Chapter 20, Problem 14P
Summary Introduction

To define:

The renal plasma threshold.

Concept introduction:

Nephron is the basic functional unit of the kidneys. Each nephron begins at the Bowman’s capsule where the afferent arterioles enter into it to form a tuft of capillaries called glomerulus. The afferent arterioles exit the capsule through the efferent arterioles.

The hydrostatic pressure that is built inside the glomerulus promotes the filtration of blood that produces the glomerular filtrate. The glomerular filtrate is then passed through the renal tubules where the essential substances are reclaimed while non-essential substances are eliminated in the urine.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
