Summarize the role of the kidneys in each of the following functions: Adjusting blood volume (and so blood pressure) and the volume of interstitial fluid and lymph Regulating calcium ion levels Stimulating the production of red blood cells (erythropoiesis) Regulating blood pressure Regulating blood glucose levels Adjusting the pH of body fluids Regulating the blood Na* and K levels Regulating blood Cl levels Getting rid of wastes such as urea, ammonia, uric acid, creatinine, urobilin from breakdown of hemoglobin, foreign substances such as drugs and environmental toxinsarrow_forwardWater though Urinary System Trace the path of the water molecule as it moves from this starting point to this ending point. Starting point: The water molecule enters a kidney in the blood plasma traveling through the renal artery. Ending point: The water molecule is excreted from the body.

Include as many of the following components of the urinary system and terms as you can: afferent arteriolecollecting ductdistal convoluted tubuleglomerular capsuleglomerulusmajor calyxminor calyx nephron loopproximal convoluted tubulerenal pelvisureterurethra For each of the parts of the urinary system in your path, describe a unique anatomical characteristic (size, tissue composition, etc.) or function.arrow_forward
