What else can I help you with?
What area of the nephron is the site of hydrogen ion excretion?
The distal convoluted tubule is the primary site of hydrogen ion excretion in the nephron. It plays a key role in maintaining acid-base balance by secreting excess hydrogen ions into the tubular fluid for excretion in the urine.
What is the effect of hypoalbuminemia?
Hypoalbuminemia can result in kidney or liver failure. It can also cause lowered oncotic pressure and swelling throughout the body.
Increased secretion of aldosterone would result in a .... blood ph....?
Decreased blood pH. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased hydrogen ion secretion as a compensatory mechanism to maintain electrolyte balance. This can result in acidosis, leading to a lower blood pH.
What is the hormone that kidneys will secrete to stimulate red blood cell production?
Erythropoetin from the mesangial cells of the glomerulus in the nephron of the kidney. These cells detect altered levels of oxygen in the blood plasma.
Which condition is the result of crystallization of salts in the urine?
kidney stones
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone and as a result it will bind to a receptor that?
Aldosterone binds to mineralocorticoid receptors, which are located in the cytoplasm of target cells. Upon binding, the aldosterone-receptor complex translocates to the nucleus where it acts as a transcription factor to regulate the expression of specific genes involved in electrolyte balance and blood pressure regulation.
Is a result and an effect the same?
No. The effect is what happens as a result of something . For instance if you run a stop sign (result) the effect can be an accident. Think cause and effect.
What can kidney problems result from?
Some kidney problems are the result of another disease process, such as diabetes or hypertension.
Is a result and an effect the same thing?
No. The effect is what happens as a result of something . For instance if you run a stop sign (result) the effect can be an accident. Think cause and effect.
If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?
The tumor would cause increased secretion of glucocorticoids and decreased aldosterone production, leading to increased sodium and water retention in the kidneys. This would result in increased urine volume and decreased urine concentration, leading to dilute urine with low sodium levels.
What is the difference between result and effect?
A result is what you get from doing something. An effect is what happens because of that result.
What happens when renin is released from the kidneys?
Blood pressure increases due to the constiriction of the vessels under the effect of Angiotensin and also under the effect of aldosterone which increase the reabsorbtion of sodium and therefore water from renal tubules.
