Question
Chapter 11.4, Problem 3CYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The action of the kidneys in the regulation of body fluid pH and also determine its importance in the homeostasis.
Introduction:
The formation of urine depends upon the ultrastructure of the nephron that changes based on the function of the segment they are in. The process is completed by three-step; filtration, reabsorption and secretion. The reabsorption is the mechanism in which water and solutes are transported back into the bloodstream. It plays a pivotal role in several homeostatic processes, including the reabsorption of sodium chloride and potassium secretion.

Summarize the role of the kidneys in maintaining acid–base balance
Explain how the heart, kidneys, and several glands all work together to cause the excretion of more sodium ions in the urine when a person has eaten salty food?
Draw a schematic diagram showing the flow of water and salts in the proximal tubule of the kidney. In this diagram, put the lumen on the left side of the diagram and the extracellular fluids on the right side of the diagram. Indicate where the lumen is, where the extracellular fluid is, where the apical portion of the cell is, and show the location of the proteins that are responsible for the movement of water and salts and glucose reabsorption in this area of the kidney
