🗑
|
||||
| when the liver mobilizes fat or protein for energy, the blood acidity increases or decreases? | increases bc it produces acids called ketone bodies when using fat for energy
🗑
|
||||
| protein metabolism by liver includes | deaminating amino acids, forming urea from ammonia in blood, synthesizing plasma proteins and globulins, and synthesizes nonessential amino acids
🗑

||||
| what vitamins are stored by liver? | vitamin !, D, and b12, and iron in the form of ferritin
🗑
|
||||
| fat metabolism in the liver | liver synthesizes bile from cholesterol and converts carbs and proteins into fat; it oxidizes fatty acids for energy and forms most lipoproteins

🗑
|
||||
| ADH acts on (what part of nephron) to (increase or decrease) permeability of cells to water? | acts on collecting tubule to increase permeability of cells to water --> this means water flows from tubule and concentrating filtrate
🗑
|
||||
| collecting duct | carries filtrate into highly osmotic medulla; is impermeable to water but sensitive to ADH (which makes collecting duct permeable to water) allowing it to passivly diffuse into medulla to concentrate the urine

🗑
|
||||
| how justaglomerulus apparatus (pathway) responds when filtrate volume is low... | signal is sent to lower resistance of efferent arterioles of glomerulus (the arterioles that flow away from to glomerulus) so that hydrostatic pressure of glomerulus is increased which will increase the filtration rate
🗑
|
||||
| angiotensin II | constricts efferent arterioles so that there is a further increase in glomerulur pressure and GFR which means an increase in aldosterone to increase Na+ reasorption
🗑
|
||||

|
||||
| kidney is made of... | outer cortex and inner medulla
