What happens when you just have 1 kidney ​

Biology

dybincka [34]3 years ago

Most people with a single kidney live a normal life without developing any long- or short-term problems. However, the risk of developing mild blood pressure, fluid retention, and proteinuria is slightly higher if you have one kidney instead of two. This is because a second kidney can compensate and make up for a kidney that has lost some function. If you have a single kidney, injuring it can be a big problem because there isn’t another one to compensate. If the injury is severe and your kidney stops working completely, you need dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive. Most people with a kidney don’t need to follow a special diet, but like people with two kidneys, you should eat a healthy balanced diet. Many of your body’s organs are affected by alcohol including your kidneys. Drinking in moderation (one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men) usually won’t harm your kidneys.

Hope this helps

No other cell in your body has the structure of a neuron. based on your knowledge of form and function, what can you infer from
noname [10]

It follows that no other cell in the body performs a neuron's exact functions.

<h3>What about neurons?</h3>
  • Information is transmitted via neurons.
  • They communicate between various brain regions and between the brain and the rest of the nervous system through electrical impulses and chemical signals.
  • The basic building blocks of the brain and nervous system are neurons (also known as neurones or nerve cells).
  • The cells known as neurons are responsible for receiving sensory data from the outside world, sending commands to our muscles, and converting and relaying electrical signals at various points along the road.
  • The bulk of neurons in vertebrates are found in the central nervous system, however some are found in peripheral ganglia and many sensory neurons are found in sensory organs like the retina and ear.
  • A neuron is made up of a cell body, which includes a nucleus and cytoplasm, from which long, thin portions that resemble hair grow.
  • The neuron's lone long component, known as the axon, is responsible for carrying nerve impulses to various body areas.
  • Dendrites are the short, branching components of the neuron.
