Urea and ammonia increase because water is reabsorbed from the nephron,
making the urea more concentrated.

Where does filtration of blood occurs?
glomerulus
menstruation occurs when?
When estrogen and progesterone levels are low, shedding of the endometrial layer (menstruation) occurs.
Normal menstruation occurs when?
When estrogen and progesterone levels are low, shedding of the endometrial layer (menstruation) occurs.
Diabetes effects which endocrine gland?
HYPERGLYCEMIA;is the condition in which increased levels of blood glucose are found.this generally occurs during diabetic condition caused due to deficiency of insulin bec of various reasons.generally in presence of insulin it causes decrease in blood levels of glucose.due to its absence, cells get glucose deficiency although they are surrounded by glucose bec insulin acts as a key to cell for its uptake.as a result increase in blood glucose levels occurs.in order to prevent hyperglycemia insulin supplements are to be taken.this condition also occurs due to excess secretion of glycogen.this increase glucose levels of blood.
Define glomerular filtration rate Name and describe the pressures which are effective at the glomerulus under normal conditions and result in glomerular filtration?
Glomerular filtration is a passive process in which hydrostatic pressure forces fluids and solutes through a membraneThe glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is directly proportional to the net filtration pressure and is about 125 ml/min (180 L/day).The glomeruli function as filters. High glomerular blood pressure (55 mm Hg) occurs because the glomeruli are fed and drained by arterioles, and the afferent arterioles are larger in diameter than the efferent arterioles.
What is the name of the cluster of capillaries in the kidney where filtration occurs?
The cluster of capillaries that in the kidney where filtration occurs is called the glomerulus.
Where does filtration of blood occurs?
glomerulus
Is ammonia synthetic or natural?
Ammonia occurs naturally, but for our purposes it is usually synthesized.
What always occurs down a hydrostatic pressure gradient?
Filtration
What is the ball of specialized capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs?
a ball , tightly coiled capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs
Give three short term effects of exercise and explain why they occur?
Increase in breathing rate - occurs to allow the replenishment of ATP/ glycogen stores and blood oxygen levels Increase in heart rate - occurs to allow the transport of oxygen to working muscles and to reoxigenate blood Increase in rate of perspiration - Occurs to increase cooling of the body and As a by product of the chemical reaction of energy
Where and how does process of glomerular filtration occur?
it occurs in the glomerulare (Bowman's) capsule.
How can you diffuse ammonia fumes from a broken ammonia bottle?
Diffusion occurs naturally, and technically they are not fumes. Fumes are the condensates of metals. Ammonia vapors are what you smell.
What causes a cosmological redshift?
A redshift occurs when the wavelengths increase in objects by light or electromagnetic radiation levels in an object. In cosmological redshift also has to do with light; however, instead of an increase in wavelengths, there is an expansion of the universe.
Where does filtration occurs in the kidney?
On the top on the kidney.
How can ammonia be made?
Ammonia occurs naturally via certain biological processes, but industrially it is made by heating nitrogen and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst.
What is reaction between silver iodide and ammonia?
2AgI+2NH3 give you 2AgNH3 + I2.Reaction only occurs when ammonia (NH3) is added in excess.
