Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Metabolism of a human body inevitably produces a variety of unwanted or waste products. This waste product is not simply needed by the body. If it is allowed to accumulate in the body, it may produce harmful effects. These wastes are completely excreted from our body through digestive tracts, respiratory tracts, and by the sweat glands. The principal system that is involved in the excretion of waste is the urinary system. From the blood, the metabolic waste is removed by the kidney. The rest of the urinary system involves in the elimination of urine, storage, and for transport. The kidney plays an important role in controlling the blood pressure and blood volume.  Kidney physiology is administrated by certain principles. This includes osmotic pressure, down pressure, and electrochemical gradients. The stages of urine production and the role of the kidney (regulating urine concentration and fluid balance) mainly depend on concepts like osmolarity, tonicity, and osmosis.

Illustrate the process of bilirubin formation starting from red blood cell destruction. (Indicate where Unconjugated bilirubin and Conjugated bilirubin is formed. Draw a line separating pre-renal, renal and post-renal.)
The concentration of urea in urine is always much higher than the concentration in plasma. Does this mean that urea is secreted? Hint: remember that concentration is a ratio.
a) Explain what would happen in the absence of the vasa recta accompanying the loop of Henle in the renal medulla b)Explain the process of the urea cycle or trap and what is the purpose of maintaining high urea concentration in the renal medulla
