The excretory system consists of:A rectum, lungs, skin and kidneysB rectum, liver and kidneysC lungs, liver, skin and kidneys

Discuss in details the five parts of the nephron and function in the production of urine.

c. The diagram below shows the simplified structure of a kidney tubule [ nephron] Ascending limb of the Joop of Henle The table below shows the quantities of water and urea passing through P and Qma period of 24 hours. The table also shows the quantities and percentages reabsorbed during the same period.

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?

The primary nitrogenous waste found in the urine is:   uric acid urobilogen creatinine ammonia none of the above

Ken James comes to the physician’s office with a complaint of severe back pain. The pain is located on the right side lateral to vertebrae and superior to the buttocks. The physician orders some tests to rule out the diagnosis of kidney stones. Describe the function of the kidney and the parts of the nephron. Name the parts of the kidney and their function.

3. Draw and label a nephron: use the video in Canvas titled “How a nephron works by Professor Koepke" to add details to the picture below. DCT: Filtration: Bowman's or Efferent Giomerular capsule arteriole Distal convoluted tubule Afterent arteriale PCT: Praximal convoluted tubule Cortex-medulla junction Interlobular artery Verule Collecting duct Interiabular Collecting duct: vein Descending limb: Antidiuretic hormone: Loop of the nephron (Henle) Perilutular capillary Ascending limb: Aldosterone: notwork Urine llows into renal pelvis pH:

Which of the following substances does the body normallyretain? Which does it normally excrete? (1) glucose, (2) sodiumions, (3) bicarbonate ions, (4) acids

II. Complete the table below by putting a tick mark (/) on which organ(s) of the excretory system perform each of the listed functions. Excretory Organs Function kidneys lungs skin bladder removes water removes salt stores urine removes carbon dioxide produces urine

Match each item to the correct statement below. tubular portion of the nephron that lies between the Bowman's capsule and the loop of Henle tubular portion of the nephron that lies between the proximal and distal tubules process that results in the movement of water and solutes, except proteins, from blood plasma into the nephron the state in which the kidneys cannot maintain homeostasis due to damage to nephrons procedure that removes wastes and excess fluid from the blood when kidney function is lost process that removes water from the filtrate in the nephron and returns it for reuse by the body process that moves additional wastes and excess substances from the blood into the filtrate in the nephron tubular portion of the nephron that lies between the collecting duct and the loop of Henle chemical messenger regulated by the hyphothalamus which triggers reabsorption of water into the blood process in which useful substances are reabsorbed from the filtrate in the nephron and…
