Answer:

Nephron is the functional unit of kidney. The kidney contains around 4 to 5 million of nephrons in their structure. These nephrons helps in the blood filtration.

The loop of Henley passes down the filtrate for the production of urine. The excess salt is removed from the loop and deposited in the medullary part of the kidney. This is important as the nephron can now become hyperosmotic  medullary concentration and helps in the urine production.

What happens to the total population when the birth rate is at 40 and the death rate is at 15?
Trava [24]

If the birth rate in a population is 40, and the death rate in that population is 15, then the population will be experiencing growth. The growth will be 25 on every 1,000 people. If this trend continues for longer period, then the population will start to become younger and younger, making the basis of the population pyramid wider, while the top part of it smaller and smaller. This demographic situation in modern times seems to be present only in the less developed countries, with the majority of the transitioning countries having much decreased population growth, and the more developed countries having more deaths than births, thus being aging populations.

In which sections or section of the kidney is the urine formed? 

The final product of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion which is the urine is primarily formed in the renal medulla although the formation of the urine starts with the filtration of blood in the glomerulus then along the proximal tubules, descending and ascending loop of Henle, distal tubules, and collecting ducts. 


What section of the kidney collects the urine? 

The renal pelvis is the main section of the kidney that collects the urine. The renal pelvis arises from the confluence of the collecting ducts forming the renal papilla then the minor calyx and the major calyx and ultimately to the renal pelvis to be transported to the urinary bladder through the ureters.


How does the urine move from the kidney out of the body? 

The urine will be collected in the renal pelvis. With the urine collected in the renal pelvis, the urine moves from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder through the ureters and will be stored in the urinary bladder. When there is an urge to urinate, the urinary bladder contracts and the urethral sphincter relaxes that allows passage of the urine from the bladder out of the body through the urethra.


In which main regions of the kidney are the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule located? 

The glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule are part of the renal cortex. These organs are responsible for the filtration of the blood from the afferent arteriole. The glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule are not synonymous but rather the glomerulus comes from the afferent arteriole and the Bowman’s capsule functions as a filtration membrane. Together, they are called the renal corpuscle.


In which main regions of the kidney are the collecting ducts and the loop of Henle located?

The collecting ducts are located in the renal medulla whereas the loop of Henle are partly in the medulla, depending on the type of nephron. In superficial cortical nephrons, the dips only up to the outer medulla while in the juxtamedullary nephrons, the glomerulus is near the corticomedullary border wherein more parts of the loop of Henle is in the medulla.
