Question
Chapter 33, Problem 1PIT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How do the urinary system and the circulatory system work together to maintain homeostasis.
Concept introduction:
Homeostasis is the phenomenon in which, the maintenance of a constant internal environment within a living organism is maintained. Thermoregulation in organisms is an example of homeostasis in which, internal body temperature of an organism is regulated.

You look at species from a desert environment and compare them with ones from a tropical environment. The desert species would be expected to havea. shorter loops of Henle than the tropical species.b. longer loops of Henle than the tropical species.c. shorter proximal convoluted tubules than the tropical species.d. longer distal convoluted tubules than the tropical species.
