3. The purpose of this research was not to test the functionality of the transplanted kidneys, but whether or not the human body would reject them. Why are the researchers excited that the kidneys produced ‘robust’ urine and were able to withstand the higher human blood pressure exerted on kidneys in a human body
2. Using concept of homeostasis, explain how the kidneys are involved in controlling fluid osmolarity.
2. Are all vertebrate animals capable of producing a concentrated urine like you are? Why or why not?
