Unit 5‚ P1: outline the functions of the main cell components Cell structure Functions of a human cell: Nucleus- Regulates all activity as it contains the instructions of the cell. Mitochondria- Creates energy for the cell by breaking down nutrients. This is called cellular respiration. Cytoplasm – semi-fluid that allows chemical reactions to take place and helps materials move around the cell. It is mainly made up of water and also contains enzymes‚ salts and organelles. Ribosomes- Produce

Excretion Notes 4.2.1 (a) Define the term excretion (b) Explain the importance of removing metabolic wastes‚ including carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste‚ from the body. Definitions: Excretion: “The removal of waste products of metabolism from the body”. Ingestion: “The intake of substances into the stomach”. Digestion: “The breakdown of molecules that are ingested from large molecules into small molecules”. Absorption: “The intake of those small molecules through the plasma membrane

involved. The infection extends from the ureter into the kidney‚ involving the renal pelvis and medullary tissue (tubule and interstitial tissue). Purulent exudate fills the kidney pelvis and calyces‚ and the medulla is inflamed. Abscesses and necrosis can be seen in the medulla and may extend through the cortex to the surface of the capsule. If the infection is severe‚ the exudate can compress the renal artery and vein and obstruct urine flow to the ureter. Bilateral obstruction is likely to result

Abstract The human body needs to maintain proper homeostasis to survive. There are several different organ systems in the human body. Two of those systems are the digestive system and the urinary system. Both systems remove waste from the body but in an entirely different way. They also maintain homeostasis within our blood stream. Both systems are critical for survival. This paper will describe how each of those systems works on its own and also how they work together to maintain homeostasis

Percutaneous Access TECHNIQUE FOR CREATING ACCESS TRACTS Prior to percutaneous needle insertion‚ the patient must be placed into the appropriate position. For most patients‚ this is either prone or proneoblique with the body side of the targeted kidney slightly elevated. These patient positions provide access to the posterolateral flank where the access tract originates. For practitioners using primarily fluoroscopic guidance‚ the operator’s hands are out of the vertical x-ray beam with the patient

calcitriol‚ erythropoietin‚ and the enzyme renin. Located at the rear of the abdominal cavity in the retroperitoneum‚ the kidneys receive blood from the paired renal arteries‚ and drain into the paired renal veins. Each kidney excretes urine into a ureter‚ itself a paired structure that empties into the urinary bladder. Renal physiology is the study of kidney function‚ while nephrology is the medical specialty concerned with kidney diseases. Diseases of the kidney are diverse‚ but individuals with
