Document Summary
Describe the different nitrogenous waste products of vertebrates. Describe the structure and function of the parts of the mammalian kidney urine and becomes hypotonic (remove nacl) the blood plasma pass from the capillaries of the glomerulus into the capsular space of the nephron. Glomerulus - capillary fluid exchange process in which water and some solutes in. Bowman"s capsule - encloses glomerulus; drains into proximal convoluted tube. Distal convoluted tube - concentrates the filtrate. Medulla - traversed by long loops of renal tubules and by collecting ducts that carry. Descending loop of henle - filtrate becomes more concentrated. Ascending loop of henle - impermeable to water, filtrate becomes less concentrated. Collecting duct - carries urine to renal pelvis. Renal papillae - from where ureter develops. Ureter - carries urine away from the kidneys into the urinary bladder. Dip test strip, remove excess urine, color match. Specific gravity is a measure of density. Conduct a urinalysis to diagnose a patient condition.
