Abstract

THE SPATIAL FORM OF THE NEPHRONS

Janos Vincze* and Gabriella Vincze-Tiszay

ABSTRACT

The kidney excretes excess substances through urine: decomposition products of substances foreign to the metabolism and organism (medicines, nutritional supplements). The kidneys also play an important regulatory role (fluid and water balance, pH, blood pressure, hematopoiesis, bone metabolism). Our experiments analyzed the microscopic picture of kidneys of patients who died during gestational age or infancy. We found that the structural and functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. The nephrons have two important mechanisms: filtration and reabsorb. We determined the spatial form of the nephrons is rotating ellipsoid. In our opinion, the excretory apparatus should have a control associated with its own structure, which is likely to consist of neurons with hyperordonated spatial structure, called the “hypothetical secondary brain”.

Keywords: nephron, filtration, rotating ellipsoid, hypothetical secondary brain.
