What general body system are the kidneys a part of? Are the kidneys directly-linked to the organ mentioned above (is it a part of that system)?
Name one anatomic or physiologic adaptation other than the kidney that a species of animals can use to get rid of salt (NaCl).
In 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 4

- Draw a schematic diagram showing the flow of water and salts in the proximal tubule of the kidney. In this diagram, put the lumen on the left side of the diagram and the extracellular fluids on the right side of the diagram. Indicate where the lumen is, where the extracellular fluid is, where the apical portion of the cell is, and show the location of the proteins that are responsible for the movement of water and salts and glucose reabsorption in this area of the kidneyarrow_forwardThe Urinary System conducts the liquid wastes out of the body. The urine should normally be lightly colored, sterile and clear. What if the urine were to have blood in it? What is this called? Where could the blood be coming from (name four possible locations)?arrow_forwardWhat is the diagram labeled "B" a representation of? I think it's the arteries, capillaries and veins but I'm not sure.arrow_forward
- Which of the following pathways best describe the structures which urine has to flow through before being excreted out of the body? (Hint: some structures may be omitted, so just make sure the general order is correct) 1-Collecting duct -> bladder -> ureter 2-Collecting duct -> ureter -> bladder -> urethra 3-Collecting duct -> urethra -> bladder -> ureter 4-Major calyx -> minor calyx -> renal pelvis -> urethraarrow_forwardMannitol is a sugar that does not pass through the walls of capillaries in the brain. It also does not cross the wall of kidney tubules, the structures that transport blood filtrate to become urine. Explain why mannitol can be considered as osmotically active. How might its clinical administration help to prevent swelling of the brain in head trauma? Also, explain the effect it might have on the water content of urine.arrow_forwardthe process that initiates urine formation in most types of vertebrates is ultrafiltration of fluid from the blood plasma into kidney tubules under the force of blood pressure. What properties of the blood plasma in the urine-forming structures of the kidney are likely to affect the rate of ultrafiltration into the kidney tubules? Why is failure of urine production a potential side effect of heart disease?arrow_forward
- Order the following kidney structures to show the path of urine formation and its departure from the body: renal pelvis, glomerulus, ureter, renal artery, bladder, renal tubules (Loop of Henle and collecting ducts), calyx, urethra, Bowman’s capsule. How will other body systems be affected if the kidneys begin to shut down? Explain your answer. Suggest reasons why we can live with one kidney, but we are born with two.arrow_forwardThe macula densa is/are: a. present in the renal medulla. b. dense tissue present in the outer layer of the kidney. c. cells present in the DCT and collecting tubules. d. present in blood capillaries.arrow_forwardStudents were asked to trace the path of blood entering the kidney to the formation of urine. The pathways that the students came up with are shown in the image below. Which student did not trace the pathway of blood to formation of urine correctly? Mike's Pathway efferent arteriole renal vein glomerulus loop of Henle proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) distal convoluted tubule (DCT) collecting duct renal pelvis ureter urinary bladder urethra Paula's Pathway afferent arteriole glomerulus Bowman's capsule proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) loop of Henle distal convoluted tubule (DCT) collecting duct renal pelvis ureter urinary bladder urethraarrow_forward
- Sensory information about pH is taken to the medulla for integration. What is the medullas solution to bring pH back to normal? hyperventilation, vasoconstriction, or hypoventilation.arrow_forwardThe renal handling of a novel drug is being studied. When the drug is present in the blood, it is filtered into the Bowman’s capsule and secreted via transport proteins in the renal tubules, but it is NOT reabsorbed. The lines on the following graph represent filtration, secretion and excretion rates of this drug at various plasma concentrations. For the three lines shown (labeled A-C) identify which line represents filtration, which line represents secretion, and which line represents excretion Explain how you determined this.arrow_forwardIn terms of anatomical directions, two tumors located in the right kidney would be called what tumors? Also, when given a compound such as NH3, how can you tell by just looking at a compund like that whether it is polar or nonpolar?arrow_forward
