How does the structure of a nephron directly relate to function of the kidney

Biology
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
4 0
Nephrons are the filtering structures of the kidneys. The kidneys contain millions and millions of these tiny filtering structures that are responsible for cleaning the blood. Nephrons are responsible for removing excess water, wastes, and other substances in the blood that are not needed by the body. They also return necessary substances (e.g. sodium, potassium, phosphorus) whenever the body runs low in supply.  

If these nephrons are damaged, blood will not be properly filtered. As a result, the kidney will have different diseases and this might lead to kidney and multiple organ failure.       <span> </span>

Which phase occurs 14 days after a solar eclipse?
mezya [45]

Answer:

Full moon phase

Explanation:

After 14 days, the moon is now 180 degrees away from the Sun, with the Sun, Earth and Moon forming a straight line. The moon is now fully illuminated by the Sun, so this is called the “full moon phase.” This is the only time during the entire month when the Earth's shadow could be close to the moon.

Hope this helps! have a wonderful day!

Compare what life would be like living with sickle cell anemia versus living with tay sachs disease
Fantom [35]
<span>If I didn't know I had tay sachs (a genetic neurodegenerative condition), I would be terrified because of what I would perceive as a dysfunction of my brain. Once I were diagnosed with it, I would know there isn't any cure or treatment. I'd know that it would cause me to have a range of issues, such as paralysis, seizures and dementia. All of these would absolutely diminish my quality of life, both physically and emotionally, and shorten it. On the other hand, the effects on me of sickle cell anemia (a red blood cell disorder) would be comparatively less severe. It is treatable and manageable through diet, exercise, medication and other measures. The main symptions are pain, swelling and fatigue. Although the quality of my life would be significantly altered, at least I would feel I had options to mitigate its effects.</span>
