The first part of digestion would be as soon as you use your sense of smell‚ which triggers your salivary glands to secrete saliva. Once you take your first bite‚ your saliva increases even more. You then break down the food by chewing. Even more saliva

on both sides of the spine (National Kidney Foundation‚ 2010). They have multiple working units called nephrons. “Nephrons consist of a filtering unit of tiny blood vessels called a glomerulus which is attached to a tube” (National Kidney Foundation‚ 2010). In the filtering process‚ “the blood enters the glomerulus in which it is filtered and the remaining fluid goes through the tubule‚” in which chemicals and water are added or removed depending on what the body requires. The excess fluid is then

P4 – Explain the role of the kidney in the homeostatic control of fluid balance Homeostasis is how our body works to keep the internal environment constant. The kidneys play a role in the control of fluid balance. For this assignment I will be discussing the gross anatomy of the renal system and the kidney. Renal System The renal system is a group of organs that work together to produce‚ store‚ and release urine. It consists of 2 kidneys‚ ureters‚ the urinary bladder‚ urethra and renal vessels which

Practical 2: Observation of mammalian kidney model and tissue slides. Analyzing kidney filtration using simple filtration system Introduction: Kidney is part of mammalian’s body endocrine system. Every mammals have a pair of kidneys that is located at the middle back of the body and symmetrically beside the spine and below the rib cage. A kidney approximately 0.5% of the organism body weight. Every kidney will receive huge amount of blood to enable them to perform important task. The base unit of

in charge of different aspects of urine production. When urine is being formed‚ there are three processes that must occur. The first step that occurs is filtration. In this step‚ diffusion occurs under high pressure because blood is moving to the glomerulus of the nephron through the afferent blood vessel. The lumen size of the vessel becomes immediately smaller‚ so when substances in the blood are being filtered out‚ they are pushed through by a high pressure. The kidney at this point is simply trying

Like a sunny side up egg. Can be found in glomerulus of kidney‚ walls of capillaries‚ alveoli of lungs. Allows for diffusion easily. Ciliated – Tall cells with small finger-like projections.

of Urinary System The urinary system consists of the kidneys‚ ureters‚ urinary bladder‚ and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes and produce urine. The ureters‚ urinary bladder‚ and urethra together form the urinary tract‚ which acts as a plumbing system to drain urine from the kidneys‚ store it‚ and then release it during urination. Besides filtering and eliminating wastes from the body‚ the urinary system also maintains the homeostasis of water‚ ions‚ pH‚ blood pressure‚ calcium
