- Draw a well labelled diagram of excretory system.arrow_forwardPart A Why is control over blood [Ca2+] and [Red Blood Cell] crucial? Choose one hormone involved in either of these homeostatic systems that regulate the concentration of these ions/cells and describe how it functions in homeostasis. Remember to include the name of the gland that secretes it. Part B Choose one molecule that is reabsorbed by the nephron and describe the process by which it is reabsorbed.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
- What 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_forwardIn biology class one day, Mrs. Chabon wrote six physiological functions on the board. Then, she asked groups of students to each choose the three functions that are purposes of the excretory system. These are the lists they made. Group 1: maintaining pH level of blood; transporting hormones throughout the body; regulating growth Group 2: removing wastes from the body; digesting solid foods; maintaining salt and water balance Group 3: maintaining salt and water balance; maintaining pH level of blood; regulating growth Group 4: removing wastes from the body; maintaining pH level of blood; maintaining salt and water balance Which group correctly listed the functions of the excretory system? group 1 group 2 group 3 group 4arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a function of the excretory system? * Filtration of wastes from the blood. Secretion of ADH from the collecting duct. Maintaining pH balance by secretion of H+ ions. Osmoregulation via sweating. Releasing carbon dioxide waste from the lungs.arrow_forward
- Name the organ systems that make up the excretory system.arrow_forwardThe cortical nephron is characterized by all of the following except: a. short nephron loop b. glomerulus is further from the cortex-medulla junction c. glomerulus is close to the cortex-medulla junction d. efferent arteriole supplies peritubular capillariesarrow_forwardhat is role of skin, lungs and intestine in the process of excretion in man?arrow_forward
- The fluids deep in the medulla of the kidney have a much highersolute concentration than those in the cortex. Where do the solutes inthe medulla come from? What is the role of that high soluteconcentration in the functioning of the nephron loop?arrow_forwardWhat are the functions of excretory systems?arrow_forwardIf urine/filtrate is hyperosmotic to the interstitial fluid, fluid would go from the interstitial fluid to the urine/filtrate. How does this conserve water? Wouldn’t this NOT conserve water but rather increase the amount of water that is excreted via urine?arrow_forward
