lesson 16 Flashcards
osmotic balance
-Osmolarity
-Tonicity:
hypertonic
hypotonic
isotonic
intra and extracellular
homeostasis
Na, Cl, Ca, Mg, K
osmoregulators control of osmolarity
-aquatic:
salt H20 and fresh H20
-terrestrial
-nitrogenous waste:
ammonia
urea
uric acid
osmoregulatory system-insects
-malpighian tubules
-secretion
vertebrate kidneys-fiber, secrete, reabsorb
-kidneys
-nephrons
-glomerulus
-bowmans capsule
mammalian kidney
-kidney:
filtration
reabsorption
secretion
-ureter
-urinary bladder
filtering unit of the kidney
-nephron
-juxtamedullary nephrons
-cortical nephrons
-afferent arteriole
-glomerulus
-bowman’s capsule
-efferent arteriole
filtrate production and urine collection
-peritubular capillaries
-vasa recta
-proximal convoluted tubule
-loop of henle
-distal convoluted tubule
-collecting duct
reabsorption, secretion, excretion
-reabsorption
H2O
Glucose, salt and other nutrients
-secretion:
nitrogenous waste, K, H
-excretion
Homeostasis
loop of henle-reabsorption of NaCl and H20
descending limb: water exits passively
ascending limb: salt exits actively
concentrating the urine
loop of henle creates gradient
distal tubule and collecting duct concentrate urine using gradient
hormonal control and osmoregulation
antidiuretic hormone
