27 ) Water reabsorption into the capillaries associated with a nephron is achieved principally by what processes?
active transport and diffusion.
26
28 ) During reabsorption, how do sodium ions cross the proximal tubule walls into the interstitial fluid?
active transport.
27
29 ) Which of the following is actively transported in the proximal tubules of the kidney?
Sodium ions
28
30 ) The longer this structure is, the greater is an animal's capacity to conserve water and to concentrate solutes for excretion in the urine.
loop of Henle
29
31 ) Which of the following features would tend to promote water retention by the kidney?
A long loop of henle
30
32 ) How does a kidney machine removes solutes from the blood?
dialysis.
31
33 ) What is the hormone that influences sodium reabsorption in the kidney?
aldosterone.
32
34 ) What is the hormone that controls the concentration of urine?
antidiuretic hormone.
33
36. Where does the hormonal control over excretion most likely occur?
distal tubule.
34
37 ) True or False: The antidiuretic hormone promotes processes that lead to a decrease in the volume of urine.
TRUE
35
38 ) In mammals, what structure governs both the thirst mechanism and the hormonal action that affects the amount of water and solutes excreted in the urine?
hypothalamus
36
39 ) When the body has excess sodium, what happens?
More sodium is excreted, Edema (swelling) occurs, Blood pressure rises, Aldosterone secretion is inhibited.
37
41 ) In humans, where is the thirst center located?
hypothalmus
38
42 ) What influences the pH of the blood and extracellular fluids?
respiration, blood proteins, bicarbonate ions, phosphate and ammonia ions
39
43 ) How does the urinary system help to maintain the extracellular fluid pH?
excreting hydrogen ions as water.
40
44 ) What is the normal pH of the extracellular fluid of the human body?
7.4
41
45 ) Hydrogen ions in the blood can be neutralized temporarily by what substance?
bicarbonate
42
46 ) What is the usual upper temperature limit before proteins are denatured?
41°C.
43
47 ) The rate of a chemical reaction is cut in half for a drop of every (degrees fahrenheit)?
10°F.
44
48 ) What are responses to low temperature that increase the chance for survival?
shivering, production of brown fat, pilomotor response, increased metabolism
45
49 ) Where is the primary thermostat of the body located?
hypothalamus.
46
50 ) What are some of the initial responses to cold temperature?
shivering, increased respiration, shunting of the blood to the core regions of the body, increased metabolism
47
51 ) What are the responses to heat stress?
reduction in muscle contraction, increased sweating, dilation of peripheral blood vessels, loss of salts and liquids.
48
54 ) What are the functions of the nephron?
filtration, excretion, reabsorption, secretion
49
55 ) What are the results of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) secretion
water is reabsorbed in the distal tubule, fluid volume of blood increases, distal tubule and collecting duct become more permeable to water reabsorption, solute concentrations decrease in blood
50
56 ) What are some responses to cold temperatures?
vasoconstriction of peripheral blood vessels, uncontrolled muscular contraction, messages sent by the thermoreceptors to the hypothalamus, increased metabolic reactions
51
57 ) What are some responses of the body to heat?
increased sweating, decreased rate of muscle activity, increased water loss, dilation of peripheral blood vessels
52
58 ) What are some responses to the loss of body heat.
blood routed to deeper tissues, constriction of peripheral blood vessels, increased respiration, increased metabolic rates
53
59) List 5 things urinary chemical diagnostic tests can be used to measure.
Glucose, ketones, protein, leukocytes, nitrites
54
60) What are the two fluid compartments in humans?
ICF, ECF
55
62) List three components of the extracellular fluid.
Lymph, blood, tissue fluid
56
63) List three sources of water we consume.
drinking water, water in the food we ingest, metabolic reactions
57
64) List fours sources of water loss.
excreted in urine, evaporation from lungs/skin, sweat, feces
58
65) List five function of the kidney.
Remove waste, balance body fluids, release hormones, convert Vit D, reabsorb materials
59

F) Sodium ions and water move into the interstitial space
62
