, ● Ultrafiltration: Fluid is pushed through a
semipermeable membrane.
● Convection: Or solute drag means that solutes
move with the water across the semipermeable
membrane. In this way, convection adds to the
clearance achieved through diffusion as solutes are
dragged along with the ultrafiltrate.
● Diffusion: Is the movement of dissolved particles
across a semipermeable membrane from the side with
the higher concentration to the side with the lower
concentration. This difference in solute concentration
Explain the four transport
on each side of the membrane is called concentration
mechanisms that play a
gradient. The higher the concentration gradient, the
role in hemodialysis
faster diffusion occurs. Once the concentration of a
dissolved particle is the same on both sides of the
semipermeable membrane, diffusion stops.
● Osmosis: Is a chemical process by which dissolved
chemicals will migrate from an area of high
concentration to one of low
concentration. Essentially if you dissolve something in
a liquid, the dissolved compounds (called solutes) will
spread out until there is
an equal concentration of solute everywhere.
What are the kidneys To normalize electrolytes, remove wastes, provide
excretory functions fluid and nutrient balance
What is the function of the Provides the concentration gradient for diffusion and
acid concentration helps normalize electrolytes
What is the function of Buffers the acid concentrate
bicarbonate
