Kidney Function Introduction and definition of terms: The kidneys are the main organs in the urinary system. They filter waste products out of blood from the renal artery. These are then excreted. Useful solutes are reabsorbed into the blood. They also have a major homeostatic role in the body, and help to control the water content (osmoregulation) and pH of the blood. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism. Excretion is the removal

include, the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and the urethra. This paper will go into depth about the Anatomy and Physiology of The Urinary System and will explain what each of the four parts do for the body. It will also, include some diseases the urinary system can have. To begin, the anatomy of the Urinary System is composed of the Kidneys, the ureters, the bladder, and the urethra. The kidneys look like beans and are located in the posterior wall of the abdominal region, the kidneys filter waste
pig's blood from its fetus to its placenta. It is at the pig's placenta where it exchanges waste in return for nutrients with the mother's blood. The Umbilical Vein transports the blood back from the placenta to the fetus. Activity #1- External Anatomy Our pig is a male because the urogenital papilla
system’. It is made up of two kidneys, two ureters, a urinary bladder and a urethra that produce, store and then excrete urine out of the body. For the purpose of this assignment the structure and functions of the urinary system will be explored focusing on the kidneys, in order to explain the importance of maintaining homeostasis. Homeostasis is the regulation of internal processes and substances that maintain a constant internal environment within the body. The kidneys lie on the posterior abdominal
The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from the body fluids of an organism, so as to help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent damage to the body. The dual function of excretory systems is the elimination of the waste products of metabolism and to drain the body of used up and broken down components in a liquid and gaseous state. In humans and other amniotes most of these substances leave the body as urine and to some degree exhalation
describe the kind of homeostasis involved. Fluid balance is the balance of input and output of body fluids in the body. Electrolyte balance is a concentration of electrolytes in the body that are controlled by a variety of hormones and most are in the kidney and adrenal glands Martini (2014). Acid-base balance is maintained 3 ways: chemical buffers (phosphate, carbonic-bicarb, and protein), respiratory system, renal system (Martini, 2014). Why does maintain fluid balance in older people
on the kidneys that the overconsumption of alcohol can cause. Throughout the essay, I am going to identify and discuss the different effects that alcohol abuse can cause to the renal apparatus. In this essay, I am going to identify the different changes that can happen at different levels. Ethanol can affect the regulation of the different electrolytes, hormones and the concentration of substances that need to be either reabsorbed or secreted. Alcohol can also cause changes in the anatomy of the
the amount of water in your blood, osmolarity makes sure to maintain fluids in our blood in such that our cells are in isotonic state and pressure. The kidneys secrete two hormones, renin controls the blood pressure and erythropoietin (EPO) causes the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. Metabolic waste in the blood are regulated in the kidneys defaulting the regulation of acid/base balances in the blood by producing urine and becoming acidic. 2. Nitrogenous waste is the elimination of metabolic
ATP, which is the “energy molecule.” Ketones are produced as part of the process. When people eat fewer carbohydrates, more ketones are generated. Some of these ketones (acetoacetate and B-hydroxybutyrate) are used for energy; the heart muscle and kidneys prefer ketones to glucose. Most of the cells in the body can use ketones as part of their energy. However, this is not true for acetone which cannot be used, and is excreted as waste mostly in the urine and breath. Sometimes a metabolic condition

SYMPTOMS Cystitis signs and symptoms often include: A strong, persistent urge to urinate. A burning sensation when urinating. Passing frequent, small amounts of urine. Blood in the urine. Passing cloudy or strong-smell urine. Discomfort in the pelvic area.
Purpose/Abstract A minks body function has similarities as a humans body, therefore, we use minks as a understanding of the human anatomy. Introduction Anatomy classes often use minks for dissection to help teach students about the anatomy of a body. Dissections are the cutting apart and separation of tissue and it is useful and follows comparative anatomy, the study of different species similar to the human body. Mink dissections are useful because they teaches students through visually and hands
UNIT 1: INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY Introduction What is Anatomy? Anatomy is the science that studies the body. What is Physiology? Physiology is the science that studies the function of the body What is homeostasis? Anatomy and Physiology are closely related because each tissue, organ, system in the body has a function. All the body organs and systems in your body work to maintain the proper function of your body in equilibrium (homeostasis) using positive and negative feedback mechanisms • Example
The Anatomy of a Roller Coaster To adequately understand the relationship between physics and roller coasters, it is essential to first describe and explain the basic structure of roller coasters. In simple terms, a roller coaster is much like that of a passenger train. To explain, a roller coaster consists of a series of connected cars that move on tracks. However, unlike a train, a roller coaster has no engine, or rather a power source of its own. There are two major types of roller coasters
Many people have told me that my educational career goal is difficult to achieve, and it most likely is. I have dreamed of becoming a doctor since I was seven years old and now, I am one step closer. I will be majoring in Biomedical Science (Pre-Professional Concentration) at the University of Central Florida in hopes of attending Medical School. As of right now, I am deeply considering the career path of an Obstetric Gynecologist. During the summer of 2014, I attended the National Youth Leadership
Anatomy and physiology are a vital part in the medical coding and billing process. Without knowledge of them the modern day medical coder and biller would experience difficulty taking care of business effectively. The new ICD 10 codes are more elaborate and complex than the ICD 9 codes. Understanding anatomy and physiology will help to eliminate costly mistakes and keep the profit flowing in the right direction. Understanding Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy is the area of science that deals with the
Bone breaks are caused by trauma which is caused by a fall or an accident. It can also be caused by osteoporosis which is the thinning and weakening on the bone tissue. This would cause bone breaks as the weak bone will not be able to absorb any impact which would result in bone breaks. (Parker, 2005) The final common cause of bone breaks is overuse of the bone. This is the repeated motion of the limb which can tire the muscles surrounding the bone which will then put more force on the bone during

The break down of medical school is students spend most of the first two years of medical school in laboratories and classrooms, taking courses such as anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, psychology, medical ethics, and the laws governing medicine. They also gain practical skills, learning to take medical histories, examine patients, and diagnose illnesses. The last two years medical students work with
Introduction: Applying for medicine is well known for being one of the most competitive degrees to embark upon. Universities look for outstanding students who excel within their studies and have a passion for studying. There are several methods of getting into medicine, however some methods are ideal whilst some aren’t. Thousands of students apply for medicine every year, making it a very a difficulty and competitive course to get into. Therefore, this makes medicine a significantly controversial
and the thinking process. The treatment of choice today will be a historical topic of discussion tomorrow, and the thought we have today may be the treatment tomorrow. My interest for neurology grew since the first year of medical school. The anatomy of brain and the area numbers, the physiology of neurological pathways and the chemistry of the neurological hormones! It was all so fascinating and I pursued my curiosity to read neurology. During the clinical years, it was neurology that gave me
