Which technique removes impurities from the bloodstream because the kidneys are no longer able to?
Dialysis is a technique used to remove impurities from the bloodstream when the kidneys are no longer able to function properly. This process involves filtering the blood through a machine that performs the function of the kidneys, such as removing waste products and excess fluids from the body.
Why do our kidneys have a higher blood flow than the brain?
The kidneys have a higher blood flow than the brain because their main function is to filter blood and remove waste products from the body. This requires a large amount of blood to be processed by the kidneys. In contrast, the brain's main function is not filtration but instead relies on a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients for energy.
This organ removes nitrogenous wastes from the blood of fish.?
The organ that removes nitrogenous wastes from the blood of fish is the kidney. Fish primarily excrete ammonia, a nitrogenous waste product, directly into the water through their gills and urine produced by the kidneys. The kidneys help regulate the concentration of salts and water in the body, contributing to osmoregulation in aquatic environments.
Is regulate filtration a function of blood?
Yes, regulating filtration is a function of the kidneys in the blood. The kidneys help to filter out waste products and excess substances from the blood, while also maintaining the balance of essential chemicals like electrolytes and water.
Are mitochondria cells like kidneys?
In shape they are tubular with rounded edges.In function they are like power houses
How does the function of kidneys in saltwater fish differ from their function in freshwater fish?

Is secretion a function of kidneys?
Yes, but in mammals it is a minor function. (In salt water fish it is their major function.)
How does the function of kidneys in saltwater fishes differ from their function in freshwater fishes?
Blood wastes are filtered by the kidneys. Saltwater fish lose water because of osmosis. Their kidneys return water to the body. The reverse happens in freshwater fish: they to gain water osmotically. Their kidneys produce dilute urine for excretion.
Is secretion a function of muscle?
Yes, but in mammals it is a minor function. (In salt water fish it is their major function.)
What is the function of the kidneys in a chicken?
The kidneys of a chicken function the same way the kidneys do in a human body. Their function is to filter blood to remove waste and regulate electrolytes.
What happens to the fishes kidneys if they are in salt water?
If the fish are fresh water fish the kidneys would not work. The fish would die.
What is the function of the kidney in chickens?
The kidneys of a chicken function the same way the kidneys do in a human body. Their function is to filter blood to remove waste and regulate electrolytes.
What is the function of Arcuate arteries of the kidneys?
They drain unfilterd blood from the body into the kidneys
What is the function of the cortex of the kidneys?

Does fish has kidneys?
The same thing any animals' kidneys do. They filter out impurities from the blood so they can be excreted. More importantly in fish, the kidneys are a major organ to help maintain osmotic balance with their environment. In freshwater fish, they retain salts in the blood of the fish (since the fish is hyperosmotic to its environment, the salts want to diffuse out, and lots of water wants to move into the fish) while they are constantly urinating because of the net movement of water into the fish. In SW fish, the kidneys help move OUT extra salts taken in when the fish drinks seawater, because the salts want in and the water wants out (the fish is hypo osmotic to the seawater).
How does sweating help the kidneys function?
Sweating helps the kidneys function by removing excess salt and water from the body, which reduces the workload on the kidneys and helps maintain a healthy balance of fluids and electrolytes.
Do your kidneys function better when laying down?
This will depend on the person. For some people, kidneys do indeed function better laying down at night.
