Chapter 37.8, Problem 2TYK
Hemodialysis
- is the treatment of choice for people with advanced renal disease.
- directly mixes a person’s blood with the dialysis fluid.
- can lead to a loss of blood cells.
- normalizes concentrations of small solutes in the blood by a diffusion mechanism.
- is only useful for removing nitrogenous wastes from the blood.

- Match the following descriptions of transport processes with the appropriate terms. filtration secretion excretion absorption reabsorption ___ process of eliminating metabolic waste products from the body ___ process by which a chemical passes through a membrane or tissue surface and becomes incorporated into a body fluid or tissue ___ process by which hydrostatic pressure forces fluid through a capillary wall ___ process by which chemicals are extracted from the blood and moved into the tubular fluid ___ process of reclaiming solutes from the tubular fluid and returning them to the bloodarrow_forwardA dialysis tube that contains 10 mL of a 5% sucrose solution and that is permeable to water but not sucrose is placed in 100 mL of a 5% sucrose solution. What will happen to the bag over time? Cannot be determined. The bag will lose weight. The bag will gain weight. The bag will stay the same weight.arrow_forwardWhich of the following could cause an INCREASE in the concentrations of ions found in the blood? 1. The glomerulus (Bowman's capsule) filters more substances than it's supposed to 2. The nephron reduces the amount of substances allowed to leave 3. More water is reabsorbed in the urinary system than usual 4. The organism dramatically decreases the amount of water consumedarrow_forward
- if you have a dialysis tube filled with 10 mL of 20% sucrose solution in a beaker with 100 mL of water, what will happen to the bag over time? (The dialysis tubing is permeable to water but not sucrose.) The bag will shrink. The bag will swell. The bag will stay the same for most of the time and will slowly lose weight. There will be no change in the bag.arrow_forwardA patient takes a medication that as a side effect leads to partial inhibition of diuresis. How will this affect the blood pressure of the patient? The patient's blood pressure will decrease. The patient's blood pressure will increase. The patient's blood pressure won't be affected. The patient's blood pressure will decrease but only momentarily.arrow_forwardFiltration of substances out of the glomerulus occurs because: Charged molecules cannot cross as easily as uncharged, nonpolar molecules.Wastes cross into the filtrate and nutrients remain in the blood.The difference in size between the afferent and efferent arterioles creates high pressure.There are only channels for certain types of molecules in the glomerular wall.Active transport helps needed nutrients crossarrow_forward
