Kidneys

They can be. the uric acid crystals that are formed in the blood that cause gout can setle in the kidney and interfere with its opperation, gout can also be responsible for forming stones.

Urine flows through the kidneys

absorption of ions, organic molecules, vitamins, and water

yes

each kidney is protected by 3 outer layers

1) the renal fascia - a tough external coat of fibrous connective tissue

2) the adipose capsule - a layer of fatty tissue

3) the renal capsule - another fibrous layer

I am on my way to see a friend and his mother for both are about to have operations tonight. My friend was born with one kidney and that kidney is a bad one. It gave him problems through his whole life. His mother made a brave decision to give her one of her kidneys. Some of the procedures they took is to find a insurance that will cover 1 million dollars. Its what I've heard. It's not a cheap operation so you will need good insurance to back you up. Jesus, sorry that's all the information i can provide. Well what seemed like it. Good luck.

Because the right kidney is just below the liver and left kidney below spleen.

Liver being larger in size on right side pushes right kidney a little downward, but such an action is not taken by spleen because of its small size on left side.

The kidneys of a frog, like those of other animals, filter wastes from the blood, regular blood pressure, and maintain various balances within blood. They're often a dark color, and in frogs they're located at the lower back.

It is called the Renal Cortex and is the layer found between the Reanl Capsule and Renal Medulla. It is the outer reagion of a kidney nad is colloured light red.

Renal Cortex accomodates the Glomerular capsule, largest part of nephrone, arterioles, veins and capillaries. Most filtration processes occur in this part of Kidney.

A metanephric kidney is the functional kidney of adult amniotes, that is, the reptiles, birds, and mammals. It occupies a more caudal position in the body cavity and is a much larger, more compact structure containing many tubules. It is drained by a ureter.

Tubules are the tubes running through each little (microscopic) nephrons within each kidney that aid in filtering and collecting of the waste products, and then depending on how much water is in the body it either can reabsorb more water or more salt depending on your electrolyte balance. :-D

Well, The Liver Is Apart Of the Digestive System. So What That Means That Is Works With The Gallbladder, Spleen, And Pancreas ( As Far As I Know)

The average size of an adult human's kidneys are about 11cm long and about 6cm wide.

Kidney failure results in death in a few days, usually less than a week, unless the person receives a kidney transplant or is put on a dialysis machine.

The Appendix is located in the Right Lower Abdominopelvic Quadrant

Kidney is an organ of our body. The Kidney is an important Excretory organ in the body which helps in separating waste matter from the blood stream and purifies blood by helping in passing of urine.

You have two of them, and they are able to take over from one another. So if one kidney is so severely damaged or deseased that it even has to be removed, the other kidney will simply take over. If both kidneys are so severely damaged or deseased that they stop functioning you can live on, but you will have to undergo kidney dialysis in hospital several times a week for the rest of your life or until you get a kidney transplant.

Minor damage or desease in your kidneys usually responds well to medical treatment.

It is the sodium in salt that is the problem. Your body removes unwanted fluid by filtering your blood through your kidney. This requires a balance of sodium and potassium to pull the water across the wall from the bloodstream into a collecting channel in the kidney. A high salt diet will alter this sodium balance. This causes the kidneys to have reduced function and so less water is removed and this results in higher blood pressure. High blood pressure is not good for you generally but it is especially not good for people with kidney disease.

The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.

I am looking for the same answer too.... so I am not sure if I am right...

My book says that simple squamous epithelium is used at the filtration membrane of the kidney i guess that they are implying the glomerular capsule but I am not sure.

However it does make sense as simple squamous allows for rapid diffusion of material.

The glomerulus

You can possibly die because your body can not flush out all the waste and urine.

Alternate answer:

If a kidney transplant fails the patient does have other options but action should probably be taken as quickly as possible. The failure of a kidney transplant means that the patient will either have to have another transplant or they will have to go back on dialysis until something else can be done. People can live normally with only one kidney.

Your kidneys are located just above the small and large intestine. If you feel your lower back, they are just above the buttocks and they filter the blood of any toxins or unwanted substances.
