The kidneys help to regulate the hydrogen ion concentration of body fluids by altering the rate at which hydrogen ions are secreted.
TRUE or FALSE
Compare and contrast the functions of the kidneys and the heart using a table. If both were candidates running for the presidential elections inside your body, which one would choose and why? If you do not want to vote for either the heart or the kidney, which organ would you vote for and why? Think of a way to make your reason more substantial by considering the role of both the heart and the kidneys in blood pressure regulation.

- High blood pressure often is accompanied by kidney damage. In somepeople the kidney damage is subsequent to the high blood pressure, but in others the kidney damage is what caused the high blood pressure. How would a low-salt diet enable you to determine whether the high blood pressure or the kidney damage came first?arrow_forwardSuppose the kidneys of a person are damaged, can you predict what is going to happen to him?arrow_forwardThe time you woke up in the morning, you drink 2 glasses of water. Shortly after drinking you feel the need to urinate. Why is this so? Explain your answer by tracing the path of water from the stomach up to the urinary bladder.arrow_forward
- Are both statements correct? The kidneys control blood volume and blood pressure by regulating the volume of urine produced. The kidneys participate, with the skin and liver, in regulating vitamin D synthesis.arrow_forwardHigh blood pressure often is accompanied by kidney damage. In somepeople, the kidney damage is subsequent to the high blood pressure,but in others the kidney damage is what caused the high blood pressure. Explain how a low-salt diet would enable you to determinewhether the high blood pressure or the kidney damage came first?arrow_forwardVasopressin is a hormone that is mainly released when the body lacks water. The release of vasopressin causes the kidneys to conserve water by concentrating urine and decreasing urine output. However, vasopressin also has additional functions in other tissues such as the brain and blood vessels, which are not directly involved in urine production. How might vasopressin trigger different responses in different tissues?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is incorrect? Select one: O a. ADH regulates the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidneys O b. ADH is also known as vasopressin O c. without ADH, the proximal parts of the nephron are impermeable to water O d. ADH is synthesised in the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland O e. ADH plays a key role in the homeostatic process called osmoregulationarrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forwardIf blood osmolarity increases, receptors in the_______ detect this and signal the gland to increase release of________ . This hormone acts on the walls of the_____ and the______, causing them to insert more water porescalled_______ into their membranes and, thus, cause the urine to become more______ .arrow_forward
- Many caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and cola drinks have diuretic effects on the body. Why do caffeinated beverages increase the volume of urine? Select one: a. Caffeine increases ADH, which increases the reabsorption of water in the kidneys. b. Caffeine inhibits ADH, which reduces the reabsorption of water in the kidneys. c. Caffeine increases ADH, which reduces the reabsorption of water in the kidneys. d. Caffeine inhibits ADH, which increases the reabsorption of water in the kidneys.arrow_forwardAnna is peacefully eating her lunch when a very loud, sudden noise scares her. Which of the following will NOT happen in result? decreased blood flow to the GI tract decreased blood flow to the nephrons increased secretion of renin from the kidneys increased secretion of insulin from the pancreasarrow_forwardOsmoregulation is a process that helps control the amount of water in the blood stream. One of the main hormones involved in this is ADH, which is released by the posterior pituitary gland a) With reference to at least this hormone, explain the negative feedback mechanism that occurs when the body is dehydrated. b) Following on from the above, explain what happens when there is too much water in the blood stream. Again you should refer to ADH as part of your answer.arrow_forward
