Q. What is important functionally about the transitional epithelium of the bladder?
WHAT IS IMPORTANT FUNCTIONALLY ABOUT THE SPECIALIZED EPITHELIUM (TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM) IN THE BLADDER? THEY HAVE ABILITY TO SLIDE OVER ONE ANOTHER, THUS DECREASING THE THICKNESS OF THE MUCOSAL LAYER AS THE BLADDER FILLS & STRETCHES TO ACCOMMODATE THE INCREASED URINE VOLUME.
Q. How does the glomerular high pressure condition aid its function of primary urine formation?
How does its high-pressure condition aid its function of filtrate formation? It is both fed and drained by arterioles (which are high- pressure vessels compared to venules), and the afferent arteriole has a larger diameter than the efferent arteriole. The higher the capillary pressure, the more filtrate will be formed.
Q. What are the 4 steps of urine formation?
There are four basic processes in the formation of urine starting with plasma.
- Filtration.
- Reabsorption.
- Regulated reabsorption, in which hormones control the rate of transport of sodium and water depending on systemic conditions, takes place in the distal tubule and collecting duct.
- Secretion.
- Excretion.
Q. How much amount of urine is filtered by kidney in each day?
Each kidney weighs about 160 grams and gets rid of between one and one-and-a-half litres of urine per day. The two kidneys together filter 200 litres of fluid every 24 hours.
Q. How many times does kidney filter blood in a day?
The kidneys filter that blood about 40 times a day! More than 1 million tiny filters inside the kidneys remove the waste.
Q. Can you have 3 kidneys?
Having three kidneys is also known as a “duplex kidney,” from the Latin for “double.” According to the National Kidney Foundation, having three kidneys is relatively uncommon, and usually only discovered by accident.
Q. Has anyone been born with three kidneys?
Having three kidneys is extremely rare, LiveScience says, with fewer than 100 cases reported in literature, according to a report in the Internet Journal of Radiology. The 2013 report says most people don’t realize they have a third kidney until it’s discovered through an unrelated medical test, like this patient’s.
