What region of the kidney you would find glomerular capsules?
The bowman's capsule collects the filtrate and it enters the tubules. All glucose is reabsorbed immediately into the blood capillaries. As the rest of the filtrate travels through the tubules water and salts needed by the body are reabsorbed into the blood capillaries.yo yo
Which scenario is most likely to occur if the mitochondria in the kidney cells were to decrease in function?
If the mitochondria in kidney cells were to decrease in function, it would likely lead to reduced ATP production, impairing the cells' ability to perform essential functions such as filtration and reabsorption. This could result in decreased kidney efficiency, leading to fluid and electrolyte imbalances, and potentially causing renal dysfunction or failure. Additionally, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species due to impaired mitochondrial function could further damage kidney tissue.
How does the form of the epithelial tissue making up the renal tubules follow its function?
This all has to do with the urinary system. Epithelial tissue helps to protect all organs and aide in production. This would make it help the renal tubules help the kidneys do their functions.
What would happen if we didn't have a kidney?
If we didn't have a kidney, our body would not be able to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins and fluids that can be life-threatening. Dialysis or a kidney transplant would be necessary to sustain life.
If you lose a kidney you can still survive and lead a normal life with one kidney because?
You can survive with one kidney because it can do the work of both! However, people living with one kidney have to be very cautious of their lifestyle choices as leading an unhealthy life would lead to kidney failure faster than a person with two kidneys.
What is left renal agenesis?
I would assume it mean absent of the left renal function or kidney
Which blood vessel- renal artery or renal vein- would have the cleanest blood?
The renal vein would have the cleanest blood because the kidney would have filtered out the poisons so the blood is clean. Arterial blood has foreign substances in it.
What is the medical term meaning liver failure?
Renal failure (although I'm pretty sure kidney failure would suffice). To be honest, as a medical term Kidney Failure is "medical" enough. If you want to be a bit more medical then you would want to say Renal Failure. And then depending on whether it's acute or chronic then you would want to say Acute Renal Failure or Chronic Renal Failure. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is another term. And just in case you're interested, it used to called Renal Insufficiency but that term is not really used anymore.
What arteries supply the kidney?
Your renal arteries supply the kidneys with blood while the renal veins take it away back to the heart.
If a substance is neither filtered reabsorbed nor secreted at the kidney where would you expect to find it?
blood in the renal vein
What would cause a sharp tingle pain in the kidney region that increases when you sit or lay down?
Your kidney fell asleep
Why would my doctor order a cat scan for a possible kidney problems?
To check for any number of kidney related problems. Some common things seen on a CT scan of the kidneys: * Kidney stone(s) * Hydronephrosis (Enlargement of the kidney due to a blockage usually) * Renal Cysts
What is a renal diet and does it help with weight loss?
If you have kidney problems or are on dialysis, then you would need a special diet or "renal diet" to strengthen your kidneys. This isn't really a diet for weight loss but a specialty diet for someone who has unhealthy kidneys.
How long would it take to bleed out from a gun shot wound causing a Ruptured renal artery in dogs shot in abdominal region?
Given the renal arteries receive 25% of cardiac output, it would probably not take very long.
Does a kidney strain have long term affects?
Clearly dietary protein effects GFR [50], with both acute and chronic .... protein intake would have a longer time to renal failure and suggested that a lower ... to the kidney and represent the physiological "strain".
What is the description of end stage renal disease?
The end stage of renal disease is rather horrid for patients with end stage renal disease. Patients who suffer with end stage renal disease would in no way be able to continue with any form of daily life.
Would red blood cells be present in the renal filtrate?
Not normally - red blood cells are quite large and should be above the glomerular filtration size threshold. Blood in the renal filtrate will by default result in blood in the urine due to an inability of the kidney to reabsorb it and this is pathlogic.
