Chapter 1.4, Problem 8WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine: The organ system that is responsible for filtering blood and producing the urine in the body.
Introduction
Urine is the form of waste that is filtered out of the blood. It contains Urea as the major waste produced in the body. The filtration of the blood happens in the nephron which is the basic unit of the kidney. The filtration along with the reabsorption of the essential molecules happens at the nephron.

- Zach, a motorcycle rider, has his brakes suddenly fail; he rounds a corner and slams into the back of an SUV. His helmet keeps him alive, but he suffers a lacerated femoral artery from the broken glass; fortunately, the doctor is able to save him. Nevertheless, the rapid loss in blood volume causes a precipitous decline in blood pressure. Describe—at the cellular level, the nephron level, and all the way up to the systemic level—each of the steps the heart, the kidneys, and the CNS will take to counter this loss in pressure and the processes by which each of these steps will work. Furthermore, many smaller local blood vessels will also be ruptured by the glass; describe in detail how these vessels, and the blood flowing into them, will act to limit blood loss at this local level.arrow_forwardThe “Renal Vein” cup contains now contains “clean” blood.
