1- diffusion: It consists of the passage of the molecules of the solute, from the place of greatest to the place of lowest concentration, until establishing a balance. It is a slow process, except when the concentration gradient is very high or the distances covered are short.

2 - osmosis: Water moves freely through the membrane, always from the place with the lowest concentration of solute to the one with the highest concentration.

3 - active transport: In active transport, substances are transported with energy expenditure, which can occur from the lowest to the highest concentration (against the concentration gradient). This gradient can be chemical or electrical, as in the transport of ions.

4 - facilitated diffusion: Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport of substances across the cell membrane, which is supported by proteins. It occurs without expenditure of ATP, that is, without expenditure of energy.

5 - diffusion: It consists of transporting substances permeable to the membrane. These, in solution, can flow spontaneously from the inside of the cell or vice versa. This process occurs from a region with a higher concentration of particles to one with lower concentrations.

6 - active transport

7 - active transport

8 - exocytosis: process where the cell expels unnecessary substances from its interior resulting from its enzymatic processes.

Describe the structure of the kidney and include structure of nephron as well
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Generally, mammals have a pair of bran-shaped kidneys. The mammalian kidney has 2 distinct regions, an outer renal cortex and inner renal medulla. Both regions are packed with microscopic excretory tubules, nephrons, and their associated blood vessels. Each nephron consists of a single long tubule and a ball of capillaries, known as glomerulus. The blind end of the tubule forms a cup-shaped swelling called Bowman’s capsule, that surround the glomerulus. From Bowman’s capsule, the filtrate passes through 3 regions of the nephron which are proximal tubule, the loop of Henle. A hairpin turns with a descending limb and an ascending limb and the distal tubule. The distal tubule empties into a collecting duct, which receives processed filtrate from many nephrons. The many collecting ducts empty into the renal pelvis, which is drained by ureter.

For the structure of nephron, each nephron is supplied with blood by an afferent arteriole, a branch of the renal artery that subdivides into the capillaries of the glomerulus. The capillaries converge as they leave the glomerulus, forming an efferent arteriole. It is surrounded by the Bowman’s capsule. The double-walled epithelial Bowman’s capsule is formed by the invagination of the blind end of the nephron. The glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule form the first region of the nephron and is known as the renal corpuscle or the Malpighian body. The capillary walls are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells with openings between them with a diameter 50-100nm. These cells are pressed up against basement membrane which completely envelops each capillary, separating the blood in the capillary from the lumen of Bowman’s capsule. The inner layer of the Bowman’s capsule is composed of a cell called podocytes which have arms that give off structures resembling tube-feet called foot processes or secondary processes. The secondary processes support the basement membrane and capillaries beneath it and gaps between the processes (slit pores) facilitate the process of filtration. The Malpighian body leads into the remainder of the tubule.
