<p>The first step involves finding a suitable donor, followed by preparing the donor by conducting blood group matching, tissue matching, and cross matching to ensure compatibility. The second step entails surgical procedures where the donor's kidney is removed and transplanted into the recipient's body, followed by post-surgery care, including medications to prevent rejection of the new organ.</p> Signup and view all the answers

The process by which organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide to produce energy.

The process of breaking down glucose using oxygen to release energy within cells.

The main organs of respiration in humans, responsible for gas exchange with the blood.

Tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place.

The movement of air between the atmosphere and the lungs, involving both inhalation and exhalation.

The process of inhaling air into the lungs.

The process of exhaling air from the lungs.

The exchange of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood to the alveoli.

A substance inside alveoli that helps them expand and contract during breathing.

The process of removing waste products from the body.

The process of breaking down proteins in the body, producing ammonia as a byproduct.

A toxic substance produced during protein metabolism, converted to urea by the liver.

A less toxic form of ammonia, produced by the liver and excreted through urine.

The main excretory organ in the human body, responsible for filtering waste from blood.

The functional unit of the kidney, responsible for filtering waste and producing urine.

The filtration of blood in the glomerulus, producing a fluid called glomerular filtrate.

The process of reabsorbing useful substances, like water and glucose, from the glomerular filtrate back into the blood.

The process of secreting excess or unwanted substances, like waste products, from the blood into the renal tubules for excretion.

The process of removing waste products from the blood using a dialysis machine.

The process of transplanting a healthy kidney from a donor to a recipient with kidney failure.

The process of maintaining a stable internal environment in the body.

A contractile vacuole in amoeba that removes excess water and waste products.

Tubules in earthworms that filter waste products from the blood.

Tubules in insects that filter waste products from the blood.

The process of removing waste products through the skin.

A process that doesn't require oxygen, producing lactic acid as a byproduct.

The first phase of cellular respiration, taking place in the cytoplasm, producing pyruvic acid.

The second phase of cellular respiration, taking place in the mitochondria, producing carbon dioxide and water.
