dimentions. On cross section you can see the cortex and medula. You have minor and major calices. Microscopically, you have one million of nephrons in each kidney. There you have glomerulus, descending and ascending loops of henley and collecting ducts. From cortex to medula, you have higher concentration of salt. for this lot of energy is spent. Brain is the organ, which is most vulnerable to excess of toxic products of metabolism. That is serum urea. To excreate urea, kidney filters out 180 liters of fluid each day and more than 178 liters are reabsorbed. That is the main function of kidney. It also regulates the water balance of body. It maintains the pH balance of body. It maintains the salt balance of the body as well. It has endocrines functions as well. By secreating 'Renin' hormone, it activates the renin angiotensin aldesteron mechanism to increase the blood pressure if challenged. It also secretes hormone erythropoitin to stimulate the production of red blood cells. It also converts the 25 hydroxy cholecalciferol to 1,25 cholecalciferol or calcitriol.
What is the function of erythropoitin?
It stimulates red blood cells production.It is produced in kidneys.
What organ produces erythropoitin?
Kidneys produce this hormone.It stimulates production of red blood cells.
What hormone is secreted and from which organs that stimulate red blood cell production?
erythropoitin secreted from kidneys stimulate rbc production.
What hormone stimulates erythopoesis?
Erythropoiesis is the process of creating red blood cells, and it is stimulated by a reduction in O2 during circulation.
How does your kidneys fight diseases like malaria?
You have breakdown of red blood cells in malaria. your kidney produces the hormone called as erythropoitin. This helps in formation of red blood cells. This way kidney helps in fighting malaria for longer period.
What organ regulates erythrocyte production?
Kidneys Erythropoietin in the bone marrow is responsible for creating Red Blood Cells.
Why is there a difference between men and women hematocrit level?
Because a hormone testosterone secreted only in males is also responsible for stimulation of hormone erythropoetin secreted from kidneys. Erythropoetin is responsible for synthesis of rbcs. So males have higher hematocrit than that of females. Women have estrogen! It is a natural inhibitor of erythropoitin (a hormone secreted by the kidneys to erythropoiesis in the bone marrow), on the other hand, testosterone is an activator.
What practices do health care workers need to be aware of when working with Jehovah witness?
Nurses must know that active and faithful Jehovah's Witnesses will not accept blood or blood products into their bodies. They will, however, accept transfusions of non-blood alternatives and blood volume enhancers (such as saline solution, Ringer's Lactate, erythropoitin-EPO, iron supplementation, etc.). Please do some research about the dangers of blood transfusions.

Why does chronic renal failure usually result in anemia?
Certain cells in the kidney (juxtamedullary apparatus) detect blood flow to the kidney, so the body can measure the volume of blood and the amount of red blood cells in it. When the number of red blood cells in the blood gets too low, this is called anaemia. When this happens, the juxtamedullary cells detect it and can stimulate the release of a hormone called erythropoetin, which causes the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. This corrects the anaemia. Erythopoetin is also produced naturally (when not anaemic) to maintain normal numbers of red blood cells. As the juxtamedullary cells are part of the kidney, when the kidney fails, they do too. They lose their ability to produce erythropoetin. The bone marrow stops producing normal numbers of red cells and anaemia can result.
