About the kidneys , you have any doubts, please click on this sentence, I'll give you the answer
If you were to cut a kidney in half, you would see the following parts:
If you were to cut a kidney in half, you would see the following parts:
- Renal Capsule - a thin, outer membrane that helps protect the kidney
- Cortex - a lightly colored outer region
- Medulla - a darker, reddish-brown, inner region
- Renal Pelvis - a flat, funnel-shaped cavity that collects the urine into the ureters
If you look closely at the cortex and medulla, you can see many tiny, tubular structures that stretch across both regions perpendicular to the surface of the kidney. In each kidney, there are one million of these structures, called nephrons. The nephron is the basic unit of the kidney. It's a long, thin tube that is closed at one end, has two twisted regions interspaced with a long hairpin loop, ends in a long straight portion and is surrounded by capillaries.
The parts of the nephron are as follow :
- Bowman's capsule - This closed end at the beginning of the nephron is located in the cortex.
- Proximal convoluted tubule or proximal tubule - The first twisted region after the Bowman's capsule; it's in the cortex.
- Loop of Henle - A long, hairpin loop after the proximal tubule, it extends from the cortex down into the medulla and back.
- Distal convoluted tubule or distal tubule - This second twisted portion of the nephron after the loop of Henle is located in the cortex.
- Collecting duct - This long straight portion after the distal tubule that is the open end of the nephron extends from the cortex down through the medulla.
Each part of the nephron has different types of cells with different properties -- this is important in understanding how the kidney regulates the composition of the blood.
The nephron has a unique blood supply compared to other organs:
- Afferent arteriole - connects the renal artery with the glomerular capillaries
- Glomerular capillaries - coiled capillaries that are inside the Bowman's capsule
- Efferent arteriole - connects the glomerular capillaries with the peritubular capillaries
- Peritubular capillaries - located after the glomerular capillaries and surrounding the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and distal tubule
- Interlobular veins - drain the peritubular capillaries into the renal vein
The kidney is the only organ of the body in which two capillary beds, in series, connect arteries with veins. This arrangement is important for maintaining a constant blood flow through and around the nephron despite fluctuations in systemic blood pressure.
Regulating the composition of the blood involves the following:
- Keeping the concentrations of various ions and other important substances constant
- Keeping the volume of water in your body constant
- Removing wastes from your body
- Keeping the acid/base concentration of your blood constant
The kidney does this by a combination of three processes:
- It filters 20 percent of the plasma and non-cell elements from the blood into the inside of the nephron (the lumen).
- It reabsorbs the components that the body needs from the lumen back into the blood.
- It secretes some unwanted components from the blood into the lumen of the nephron.
Anything (fluid, ions, small molecules) that has not been reabsorbed from the lumen gets swept away to form the urine, which ultimately leaves the body. Through these processes, the blood is maintained with the proper composition, and excess or unwanted substances are removed from the blood into the urine.
Hiv disease for the last 3 years and had pain hard to eat and cough are nightmares,especially the first year At this stage, the immune system is severely weakened, and the risk of contracting opportunistic infections is much greater. However, not everyone with HIV will go on to develop AIDS. The earlier you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be.I started taking ARV to avoid early death but I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.As a Hiv patent we are advise to be taking antiretroviral treatments to reduce our chance of transmitting the virus to others , few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information on Hiv treatment with herbal medicine, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Hiv her name was Achima Abelard and other Herpes Virus patent Tasha Moore also giving testimony about this same man,Called Dr Itua Herbal Center.I was moved by the testimony and i contacted him by his Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com OR info@drituaherbalcenter.com. We chatted and he send me a bottle of herbal medicine I drank it as he instructed me to.After drinking it he ask me to go for a test that how i ended my suffering life of Hiv patent,I'm cured and free of Arv Pills.I'm forever grateful to him Drituaherbalcenter.Here his contact Number +2348149277967...He assure me he can cure the following disease..Hiv,Cancer,Herpes Virus,Hpv,Pile,Weak Erection,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy, ,Bladder Cancer,Colorectal Cancer,Breast Cancer,Kidney Cancer,Leukemia,Lung Cancer,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Lupus,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer, fibromyalgia ,ALS,Hepatitis,Copd,Parkinson disease.Genetic disease,Fibrodysplasia disease,Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome,Stroke,Hpv,Weak Erection,Liver/Kidney Inflammatory,Men/Woman infertility, bowel disease ,Huntington's disease ,Diabetes,Fibroid...
