Question
Chapter 44, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To compare: How the membrane structure in the loop of Henley and collecting duct of the mammalian kidney facilitates recovery of water from filtrate during osmoregulation.
Introduction: Osmoregulation is a biological process in which an organism regulates its osmotic pressure that eventually controls the water balance of the body. It is a part of homeostasis. The mammals maintain its osmotic balance by a specialized structure known as kidney.

- Many types of fishes live in freshwater. Generally, water moves by osmosis from the surrounding fresh water into the fish's body. This observation helps to explain which feature of the excretory systems of freshwater fishes? a. They tend to produce dilute, watery urine. b. They tend to produce concentrated, dark urine. c. They do not produce urine, but instead conserve or re-use nitrogenous wastes. d. They may produce either dilute or concentrated urine, depending on the activity of the fish.arrow_forwardExplain how insects use Malpighian tubules to excrete wastes and maintain osmotic balancearrow_forwardis the human kidney a model for all mammalian kidneys?arrow_forward
- The mammalian kidney contains an immense network of nephrons that functions to conserve water by producing urine that is hyperosmotic compared to other body fluids. Explain how the transport epithelia of the nephron and collecting duct are able to use transport mechanisms to process the filtrate as it moves through the vessels and produce a hyperosmotic filtrate.arrow_forwardThe mammalian kidney contains an immense network of nephrons that functions to conserve water by producing urine that is hyperosmotic compared to other body fluids.
