What else can I help you with?
In a kidney which blood component would not usually pass through the membranes?
In a kidney, large blood components such as red blood cells and most proteins typically do not pass through the filtration membranes in the glomeruli. This is because these components are too big to fit through the small pores of the filtration barrier. As a result, they remain in the bloodstream while smaller substances like water, electrolytes, and waste products are filtered out into the urine.
The dialysis membranes used in the treatment of kidney disease do not allow plasma protein molecules to pass?
The dialysis membranes used in the treatment of kidney disease do not allow plasma proteins to pass the dialyzing fluid. During kidney dialysis, the constituents of the patients blood pass through the dialysis membrane with the exception of plasma proteins.
Which solute did not appear in the filtrate using any of the membranes?
The solute that did not appear in the filtrate using any of the membranes is albumin. Albumin is a large protein molecule that is too big to pass through the pores of the filtration membranes in the kidney.
Can a person ever get off the kidney machine?
Usually, someone on dialysis has little or no kidney function. The only way to fix this is through a successful kidney transplant.
When drugs are absorbed through the small intestine do they pass through THE kidney?
Drugs absorbed through the small intestine enter the bloodstream and are then distributed throughout the body, including the kidney. Once in the kidney, drugs can be filtered, reabsorbed, or secreted depending on their properties, which can impact their elimination from the body.
How a dialysis bag is similar a cell membrane?
I think you mean Dialysis. Dialysis filters blood in your kidney for you when you go under kidney work or your kidneys doesn't function like its suppose to. You usually can live off of one kidney, but if your last kidney goes out(Kidney Failure) then they can you up to a dialysis machine and filter your kidneys for you. Hope this helps =]
Which blood component do the kidney's filter?
Red blood cells
Why is a dialysis membrane used in a kidney dialysis machine?
A dialysis machine tries to mimic some of the functions of a human kidney. One of the primary jobs of a kidney is to remove urea and certain salts from the blood so they can exit the body in urine. In a dialysis machine, blood from the patient runs through tubes made of a semi-porous membrane. Outside the tubes is a sterile solution made up of water, sugars and other components. Red and white blood cells and other important blood components are too large to fit through the pores in the membranes, but urea and salt flow through membranes into the sterile solution and are removed.
What region of the kidney would you find renal corpuscles?
the renal corpuscles are located in kidney but to say precisely it is located in nephron(blood filtering component) hope that it helped ^^
The major kidney function that cannot be performed by artificial dialysis membranes is to?
reabsorb Na+, K+, glucose, and other molecules
How do you treat a cold in your kidney?
You cannot get a cold in your kidney. You can however get an infection in it. A kidney infection is usually treated by prescribing antibiotics.
Are the membranes in a dialysis machine permeable or selectively permeable?
The dialysis membrane is selectively permeable because it doesn't allow all cells to go through it. Think of it as a kidney. When blood is sent to the kidney, the blood cells cannot fit through the dialysis inside the kidney, but the waste and bacteria in the cells do. So, The dialysis membrane is selectively permeable.
