Why is aquaporius important?
Aquaporins are essential membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and, in some cases, small solutes across cell membranes. They play a critical role in maintaining cellular hydration, regulating osmotic balance, and supporting various physiological processes such as kidney function and plant water regulation. By enabling efficient water movement, aquaporins contribute to processes like nutrient absorption and waste removal, making them vital for the overall health and function of living organisms.
What are common ailments of the kidney?
Kidney stones. Kidney failure.
Is kidney gfr of 60 normal?
A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 60 mL/min is considered to be at the lower end of the normal range, indicating mild kidney impairment. Normal GFR values typically range from 90 to 120 mL/min. A GFR of 60 may suggest a need for further evaluation, especially if there are other signs of kidney dysfunction or risk factors present. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a comprehensive assessment.
What organ maintains the water and solute homeostasis?
The liver maintains water and electrolyte balance of the blood.
How does the kidney helps in controlling the concentration of substance?
The kidney is a filter system for the blood. If the concentration of a substance is too high (i.e. there are drugs in the blood), then the kidney filters all of that out of the blood to form urine.
Explain Why fluid flows from the capillaries of the kidneys into the kidney tubules?
because the fluid pressure in the capillaries is higher than that of kidney tubules
What is the degeneration of kidney tubules called?
Nephrosis
What tubules make up the kidney?
Nephrons
Where are all the proximal and distal convoluted tubules of the kidney located?
If you are talking about the proximal/distal convoluted tubules. Then you are talking about a kidney, and in between them is the nephron loop or the Loop of Henle
What structure of kidney contains the collecting tubules?
medulla
What is the medical term meaning degeneration of the kidney tubules?
Nephrosis
What is tubular kidney disease?
Tubular kidney disease-- Disease of the kidney that affect the tubules, the part of the kidney that allows certain substances to be reabsorbed back into the blood
What does the medullla in the kidney do?
the renal medulla contains capillaries and urine forming tubules
Are aquaporins in all parts of the body?
They are found on the surface of eukaryotic cells
Do casts come from the tubules the calyces or the ureters?
Casts are formed in the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the nephron in the kidney. They are made up of protein or cellular material that becomes trapped in the renal tubules and is then washed out into the urine, where they can be detected.
Where do you find simple cuboidal tissue?
Description; single later of cube-like cells with large, spherical central nuclei.Function; secretion and absorption.Location; kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface.
Why we can't see the glumerular capsules convoluted tubules kidney loops or collecting ducts individually?
glomerular,capsules,Convoluted tubules ,kidney loops are the parts of Nephron... Nephron is the basic unit of a kidney.... group of nephrons constitute the kidney.. so you can't see all of them as individuals... I think you may have got your answer... Thanks.
