<h2>Urea </h2>

Explanation:

Urea is a small nitrogenous compound which is the main end product of protein catabolism in mammals

  • Urea is a nitrogen-containing substance normally cleared from the blood by the kidney into the urine
  • It is made predominantly in the liver from ammonia and bicarbonate and is one of the main components of urine
  • The rate of synthesis varies from 300 to 600 mmol/day depending on the protein intake
  • All of this urea eventually finds its way into the urine
  • Because urea makes up a large part of the obligatory solute excretion, its osmotic pressure requires significant volumes of water to carry the urea
  • Urea passively crosses biological membranes, but its permeability is low because of its low solubility in the lipid bilayer
  • Some cells speed up this process through urea transporters, which move urea by facilitated diffusion
  • Urea is passively reabsorbed in the proximal tubule, but its route of transport is not clear
  • Urea transporters have not yet been identified for the proximal tubule

What part of the kidney acts as a physical barrier to protect the kidney from infections?\
Mariana [72]

The renal fascia acts as a physical barrier  to protect the kidney from infections.

The urinary system's main organs are the kidneys. The kidneys are the organs responsible for filtering the blood, eliminating wastes, and eliminating those wastes through urine. They are the organs that handle the urinary system's operations. The additional elements are auxiliary organs that help the body expel urine.

The perirenal fat and pararenal fat are separated by the renal fascia, also referred to as Gerota's fascia, which is a collagenous connective tissue sheath. It aids in the accurate localisation of abdominal masses and is visible on radiographs.
