What do you mean by tubular secretion?

Fred was diagnosed 6 months ago with liver cancer.  His liver is no longer able to make the necessary amount of proteins needed by the body.  What effect, if any, would this have on the net glomerular filtration rate? (Hint, decide which of the 3 forces contributing to the net filtration rate is affected.  Then adjust numbers in the equation to determine if there is an increase, decrease, or no change to the net filtration rate).   Group of answer choices A) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. B) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. C) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. D) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. E) There would be no effect on the net glomerular filtration rate.

The part of the nephron whose epithelial cells contain the longest microvilli and the most mitochondria is the (a) glomerular capsule (podocytes), (b) proximal tubule, (c) thin segment, (d) distal tubule.

What do you mean by artificial kidney?

you want the kidney to excrete more Na+ in the urine,what do you want the blood flow to do?

1. Site of filtrate formation? 2. The structure that conveys the processed filtrate (urine) to the renal pelvis? 3. Blood supply that directly receives substances from the tubular cells? 4. The primary site of tubular reabsorption? 5. Two substances thta are routinely found in filtrate but not in the urine product? 6. Which has greater specific gravity: 1 ml of urine or 1 ml of distilled water?

What organs make up the urinary system? What is the function of the ureters? What is the function of the bladder? What is the function of the urethra?

Drinking seawater cannot prevent death by dehydration. What would result if humans attempted to alleviate their dehydration by drinking seawater? justify your answer by describing kidney physiology. why wouldn't reflexes, in response to dehydration, fully compensate and what does this illustrate about the force allowing kidneys to retain water under nromal conditions?

What do you mean by selective reabsorption?

The [Select ] layer of the ureters and urinary bladder is lined with [ Select ] epithelium.
