What symptoms occur in first stage for a diabetic?
Excessive thirst (polydipsia) and production/passage of large volumes of urine (polyuria)
What is the medical term meaning diminished or lack of urine production or secretion?
Diminished or scant urine production is oliguria. Anuria is absent urine production.
What is anuria?
Anuria means lack of urine production (or extremely low urine production).
The processes of filtration and reabsorption that occur in the nephron lead to the formation of?
Urine formation in the kidney
Is excessive urine production?
Not sure
What is the the microscopic structure of the functional unit of the kidney and the of urine production?
The microscopic, functional unit of the kidney and the site of urine-production is the Nephron.
Does blood regulate urine production?
the kidneys regulate urine production by monitoring blood levels of water and electrolytes (amoung many other things) in the plasma
What is the difference between diuresis and polyuria?
Diuresis is the increased production of urine by the kidneys, while polyuria is the excessive passing of urine due to various causes such as diabetes or certain medications. In other words, diuresis refers to the process of increased urine production, while polyuria is a symptom characterized by excessive urine output.
What is the combination of glomerulus and renal tubule where urine is formed?
The combination of the glomerulus and renal tubule where urine is formed is known as the nephron. The glomerulus filters blood to produce filtrate, which then passes into the renal tubule, where reabsorption and secretion occur to form urine. The nephron's structure allows for the efficient regulation of water, electrolytes, and waste products, ultimately resulting in the production of concentrated urine.
When does cold diuresis occur?
Cold diuresis occurs when the body experiences cold temperatures, causing blood vessels to constrict and increasing blood pressure, which can lead to an increase in urine production.
An athlete produces large quantities of sweat as a result the kidneys change the rate of urine production?
An athlete produces large quantities of sweat as a result the kidneys change the rate of urine production. This is because decreased urine production increases the amino acids in the blood.
An increase in urine production could cause?
Increased urine production does not cause a condition. Rather, it is a symptom caused by a disorder; most typically, diabetes mellitus.
