Regulating the Flow - Control of Water Balance in Animals

Paper Summary:

An experiment that looks at a large amount of data and interpreting this to draw conclusions on water balance within animals. Looks at hormonal responses, salt concentrations, nitrogenous wastes, water losses and water intake via foods. Data is provided in results, and is fully interpreted, with focus on kidney function and wastes with respect to water balance within the body.

From the Paper:

"In human's, the role of water balance is controlled by the kidneys, which act as an internal filter, removing wastes from the blood such as nitrogenous compounds which can be toxic if they accumulate. In an average adult male, there is approximately 5 liters of blood within the body, and of this, 1 liter of blood passes through the kidneys in I minute, so the total blood volume is filtered roughly every 5 minutes. "
