May 18, 201510 yr I've seen water retention mentioned in regards to the kidneys, not water restoration.
May 19, 201510 yr Not a homework problem a school work problem help..... In the kidney, there are millions of tiny blood filters called 'the renal unit' which is made up of 2 main parts: The Glomerulus (which is a ball of blood vesels) and their little tubules (which connects the blood vessels to the final tubes that collect urine. These Tubules have different names and different functions dependingon which segment you are referring to - there is the proximal tubule, the distal tubule and the loop of Henle. In the diagram below, the tubules are the yellow parts. The renal unit continuously filter the blood and then either secrete or reabsorb water from the tubules back into the blood vesels that surround the tubules. The process of secreting and then reabsorbing makes sure that the 'fluid balance' in the body is balanced because too much water and you'll end up with problems like high blood pressure or swelling in your flesh - and too little water results in dehydration. consider the 2 situations below: If you have too MUCH water in your blood - your (healthy) Kidneys should filter (secrete) out the excess water and your urine will become watery and dilute If you have too LITTLE water in your blood - your Kidneys will reabsorb the water and your urine will become concentrated and dark in colour. I'm not sure what grade you are in so I decided to give you a quick and simple answer. If you need more information, please don't hesitate to ask or use a textbook.
