The rotary countercurrent system is a mechanism that is used in many processes associated with biological processes. The system allows for the exchange of substances between various tissues and fluids in the body. In this case, we will talk about a system that is used for blood dialysis and cleansing the body of harmful substances. This system includes vessels of various sizes and structures. Let's take a closer look at the main stages of blood purification using a rotary-countercurrent system.
PHASE 1: *Influx*
When blood enters the system, it flows through large vessels that can accommodate not only arteries, but also veins. In such vessels, blood moves at a speed comparable to the speed of blood flow in the vessels. The speed of movement can vary depending on the needs of the body and can be either high or low.
*PHASE 2: Blood Clotting*
Blood passes through capillaries where metabolism occurs
The rotary-countercurrent system is a physiological mechanism that ensures the interaction between various cells of the human body and regulates their functioning. The Rotary-Countercurrent system is involved in the reaction between red blood cells and tissues (cardiovascular environment).
One of the functions of the Rotary-Countercurrent system is the reabsorption of ions and water by the ascending and descending limbs of the nephron loop. This mechanism involves glomeruli, renal tubules and ciliary cells. The Rotary Countercurrent system includes two stages: Stage 1 is when the fluid flows from the ascending part to the descending part of the genitourinary system. Due to the pressure difference, fluid is transferred. Stage 2 of the process is the transfer of fluid from the descending section in the opposite direction. To activate the Water channel of the apical membrane, there is a special system “water channel - GTPase” (G-protein Gvtp), which regulates water flow in the kidney tubules
People with the inability of the turn-convert system experience thickening of the urine. At the same time, in patients with diabetes, the degree of dehydration (fluid removal) from the body increases, accompanied by
