To determine: The way by which nephridial organs and Malpighian tubules are similar.
Introduction: The urinary system is a drainage system of the body for removing the wastes in the form of urine. For this process, the parts of the urinary system should work together in coordination. The mammalian urinary system includes kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
To differentiate: Between nephridial organs and Malpighian tubules.

- Mention the function of the following(a) Ureters in frog(b) Malpighian tubules(c) Body wall in earthwormarrow_forwardWhat would be the effect of a dysfunctional Na+/K+ pump in the cells of the following parts of the nephro:a. Proximal convoluted tubule?b. Loop of Henle?c. Distal convoluted tubule?arrow_forwardPlease help me with this!! a) Draw a diagram either on paper or an electronic device to explain how the nephrons work. b) Add a description of what happens in each part of the nephron to your diagram. c)Find a definition of the three important processes for the production of urine (filtration, reabsorption, fluid recovery).arrow_forward
- What are the basic differences between cortical and juxtamedullary nephrons?arrow_forwardExplain how a swim bladder works.arrow_forwardNephron Structure and Circulation Fill in the blanks to complete some thoughts on how the nephron works. The blood first enters the (21), which filters small molecules out of the afferent arteriole. Larger molecules such as (22) do not enter the nephron. Proteins (Can or Can not?, 23) enter the nephron. Amino acids and glucose are placed back into the blood stream by the cells of the (24). As the material that becomes urine travels down the descending limb of the loop, a good amount of (25) is removed. The ascending limb is responsible for removing (26). through the process of active transport. Urine is further concentrated by removal of some water in the collecting duct.arrow_forward
- The structures marked by the white asterisk are identified as which of the following? Choose from the following: (A) thin segments of the nephron loop (B) vasa recta (C) glomerular capillaries (D) cortical peritubular capillariesarrow_forwardIn what ways does the nephridium of an earthworm parallel the human nephron in structure and function?arrow_forwardMatch the following: A) Has microvilli B) Where filtrate is formed C) Where filtrate becomes urine D) Responsible for passive water absorption 1. Proximal convoluted tubule. 2. Glomerulus. 3. Descending loop of Henle. Collecting duct. Proximal convoluted tubule. (Choose] Glomerulus. Where filtrate is formed Where filtrate becomes urine [Choose] Responsible for passive water absorption Choose]arrow_forward
- Explain briefly for the following terms: 1. Oxidative phosphorylation. 2. Draw the internal structure of kidney and differentiate different parts of nephron. 3. Briefly explain ten steps of glycolysis. 4. Digestion in vertebrates.arrow_forwardUnlike an earthworm’s metanephridia,a mammalian nephron(A) is intimately associated with a capillarynetwork.(B) functions in both osmoregulation andexcretion.(C) receives filtrate from blood instead of coelomic fluid.(D) has a transport epithelium.arrow_forward1) How does your excretory system help you maintain homeostasis when you are dehydrated? 2) Structures within a nephron are labelled in the figure above. In which of these parts of the nephron is water reabsorbed back into the body? (See attached image)arrow_forward
