It refers to the process of elimination of metabolic waste products from an animal's body. A. Filtration B. Excretion C. Osmoregulation D. Reabsorption Iii. It is also known as the papillary duct, which receives fluid from the nephrons. A. Collecting Duct B. Renal Pyramid C. Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) D. Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) Iv.

The kidneys of vertebrates are located ____. caudal to the cloaca within the peritoneal cavity dorsal to the peritoneal cavity alongside the aorta "midway along the torso, just ventral to the intestines" lateral and ventral to the peritoneal cavity
If there is 180 Liters of fluid passing through the glomerulus every 24 hours, then why doesn’t all of that 180 liters turn into urine for excretion? 1. Because most of that fluid is reabsorbe 2. Because most of that fluid is secreted into the blood 3. Because most of that fluid is absorbed back into the glomerulus 4. Because when the bladder fills up to its maximum capacity, water is absorbed back into the body directly from the bladder.
