Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The kidney plays a most important role in “urine production” and in maintain the hydration of body by producing “concentrated urine”. The kidney is composed of various parts which take part in urine formation.

- give a general description of the qualities or characteristics of urine.arrow_forwardIngestion of carbonated soft drinks, coffee, and tea instead of water has caused us to be chronically dehydrated. Discuss the impact of this dehydration on overall health and how concentrated urine, indicated by its yellow color, signals the need for more water consumption, while clear and colorless urine indicates that water intake is sufficient.arrow_forwardMake a sketch of ONE complete Nephron in the kidney and label to show the blood flow (mark with red) and urine flow in this nephron (you can also use arrow to indicate flow direction). Remember only ONE nephron in your kidney. show the correct location of this nephron (Cortical vs. Juxtamedullary Nephrons) in the entire kidney. show the correct blood tubings within the nephron (I should be able to tell afferent and efferent arteriole from your sketch; also your nephron is closely associated with two capillary bed )arrow_forward
