Introduction: The Kidney

Main function: to filter the blood to
remove waste products and to adjust salt
concentrations in the blood

Associated with the excretion of cellular
wastes (urea, uric acid, creatinine)
The Kidney Cont’d

Composed of 3
sections:
◦ Outer cortex
◦ Medulla
◦ Inner pelvis
Kidney Cont’d

In the cortex and medulla, there are
about 1,000,000 nephrons – these act as
filters and are composed of:
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Bowman’s capsule
The glomerulus
Proximal tubule
The loop of Henle
Distal tubule
Collecting duct

The Kidney Cont’d

Homeostatic mechanisms are in place to
control the levels of water and
electrolytes in the blood

One very important hormone involved in
this is called Antidiuretic Hormone
(ADH)
Expectations

The following are a list of expectations that will be covered through studying Kidney
Homeostasis:

E1.1 assess on the basis of findings from a case study, the effects on the human body of
taking chemical substances to enhance performance or improve health (e.g. the risks and
benefits of taking large quantities of vitamins or amino acids; the effects on the human
body of substances that people use to cope with stress)

E2.2 plan and construct a model to illustrate the essential components of the homeostatic
process (e.g. create a flow chart that illustrates representative feedback mechanisms in
living things)

E2.3 plan and conduct an investigation to study a feedback system (e.g., stimulus response
loop)

E3.1 describe the anatomy and physiology of the endocrine, excretory, and nervous
systems, and explain how these systems interact to maintain homeostasis

E3.3 describe the homeostatic processes involved in maintaining water, ionic, thermal, and
acid–base equilibrium, and explain how these processes help body systems respond to
both a change in environment and the effects of medical treatments (e.g., the role of
feedback mechanisms in water balance or thermoregulation, how the buffering system of
blood maintains the body’s pH balance, the effect of medical treatments on the endocrine
system, the effect of chemotherapy on homeostasis)
Lesson Sequence

Lesson 2: The Nephron: Filtration and Reabsorption

Lesson 3: Homeostasis: Feedback Mechanisms

Lesson 4: Lab: The Physiological Effects of Coffee

Lesson 5: Kidney Transplant Article and Case Study
Lesson 1: Introduction to the Kidney:
Structure and Function

KWL Chart – have students fill in KW now and L
after lesson 5 (self assessment)
Intro Video:



Group work:
◦ Provide students with basic diagram – have them fill
in the name of each structure
◦ Then, they will complete a T chart on the structure
and function of the following: kidney, renal veins,
renal arteries, urinary bladder, urethra
Lesson 2: The Kidney Nephron:
Filtration and Re-absorption

• Role play exercise where students are the filtrate and
classroom desks are arranged as the nephron
• Worksheet:

Lesson 3:
Homeostasis: Feedback Mechanisms
Lesson 3:
Homeostasis: Feedback Mechanisms

Quick review of the nephron – quiz

Introduce hormone ADH and ADH
feedback loop (refer to picture – slide 14)

Have students read about this feedback
loop in pairs – pg 117 (McGraw Hill
Biology 12)
Lesson 3:
Homeostasis: Feedback Mechanisms

Students work in groups to come up with
a way to demonstrate the ADH feedback
loop to their peers

Assign homework questions
from textbook – to be taken
up next day:
 Pg 120 Q’s 4-6
 Pg 134 Q’s 7, 12
Lesson 4: Lab
The Physiological Effects of Coffee

For this lab, students will design an
experiment that allows them to
investigate one physiological effect of
consuming coffee (e.g. Effects on blood
pressure, urine output, etc.)

Refer to Word document
for a more detailed description
of this lab
Lesson 4 Lab:
Safety Considerations

It may not be appropriate for some students
to participate as subjects in the Physiological
Effects of Coffee Lab due to health concerns

As students design their
experiments, be sure to
consult with each group
to make sure that they
don’t exceed their
coffee intake
Lesson 5:
Kidney Transplant Article and Case Study

Students use an anticipation guide to read an article about
kidney transplants in Canada.

4 corners strategy used to discuss opinions

A class debate about steroid use and kidney disease in
body builders will follow. Refer to the following article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/10/sports/10stero
ids.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=steroids&st=cse

Peer and self assessment
Assessment and Evaluation

Lesson 1: KWL Chart – diagnostic and form of
self assessment

Lesson 2: Nephron Worksheet

Lesson 3: Group presentations and textbook
questions

Lesson 4: Lab Report

Lesson 5: Anticipation guide; peer and selfassessment
Student Difficulties

Difficulty:
◦ Students may have difficulty understanding how and why
different substances enter and leave the kidney tubule.

Rectification
◦ Have students watch the youtube video on the function
of the nephron and allow students to use the interactive
website to see where different substances enter and
leave the nephron.
◦ Youtube video:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glu0dzK4dbU
◦ Interactive website:
 http://www.biologymad.com/resources/kidney.swf
**Note: Refer to summary handout for other rectifications.**
Student Difficulties cont’d

Difficulty:
◦ Some students may have trouble understanding the
feedback mechanism involved in controlling urine
output.

Rectification
◦ Use a flow chart to help students visualize the
feedback mechanism.
◦ Group weaker students with stronger students
during the problem solving activity.
Demonstration

Passive Transport Lab
◦ Students will observe passive transport of a
substance across a membrane
Practical Applications

Effects of steroid use on kidney functioning

Kidney transplants, dialysis and organ
harvesting

Effects of alcohol and caffeine on kidney
homeostasis

Chronic renal diseases
