People need kidneys because the kidney filters the waste substance out of your blood and balances the levels of salt and water, when your body has taken the nutrients from food some of the of the waste products are sent back to your blood, so your kidney will filter continuously so that your blood will not contain the waste substances, in general your kidney is a "Filter/Cleaning Staion" for your blood, if you didn't have kidneys the waste products will build up in the blood and severely damage your body, the other functions that your kidney does is balance volume of fluids and minerals in your body. The substances that have been filtered form your kidney are mixed with water and are transformed into urine ( Pee ). Kidneys also produce Vitamin D and help regulate your blood pressure and the simulate the production of red bloods cells so in conclusion the importance of the kidney is very important.

Poverty's after effects can persist in a kid into adulthood, resulting in chronic sickness, a lack of education, or the inability to find employment. More than merely skipping meals is a result of poverty. Families deal with ongoing hunger, malnutrition, and food instability.

Which information flow is disrupted when diabetes destroys insulin-producing cells?
hjlf

Answer:

INSULIN producing cells are called beta cells in the Pancreas. The second cells are alpha cells which produce GLUCAGON ,

The function of Inslulin is to aid the entry of glucose through GLUT transporters 1 and 4 into the cells, by coordinating the breakdown of glycogen to glucose.(While glucagon ensures conversion stored glycogen to glucose )

When these beta cells are destroyed, cells are starved of glucose. since  glucose can not enter the cells as  INSULIN which regulate cascade event for the influx is  absent.

This leads to depletion of liver glycogen,  reduction in liver glycolysis,reduction in muscle glucose uptake, and liver glycogen fatty acid synthesis

Therefore Glucose accumulate in the blood stream ,  raising the solute potential of the blood  in relation to the plasma.

This lead to l massive excretion in the kidney  due to inability of the proximal tubule to reabsorbed  the excess glucose . A  lot is lost in urine leading to polyuria,(excess urination),  thirst from dehydration, and hyperphagia  ( high hunger , because body cells are starved of glucose}

The body compensate for this with gluconeogensis,by breaking down  Non carbohydrate molecules  triglycerides to Glucose,with ketone build up in the liver, inhibition of activities of Glucagon
