1. The functional unit of the kidney, or the structure in the kidney that does the work, is the ANS Nephron 2. A nephron is made up of ANS A glomerulus and a tubule 3. The endocrine functions of the kidney includes ANS Making erythropoietin and the active form of vitamin D 4. The leading cause of End-Stage Renal Disease for adult in the United States is ANS Diabetes 5. Patients with kidney failure often complain of itching, which is likely to be caused by ANS Hyperphosphatemia 6. Why d...

kidney functions - ANSWER filter plasma and excrete toxic metabolic wastes; regulate blood volume, pressure, and osmolarity via water output; regulate electrolyte and acid-base balance; secrete erythropoietin; regulate Ca2+ homeostasis and bone metabolism by participating in synthesis of calcitriol; clear hormones and drugs from blood; detoxify free radicals; and help support glucose level in conditions of extreme starvation waste - ANSWER any substance that is useless to the body or present ...

Bound hormones are considered to be apart of: - the hormone reserve __________ __________ travel in the blood stream attached to a carrier protein - bound hormones __________ cells create glucagon in response to _______ blood sugar levels - alpha, low ___________ cells create somatostatin - delta a bound hormone can't work on a target cell because..... - the protein increases the size making it too big to cross the capillary wall towards the target cell a calorigenic effect results in - ...

In patients with elevated calcium levels a lower dialysate concentration will be needed to remove excess calcium. Conversely, if patients need calcium, a dialysate concentration of 3.5 mEq/L will provide calcium to the patient. Initial therapy to raise the serum calcium level is through both calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Describe the kidney's role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis - Answer- The kidney is instrumental in excreting excess phosphorous and producing the active for...
