Function of the COELOM in population
Allows gut to evolve independently of trunk
Function of the COELOM in individuals
Allows gut to move independently of the rest of the body
PLEUROPERITONEAL membrane
Allows lungs to operate independently from rest of COELOM. Important for a homeothermic animal.
If the SEROSA/PERITONEUM is on the organ itself. It is called.
Visceral
If the SEROSA/PERITONEUM is on the outside of the body wall it is called
Parietal
The kidney is developed from the
MESOMERE
Once the MESOMERE starts developing into a kidney. It is called D.
NephroTOME
The first kidney drained the
COELOM
Segmental NEPHROTOMES appear in the
Posterior part of the intermediate MESODERM
- Fluid from glomerulus is under
High pressure
- Due to high pressure, fluid leaks out and is filtered over the
PERITONEUM into the COELOM
- After the COELOM, the fluid moves up the
Peritoneal funnel
- After the PERITONEAL funnel, the funnel moves up the
Tubules and duct
- The high-pressure fluid exits the
Cloaca
NEPHRIC Tubules develop in the
NEPHRIC Ridge
What does the PRONEPHRIC duct become
ureter
The URETERIC diverticulum induces the formation of
Amniote kidney
excretion of kidney
Removal of nitrogen waste
The nephron and the collecting tubal is the
URINIFEROS tube
What happens to water in the nephron?
It is reabsorbed during the descending limb
Less water is available in which type of loop of Henley
Less water available the longer the loop
Excreting ammonia
Toxic, energetically, cheap, needs lots of water to flush it out
Uric acid excretion
Least, toxic, energetically expensive to produce, least water soluble
who excretes uric acid
Snakes, birds
