Fxns of Kidneys in Homeostasis 1. Excretion of metabolic waste products and foreign chemicals 2. Regulation of Water and electrolyte balance 3. Regulation of Arterial pressure --long term: excreting variable amounts of sodium and water --short term: secreting vasoactive factors or substances such as rennin 4. Regulation of Acid-Base balance --the only means of eliminating sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid 5. Regulation of Erythrocyte Production --secretion of erythropoietin

completed experiments each had the objective of understanding how various factors may have an influence on blood flow rate. These factors include the effect of blood vessel radius‚ the effect of blood viscosity‚ as well as the effect of blood vessel length‚ and the effect of blood pressure. This better understanding of cardiovascular dynamics was achieved with PhysioEx 9.1. Hypothesis: Hypothesis- Activity 1: Studying the Effect of Blood Vessel Radius on Blood Flow

Filtration is commonly the mechanical or physical operation which is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass. Oversize solids in the fluid are retained‚ but the separation is not complete; solids will be contaminated with some fluid and filtrate will contain fine particles (depending on the pore size and filter thickness). Filtration is also used to describe some biological processes‚ especially in water treatment and sewage
