Question
Chapter 23, Problem 14TYK
Summary Introduction
To analyze: The condition of the patient J, whose kidney has been damaged and this caused the proteins to be removed from the blood. The reason for the effect on the osmotic pressure of the blood in capillaries, compared with that of the surrounding interstitial fluid and the reason for the development of the swelling in Juan’s arms and legs.
Introduction:
The infection and damage to the kidneys of the patient has caused the removal of the plasma proteins from the blood. The movement of the ions, metabolites and nutrients takes place from the tubules to the interstitial fluid across the aquaporin channels in the membrane. The net effect of the force developed due to the blood pressure and the osmotic pressure causes the movement of the ions and metabolites inside the interstitial fluid. This causes the development of the swelling in the arms and legs, due to the accumulation of the plasma proteins in the blood after its removal from the kidney cells.

define the term osmoregulation and why would it be important for living things to be able to osmoregulate their bodies?
High blood pressure often is accompanied by kidney damage. In somepeople the kidney damage is subsequent to the high blood pressure, but in others the kidney damage is what caused the high blood pressure. How would a low-salt diet enable you to determine whether the high blood pressure or the kidney damage came first?
In patients with diabetes mellitus, not enough insulin is produced; as a consequence, blood glucose levels increase. If blood glucose levels rise high enough, the kidneys are unable to absorb the glucose from the glomerular filtrate, and glucose "spills over" into the urine. What effect does this glucose have on urine concentration and volume? How does the body adjust to the excess glucose in the urine?

- Part A Why is control over blood [Ca2+] and [Red Blood Cell] crucial? Choose one hormone involved in either of these homeostatic systems that regulate the concentration of these ions/cells and describe how it functions in homeostasis. Remember to include the name of the gland that secretes it. Part B Choose one molecule that is reabsorbed by the nephron and describe the process by which it is reabsorbed.arrow_forwardThe “Renal Vein” cup contains now contains “clean” blood.

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.arrow_forward
