Question 37

Briefly describe the three processes that are involved in the production of urine. For each process in question, describe in which part(s) of the nephron it occurs.

Question 38

Describe how substances are moved into and out of the nephron.

Question 39

Describe how the structure of the glomerulus helps it to perform its function.

Question 40

Describe the path that the filtrate follows from the moment it enters the nephron until it is expelled from the body.

Question 41

Describe how aldosterone is able to regulate urine formation by modifying the nephron.

Question 42

Describe how antidiuretic hormone regulates urine formation by modifying the nephron.

Question 43

How does urine composition differ when regulated by aldosterone compared to antidiuretic hormone?

Question 44

What is the purpose of having two different hormonal regulation systems for urine formation?

Question 45

Describe the micturition reflex, including the involuntary and voluntary pathways that control the process, and the interaction between the two pathways.
