What else can I help you with?
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
The processes of filtration and reabsorption that occur in the nephron lead to the formation of?
Urine formation in the kidney
How could a large kidney stone block urine flow?
It is never normal for a kidney stone to block your urine, however it does happen. When a stone blocks the flow of urine, treatment needs to occur soon so kidney or ureter damage doesn't occur.
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 the maximum possible urine concentration?
The maximum urine concentration is limited by the osmotic gradient between the kidney tubules and the surrounding interstitium. The ability to concentrate urine depends on the proper functioning of the kidney's loop of Henle and collecting ducts to establish and maintain this osmotic gradient. Additionally, factors such as hydration status and certain medical conditions can also affect the maximum urine concentration.
How do you measure urine concentration?
Urine concentration can be measured using a urine specific gravity test or a urine osmolality test. These tests help to assess the amount of solutes in the urine, which reflects the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine. High concentration levels may indicate dehydration, while low levels may suggest overhydration or kidney issues.
What is an abnormal high concentration of protein in urine called?
An abnormal high concentration of protein in urine is called proteinuria. It can be a sign of kidney damage or other underlying health conditions. If persistent, it should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
Where is urine excreted in the kidney?
excretion of urine does not occur in kidneys. Urea and wastes and urine are filtered in the renal corpuscle of the nephron tubule in the kidney. The wastes that are secreted into the tubules and not reabsorbed travel down tubules to urethra and excreted outside of body by urination.
The loop of Henle is located in which structure?
The loop of Henle is located in the kidney, specifically in the renal medulla. It plays a crucial role in the process of reabsorption and concentration of urine.
Is producing urine in the kidney a Chemical change?
No. The urine is not produced in the kidney. The kidney is a filter.
What happens to your urine after getting kidney damage?
In some instances, kidney damage (especially trauma) can cause hematuria (blood in the urine) and the urine can turn a reddish color. In other instances, a visible change in urine output and color does not occur. It depends on the type and severity of the particular condition.
Where does urine production occur?
urine is produced when you drink alot of water and your bladder pees out a clear yellowish color. =D
