Some desert animals have evolved greater ability to concentrate urine than other animals. [160] The most concentrated urine among the studied species is produced by the Australian hopping mouse Notomys alexis , [ 159 ] whose kidneys have longer loops of Henley and an elongated renal papilla compared to the kidneys of other mammals.

Cats are carnivores. The kidney is a vital organ with a variety of tasks. It plays an important role in maintaining the water, electrolyte and acid-base balance, in the excretion of toxic metabolic degradation products such as urea and in the recovery of valuable substances such as glucose, amino acids, peptides and minerals initially filtered out of the blood during ultrafiltration in the ...
For this reason, fossil collectors commonly break open concretions in their search for fossil animal and plant specimens. [9] Some of the most unusual concretion nuclei are World War II military shells, bombs, and shrapnel, which are found inside siderite concretions found in an English coastal salt marsh. [10]
The most common cause of hyperphosphatemia in people, dogs, and cats is kidney failure. In cases of hyperphosphatemia, limiting consumption of phosphate-rich foods, such as some meats and dairy items and foods with a high phosphate-to-protein ratio, such as soft drinks, fast food, processed foods, condiments, and other products containing ...
A coal ball is a type of concretion, varying in shape from an imperfect sphere to a flat-lying, irregular slab.Coal balls were formed in Carboniferous Period swamps and mires, when peat was prevented from being turned into coal by the high amount of calcite surrounding the peat; the calcite caused it to be turned into stone instead.
Grisly video has emerged of a blood-soaked woman after she was allegedly caught killing and eating a cat in Ohio — but she’s neither a Haitian migrant nor anywhere near Springfield.
Mucins (/ ˈ m juː s ɪ n /) are a family of high molecular weight, heavily glycosylated proteins (glycoconjugates) produced by epithelial tissues in most animals. [1] Mucins' key characteristic is their ability to form gels; therefore they are a key component in most gel-like secretions, serving functions from lubrication to cell signalling to forming chemical barriers.

Some animals may experience vaginal secretions that could be bloody. The female is not yet sexually receptive; the old corpus luteum degenerates; the uterus and the vagina distend and fill with fluid, become contractile and secrete a sanguinous fluid; the vaginal epithelium proliferates and the vaginal cytology shows a large number of non ...
