A&P UNITY AND FUNCTION ACCESS
- How the kidneys metabolize carbohydrates, lipids, ans proteins and the effects that these three micromolecules have on renal functions. Examine how the gross and histological structure of the kidney facilitates urine production during 1) glomerular filtration, 2) tubular reabsorption, and 3) tubular secretion.arrow_forwardThe urine transport from the kidney to the urinary bladder calledarrow_forwardThe function of hormones and enzymes (kidney) (ADH, aldosterone, Renin, Angiotensin, etc)arrow_forward
- Membrane Transport disorders associated with the renal systemarrow_forwardHOW HYPERTENSION AND DIABETIS CAN LEAD TO CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASESarrow_forwardADH is an hormone, made by the ____________of the brain, that regulate water reabsorption or secretion in the DCT (distal convoluted tubule) and CD (collecting duct).arrow_forward
- To describe: The hormonal regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance by antidiuretic hormone (ADH), renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP).arrow_forwardAldosterone stimulates sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion inA. The proximal convoluted tubuleB. The descending limb of the nephronC. The ascending limb of the nephronD. The cortical collecting ductarrow_forwardWhy excretion is important and what happens if a drug can not be excreted easily?arrow_forward
- Mechanism of cholesterol excretion from the bodyarrow_forwardtrue or false Aldosterone is required to restore water from loop of Henle, and reabsorption of Na+ from this segment is increased by ADH, allowing equilibration of water with the hyperosmotic interstitiumarrow_forwardSome tumors of the adrenal cortex secrete excess aldosterone and may cause paralysis. Explain this effect andidentify the electrolyte and fluid imbalances you wouldexpect to observe in such a casearrow_forward
