- 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 OFarrow_forwardThe kidney of a cactus wren is less efficient at concentrating urine than are the kidneys of a kangaroo rat. However, the cactus wren produces less urine. Explain this apparent contradiction.arrow_forwardDescribe (and label on a diagram) the organs of the mammalian urinary system and give the functions of each.arrow_forward
- Please define/describe the following 3 renal functions in mammals: filtration, reabsorption and secretion. Describe at least one location in the nephron where each of these functions takes place. How does each of these functions contribute to homeostasis of the organism?arrow_forwardPlease describe kidneys and excretion in an Asian Elephantarrow_forward1) "Compared to those of similarly sized birds and lizards, the kidneys of mammals ______." A) "Compared to those of similarly sized birds and lizards, the kidneys of mammals ______."

- Vasopressin 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_forward1) Compared to those of birds and lizards, the kidneys of mammals ______. A) can produce urine with a higher osmolarity B) cannot concentrate the urine as much C) have about the same ability to concentrate the urine, but are more efficient in producing uric acid"arrow_forwardMany 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_forward
