  2. Pepsin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsin

    The hormone gastrin and the vagus nerve trigger the release of both pepsinogen and HCl from the stomach lining when food is ingested. Hydrochloric acid creates an acidic environment, which allows pepsinogen to unfold and cleave itself in an autocatalytic fashion, thereby generating pepsin (the active form). Pepsin cleaves the 44 amino acids ...

  3. Parietal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_cell

    They contain an extensive secretory network of canaliculi from which the HCl is secreted by active transport into the stomach. The enzyme hydrogen potassium ATPase (H + /K + ATPase) is unique to the parietal cells and transports the H + against a concentration gradient of about 3 million to 1, [ citation needed ] which is the steepest ...

    Volume of blood plasma delivered to the kidney per unit time. PAH clearance is a renal analysis method used to provide an estimate. Approximately 625 ml/min. renal blood flow = (HCT is hematocrit) Volume of blood delivered to the kidney per unit time. In humans, the kidneys together receive roughly 20% of cardiac output, amounting to 1 L/min in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_bean

    In the Netherlands and Indonesia, kidney beans are usually served as a soup called brenebon. [3] In the Levant, a common dish consisting of kidney bean stew usually served with rice is known as fasoulia. To make bean paste, kidney beans are generally prepared from dried beans and boiled until they are soft, at which point the dark red beans are ...

  6. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

    Blood tests are also used to assess kidney function. These include tests that are intended to directly measure the function of the kidneys, as well as tests that assess the function of the kidneys by looking for evidence of problems associated with abnormal function. One of the measures of kidney function is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

  7. Ultrafiltration (kidney) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrafiltration_(kidney)

    Blood flows into these capillaries through the afferent arterioles and leaves through the efferent arterioles. The high hydrostatic pressure forces small molecules in the tubular fluid such as water , glucose , amino acids , sodium chloride and urea through the filter, from the blood in the glomerular capsule across the basement membrane of the ...

  8. Phytohaemagglutinin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytohaemagglutinin

    A pressure cooker at 15 psi may be used to cook beans in 45 minutes without presoaking. [7] Insufficient cooking, such as in a slow cooker at 75 °C/ 167 °F, may not completely destroy the toxins. [8] Beans also contain alpha amylase inhibitor, but not in sufficient quantities to affect the digestion of starch after consumption of beans. [9]

  9. Chief cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_cell

    Chief cells are part of fundic gland polyps (here shown in high magnification). [11]In gastric tissue, a loss of parietal cells due to chronic inflammation has been shown to affect chief cell differentiation and can induce chief cells to transdifferentiate back into neck cells and can lead to the formation of mucus cell metaplasia known as spasmolytic polypeptide expressing metaplasia (SPEM ...
