Document Summary

Kidney controls total amount of volume in body- determine how much you pee out. By controlling loss, control concentration of salt, sodium, potassium, chloride, etc. control acid base balance- most output of metabolism is acidic. If increase acid take in or produce, increase amount it dumps out. Also, where dump soluble wastes- nitrogenous wastes- which come from: [nucleasis dna rna and proteins]. Bad to have high ammonia in body- toxic. At high concentration, urea also toxic: fluid compartments, 2/3 body is water. 2/3 of that is intracellular (within the cells). 1/3 of it is extracellular (out of cells). If look between blood and interstitial fluid, most things same concentrations in two, except for proteins (little in interstitial fluid). Most are in same concentraiton in blood an extracellular fluids, except protein. Across plasma membrane, huge difference- primary cation sodium, less calcium. All need to be close to osmotic equilibrium, but not exactly. Not sucking fluid back and forth a lot.
