To discuss:
Fluid deficiency, two types of fluid deficiency, differences, and their consequences.
Introduction:
The proper composition and balance of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base are required to regulate the cellular functions of the body. The urinary system,
Fluid balance: Equal maintenance of fluid gain and loss, as well as proper distribution of fluid in the body.
Electrolyte balance: Equal maintenance of absorbed electrolytes by the small intestine and loss of electrolytes through the urine in the body.
Acid-base balance: Maintenance of the stable body pH.

Examine how the gross and histological structure of the kidney facilitates urine production during 1) glomerular filtration, 2) tubular reabsorption, and 3) tubular secretion.arrow_forwardMembrane Transport disorders associated with the renal systemarrow_forwardGout—a condition that results in joint swelling and pain—iscaused by the formation of sodium urate (NaC5H3N4O3) crystalswithin tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Sodium urate precipitatesout of blood plasma when uric acid levels become abnormallyhigh. This can happen as a result of eating too many rich foodsand consuming too much alcohol, which is why gout is sometimesreferred to as the “disease of kings.” If the sodium concentration inblood plasma is 0.140 M and Ksp for sodium urate is 5.76 * 10-8,what minimum concentration of urate results in precipitation?arrow_forward
