Chapter 25, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The kidneys are the organs of the urinary system that function to eliminate the metabolic waste from the body. It is also concerned with the production of urine.
The kidneys eliminate harmful substances such as urea, toxins and some drugs from the body. The failure of the kidneys to eliminate these substances from the body can result in death of an individual due to toxicity.

- Shortly after you drink a large glass of water, you will feel the urge to urinate. Explain this observation. Begin by tracing the path of water, starting at the stomach, and ending with the arrival of urine in the bladder.arrow_forwardHigh 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?arrow_forwardWhy are humans not able to meet their water requirements by drinking seawater? Assume seawater has a concentration of 1400 mOsM. In your explanation, consider both the renal system and the digestive system. Additionally, describe the physiology of two symptoms of excessive seawater consumption that occur prior to death.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardIf a person has a very high protein diet, what substances/compounds would likely be increased in their urine?

- A pt was born with a rare genetic disorder in which the proximal tubules of her nephrons express half the number of aquaporins as normal. What will result? A. reduced reabsorption of water, although as much reabsorption of Na+ as is typical? b. reduced reabsorption of water, Na+ and glucose in the proximal tubules? c. Reduced reabsorption of both water and Na+ in equal proportions? D. Reduced reabsorption of all materials in the proximal tubules.arrow_forwardWhich organ serves as the storage organ for the excretory system? a stomach b bladder c ureter d kidneyarrow_forwardHow would damage to the renal capillaries resulting in an increase in protein filtration and urinary excretion affect net filtration pressure in the systemic circulation? a.
