How do you think the wastes substance in the blood such as urea is removed from the blood?
I think they must be removed by a dialysis machine.

Why Blood cannot flow out during dialysis process?
during dialysis the blood is is flowin through a closed system
What substances in the blood pass through the partially permeable membrane into the kidneys?
As the dialysis fluid has no urea in it, there is a large concentration gradient - meaning that urea moves across the partially permeable membrane, from the blood to the dialysis fluid, by diffusion. This is very important as it is essential that urea is removed from the patients' blood.
What is dialysis in biology?
Dialysis of the blood to remove toxic substances or metabolic wastes from the bloodstream; used in the case of kidney failure
What is the process called where urea and other waste materials are removed from the blood during kidney dialysis?
This process is called hemodialysis.
Will the red and white blood cells and platelets which make up the blood be removed in dialysis?
yes!
What can be done to ensure the sugars and amino acids and certain amounts of salts are not remove from the blood by dialysis?
Keep the concentration of these substances in the dialysis fluid same as in the blood, and they won't diffuse out.
What happens during kidney dialysis?
Toxins and waste are filtered from the kidneys
What are two types of dialysis?
There are two methods of dialysis in use: hemodialysis (blood dialysis) and peritoneal dialysis (dialysis in the abdominal cavity). In hemodialysis, the dialysis membrane is made up of cellophane or other synthetic material that assists in the removal of impurities from the blood by their passage through these semipermeable membranes in a fluid bath. In peritoneal dialysis, the surface area of the peritoneum acts as the membrane. Dialysis fluid is introduced into the peritoneal cavity and then periodically removed along with the waste products. This procedure may be done at intervals throughout the day or during the night.
Which solutes diffuse from patient's blood during dialysis?
urea
In the mock dialysis activity what was the only solute removed from the beaker representing the patients blood?
Urea
