CER 3C Part A: The Kidney and Homeostasis
The cells of the human body are surrounded by liquid that is constant in its properties. The continuous regulation of the many dissolved compounds in this internal environment is referred to as homeostasis. The kidney plays an important role in the homeostasis by regulating blood composition and by regulating the levels of many important chemicals. The production of urine and its elimination from the body are critical functions of the kidneys in the urinary system. Based on the data given, it could be concluded that when unfiltered blood enters the kidney, it is being rid of its waste, essentially filtering it. The blood travels through the nephron, which then sends the filters blood out of the kidney,

    Human body and its health problems had been unknown for centuries until the evolution of the medical field in the late 1800s which lead to a rise in the average life expectancy from thirty six to a sweeping seventy eight. Then specialists started to identify the structure and the function of each organ. That’s when they found how important some organs as well as the human body cannot work properly without it. The kidney is one of those organs due to how fundamental it can

    The functions of the human cardiopulmonary system can be broken down into two, circulatory system and the respiratory system. The main goal of these two systems is to maintain homeostasis in our body. Homeostasis can be described as a type of condition where the internal continuity of an individual has to keep steadiness, regardless of any external changes from the outside environment. External changes from the outside environment may include factors such as excitement, stress, exercise, diet, and much more. Exercise can be carried out because the human body can endure a high level of exercise during a prolonged period of time.

Indicates dynamic state of equilibrium, or a balance, in which internal conditions vary, but always within relatively narrow limits. In general, the body is in homeostasis when its needs are adequately met and it is functioning smoothly. 8) Describe how negative and positive feedback maintain body homeostasis.

    Q1 The organs involved in the homeostatic system of salt regulation are pineal gland, pituitary glands, thyroid gland ,thymus, adrenal, pancreas, ovary and testis. All our bodies removes uneeded fluid by filtering your blood through your kidney, via osmosis, to draw excess water out of your blood. This requires a balance of sodium and potassium to pull the water across the wall from the bloodstream into a collecting channel in the kidney. A high salt diet will alter this sodium balance, causing the kidneys to have reduced function and remove less water resulting in higher blood pressure.

    Homeostasis is the body's method of keeping internal stability no matter what external influence disturbs its normal functioning (Anna, 2011). And the respiratory system is one of the systems in the body that helps to maintain homeostasis by maintaining pH and regulating gas exchange. The main function of this system is take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. This system has external respiration and internal respiration. External respiration is a mechanical process that exchange of gases in and out of the body, while internal respiration is the chemical process that breaking down nutrients with oxygen to produce energy.

    All of our cells, organs and tissues depend on water to help regulate homeostasis. Homeostasis is when our cells seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability internally as it deals with environmental external changes. Because water plays many important roles in the overall maintenance of the body, some of the functions of it include: regulates body temperature, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, lubricates joints, helps dissolve minerals and other nutrients , and most importantly it also moistens tissues like the mouth, eyes and nose. Dehydration is when the body is deficient in water. Because the water in our bloodstream plays an important role in equally transporting cells and minerals throughout the body, when an individual is not getting enough water the cells in the body will begin to shrivel up and malfunction.

  • Eosin Experiment

    Eosin is an orange-pink dye that is used to stain tissues in the body while looking through a microscope (Bracegirdle, 2002). We mimicked the way in which blood flowed through the body by using a reservoir as the blood supply, attached to that, a plastic tubing with a clamp, which regulated the flow rate to which blood flowed in the body. This water running through the tubing, was caught in a large beaker where the eosin was added and further more being released into a smaller beaker. The way in which this experiment has been set up is similar to that of the clearance of a drug by glomerular filtration in the kidney. Glomerular filtration is the renal process whereby fluid in the blood is filtered across the capillaries of the glomerulus and urinary space of the bowman’s capsule (Mosby, 2009).

This can lead to many other sickness is well. “Every single hour the blood travels from the heart to the kidney for a cleansing process”. Kidney disease is caused by family history, this is because if kidney disease is in the family genes it is possible that everyone in the family can get it. Kidney diseases can lead to a high blood pressure because the body blood won't able to control the waste in the blood.

  • Homeostasis And External Environment

    In order to understand the relationship between homeostasis and the external environment, it is important to define homeostasis and the function that it performs for the body. Essentially, it concerns the property of the system of the body whereby various variables in the body are regulated to maintain stability of the internal body environment. Notably, the maintenance of internal stability has much to do with the response to the external environment. Homeostasis regulates variables in the body such as temperature as well as balancing between alkalinity and acidity in the body (Turner, 2008). All the organs in the body duly benefit from the process of homeostasis in different ways.

    Duplex Kidney Having a duplex kidney sounded very rare to me when I first read about it in my patient’s chart, but after doing some research, it is the most common congenital renal tract abnormalities. A duplex kidney is one kidney that has two separate collecting systems. This takes place as a fetus during development and two separate ureteric buds arise from a single duct resulting in the duplication of the renal pelvis draining via a single ureter or two separate collecting systems that drain independently into the bladder or ectopically (Duplex Collecting System). This condition occurs more often in women than in men and is most frequently diagnosed during childhood (Davda and Vohra, 2013).

    The first most important job it does is ensure that all cells in the body have the right amount of fluid so they do not shrivel and die. (Rinzler). The body also needs the proper amount of extracellular fluid which contain the other body fluids such as blood plasma, bodily secretions, and urine. Water is a solvent and is responsible for transporting nutrients and blood cells through the body. Even when the body is fully hydrated, red blood cells are about 94% water.
