KIDNEY SUMMARY AND EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ALL CORRECT & 100%
VERIFIED ANSWERS|ACTUAL COMPLETE EXAM
1. Name 3 examples of how the a layer of fat - protect against mechanical
kidney is adapted well for its
functions in the body dam- age
a good blood supply - ensures concentration
gra- dients for dittusion are maintained
ditterent sized blood vessels going in and
2. how much blood is filtered over out of the glomerulus - give a high blood
24 hours through the kidneys pressure for ultrafiltration
18o litres
3. what is ultrafiltration The forcing of liquid out from the blood
capillaries
(1) ; into the Bowman's capsule (1); due
to the high blood pressure in the
glomerulus (1); resulting from the fact that
the arteriole feeding into the knot of
capillaries is wider than the arteriole leav- ing
the glomerulus (1).
4. kidney infections damage the lining of Podocytes provide an extra filter (1);
preventing
the bowman's capsule . how might this any large proteins forced out of capillaries
from
result in protein in getting into filtrate in tubule (1); if the
urine podocytes are damaged by infection, the
structure will break down (1); and proteins
can get through into the kidney tubules (1);
they are not reabsorbed in the tubules (1) so
will be lost in the urine (1).
5. suggest 3 possible factors affecting the amount of protein eaten
