Which statement is FALSE The kidney produces a concentrated urine by establishing a high concentration of salt and urea surrounding the collecting ducts. In typical reflex arcs, impulses in sensory neurons activate motor neurons via interneurons. A drop in body temperature is countered by measures such as increasing metabolic rate and shutting down circulation in the skin. This is an example of negative feedback. The hypothalamus is a region of the hind brain important in regulating cardiovascular function, such as heart rate and blood pressure. Both the brain and spinal cord are connected to nerves that carry motor and sensory information to and from organs such as the heart, stomach and liver.

In mammals, the kidneys are the only organs that regulateroutine excretion of water, salts, and nitrogenous wastes fromthe blood. As logical as this may sound to us, it is unique amongvertebrates. For each of the other groups of vertebrates, describethe functions of as many organs as you can—in addition tothe kidneys—that participate in these processes. Consider thediscussions of these groups of animals
Gout—a condition that results in joint swelling and pain—iscaused by the formation of sodium urate (NaC5H3N4O3) crystalswithin tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Sodium urate precipitatesout of blood plasma when uric acid levels become abnormallyhigh. This can happen as a result of eating too many rich foodsand consuming too much alcohol, which is why gout is sometimesreferred to as the “disease of kings.” If the sodium concentration inblood plasma is 0.140 M and Ksp for sodium urate is 5.76 * 10-8,what minimum concentration of urate results in precipitation?
The following events occur when the body loses water by sweating.I - Hypothalamus stimulates the posterior pituitary glandII - Osmotic pressure of blood stabilizesIII - ADH causes kidneys to reabsorb more waterIV - Osmotic pressure of blood increases In what order do these events occur?
The marine iguana(Amblyrhynchus cristatus), which spendslong periods underwater feeding on seaweed, relies on bothsalt glands and kidneys for homeostasisof its internal fluids.Describe how these organs together meet theparticular osmoregulatory challenges of thisanimal’s environment.

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?

Which of the following function isperformed by the kidneys in the humanbody?A. Excretion B. Respiration C. Digestion D. Transportation
A patient suffering from a tumor in the hypothalamus produces excessive amounts of ADH, a condition called syndrome of inappropriateADH (SIADH) production. For this patient, the excessive ADH production is chronic and has persisted for many months. A student nursekeeps a fluid intake-output record on the patient. She is surprised tofind that fluid intake and urinary output are normal. What effect wasshe expecting? Can you explain why urinary output is normal?
Which 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.
A person has a tumor of the adrenal cortex that hypersecretes aldosterone and is not regulated bythe normal negative feedback controls. What symptoms might this person exhibit and how does thiscondition affect his kidney function? Would he have polyuria?
