he respiratory system is capable of absorbing oxygen and excreting carbon dioxide. The digestiv system absorbs nutrients from the diet and excrete indigestible material including wastes. Likewise, the urinary system is capable of absorbing and excreting water and electrolytes according to the needs of the body. These functions may appear to be distinct and separate from each other, but the systems are so organized that they are interdependent on each other and ogether contribute to the welfare of the body by keeping it in balance or in a state of homeostasis Create a concept map that illustrates the physiology of acid base balance that unites the three systems (Respiratory, Digestive and Urinary systems) together.

Blood vessels travel in parallel to provide fresh blood to all tissue. However, one of the exceptions is the two capillary beds of the kidneys located in series. Blood flow occurs as follows: afferent arteriole- glomerulus- efferent arteriole - the peritubular capillaries. How does this series of blood flow benefit the kidneys and homeostasis?
On a particularly busy day, a student taking Anatomy and Physiology does not have anything to drink from 9:30 am until 6:30 pm. Osmoreceptors in the brain detect the decreased level of water in the blood. These receptors send a signal to the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary, which stimulates the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This hormone acts on the nephron tubules and collecting ducts in the kidney to increase reabsorption of water, which returns that water to the blood. This retention of water has the additional effect of decreasing urinary output. As the fluid levels in the blood stabilize, the release of ADH ends.1. Whatisthevariablemonitoredbythisloop?2.

Metabolism of nutrients by body cells produces various wastes such as carbon dioxide and nitrogenous toxins (creatinine, urea, and ammonia), as well as imbalances of water and essential ions. These metabolic wastes and excesses must be eliminated from the body. Essential substances are retained to ensure proper body functioning. Although several organ systems are involved in excreting (getting rid of) toxic cellular wastes, the urinary system bears the primary responsibility for removing nitrogenous wastes from the blood. In addition to this purely excretory function, the kidneys maintain the electrolyte, acid-base, and fluid balances of the blood. Thus, kidneys take care of your blood and are major homeostatic organs of the body. Malfunction of the kidneys leads to a failure of homeostasis, resulting (unless corrected) in death. 1. Complete the statements (hint: read paragraph above): The kidney is referred to as an excretory organ because it excretes also a major homeostatic organ…
Which of the following statements regarding the Urinary system is INCORRECT? Select one: O a. The kidneys are responsible for urine production and are located in the posterior portion of the abdominal cavity on either side of the vertebral column. O b. The suprarenal glands are also called the adrenal glands which lie upon the superior poles of the kidneys. O c. The medial border of each kidney presents the hilus which marks the entrance into a cavity called the renal pelvis. O d. The cortex of the kidney lies at the periphery of the organ and the medulla lies internal to the cortex. Next pa

Urination or micturition is a cranial reflex. involves contraction of the detrusor muscle and relaxation of the internal urethral sphincter. stimulates motor neurons that cause the external urethral sphincter to contract. is a reflex that cannot be voluntarily controlled. All of these are correct
The breakdown of nucleic acids produces very small molecules of uric acid. Extremely high levels of uric acid built up in the joints indicate that there is something wrong with the individual's kidneys. Using the knowledge you gained from the homeostasis unit, support the connection between built up of uric acid and the possibilities of kidneys malfunctioning.
e The excretory system regulates the volume and composition of body fluids by removing wastes and returning useful substances to the body. Some of the characteristics of the excretory organs are given below. 1. Carries urine to the bladder 2. Stores urine 3. Eliminates urine from the body 4. Composed of nephrons Put the numbers of the above characteristics in order, so they correspond to the urinary bladder, the ureters, the kidneys, and the urethra. (Your answer should look like 1234, but that isn't the right order.) Answer: Next page OF
