What else can I help you with?
What would happen to the intracellular and extracellular concentration of urea if the kidney stopped functioning?
If the kidney stopped functioning, the intracellular concentration of urea would increase due to impaired excretion. In contrast, the extracellular concentration of urea would also increase due to the diminished clearance of urea from the blood.
Is sodium filtered through the blood?
Not sure what you mean by that, but sodium excretion and retention is regulated primarily by the kidney. Sodium isn't really filtered by the kidney, but what happens is that it is so small that it gets by the filtering mechanism of the kidney. The kidney then has special pumps and channels in the functional unit (nephrons) which then takes that sodium back in.
How does the kidney help in maintaining a normal concentration in cells?
kidney filters and maintain a normal concentration in cells toxics are wasted out as urine
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.
What factor limits maximum urine concentration?
The limit to maximum urine concentration is primarily determined by the ability of the kidneys to reabsorb water back into the body. The countercurrent mechanism in the kidneys establishes a concentration gradient that allows for water reabsorption up to a certain point, beyond which further concentration is limited by factors like hormones and kidney function.
Where in kidney urine concentration occur?
loop of henle(descending)
What organ is responsible for regulating the concentration of sodium and chloride in the body?
kidney
In human the organ the most directly regulates the concentration of the water in the blood?
The kidneys are the organs that directly regulate the concentration of water in the blood by filtering excess water and solutes from the blood to form urine. They also help maintain proper balance of electrolytes in the body by reabsorbing or excreting them as needed.
Which part of the kidney is reabsorption dependent upon the body's needs at the time and regulated by hormones?
Distal convoluted tubule
In humans the organ that most directly regulates the concentration of water in the bloods is the?
Kidney
What is an increase in extracellular fluid?
An increase in extracellular fluid refers to an accumulation of fluid outside of cells, primarily within the interstitial spaces and blood vessels. This condition can arise from various factors, including excessive fluid intake, heart failure, kidney dysfunction, or hormonal imbalances. It may lead to edema, characterized by swelling in tissues, and can affect overall fluid balance and blood pressure. Managing the underlying cause is crucial to restoring normal fluid levels.
Name substances that are eliminated or regulated by the kidney?
-Eliminated waste (metabolism - salts, toxins, and water - that end up in our blood),urea,hydrogen ions body-Regulated Bp, ph, blood phPlease comment!Ntun
