Document Summary

In animals with an open circulatory system, this fluid is hemolymph. In fishes, most of the ammonia is lost as ammonium ions (nh4+) at the gill epithelium. In some species, individuals can change their nitrogenous wastes when environmental conditions change. Concept 44. 4 nephrons and associated blood vessels are the functional units of the mammalian kidney: mammals have a pair of bean-shaped kidneys, each kidney is supplied with blood by a renal artery and drained by a renal vein. In humans, the kidneys account for less than 1% of body weight, but they receive about. In the human kidney, about 80% of the nephrons, the cortical nephrons, have reduced loops of.
