The expected sodium versus actual sodium comparison in Figure 8, we saw that the actual sodium excretion of the control and hypotonic subject was greater than the expected sodium excretion, which was expected in the hypotonic subject due to the amount of fluid intake at the beginning of lab. The isotonic actual sodium excretion was a little below the expected sodium excretion due to the high fluid intake but low excretion of urine throughout the two-hour experiment. The alkalosis subject showed a high expected sodium excretion but barely any actual amount of sodium excretion was present. The overall values are present and can be seen in Table 1 to observe the pattern present.
Conclusion
The renal system is built as interwoven machinery that fully functions if all parts are working properly together. The kidney is a regulator of homeostasis that is vital to the survival of cells that make up the body system by evaluating the functions of fluid, electrolyte and pH balance. The sodium and water intake concentrations are monitored and adjusted to subdue any osmotic fluctuations that would deliberate the body. Through strict auto regulation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the body sustains to function properly by ensuring blood pressure and plasma volume within survival
