chapter 44 bio quiz

QuestionAnswer
osmosis net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration
osmolarity solution concentration expressed as molarity
osmoregulation regulation of solute concentrations and water balance by a cell or organism
What is the normal osmolarity of blood? 300ml osmo's
osmoconformers consisting only of some marine animals, are isoosmotic with their surroundings and do not regulate their osmolarity
osmoregulators expend energy to control water uptake and loss in a hyperosmotic or hypoosmotic environment
stenohaline they are animals that cannot tolerate substantial changes in external osmolarity
euryhaline animals that can survive large fluctuations in external osmolarity
most marine invertebrates are osmo___ conformers
marine bony fishes are ____ to sea water hypoosmotic
marine fishes lose water by ____ and gain salt by ______ and from food osmosis, diffusion
the adaptaion that causes Some aquatic invertebrates in temporary ponds lose almost all their body water and survive in a dormant state is called anhydrobiosis
_____ are specialized epithelial cells that regulate solute movement Transport epithelia
a small, very toxic molecule (NH3) produced by nitrogen fixation or as a metabolic waste product of protein and nucleic acid metabolism is called ammonia
forms of nitrogenous wastes ammonia, urea, and uric acid.
a soluble nitrogenous waste produced in the liver by a metabolic cycle that combines ammonia with carbon dioxide urea
a duct leading from the kidney to the urinary bladder ureter
a tube that releases urine from the mammalian body urethra
Z_____ regulate solute movement between internal fluids and the external environment. Excretory systems
excretory process filtration, re absorption, secretion and excretion
the different excretory systems are protonephridia, metanephridia, Malpighian tubules, and kidneys
a network of dead-end tubules connected to external openings The smallest branches of the network are capped by a cellular unit called a flame bulb These tubules excrete a dilute fluid and function in osmoregulation eg flatworm protonephridia
_____ consist of tubules that collect coelomic fluid and produce dilute urine for excretion eg earthworms metanephridia
______ remove nitrogenous wastes from hemolymph and function in osmoregulation eg insects Malpighian tubules
the excretory organs of vertebrates, function in both excretion and osmoregulation kidneys
the nmammalian kidney has two distinct regions renal cortex and renal medulla
functional unit of the vertebrate kidney nephron
the nephron consists of a single long tubule and ball of capillaries called glomerulus
_____ system involving the loop of Henle maintains a high salt concentration in the kidney This system allows the vasa recta to supply the kidney with nutrients, without interfering with the osmolarity gradient countercurrent multiplier
hormonal control of kidney function 1) Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) 2) Aldosterone 3) Angiotensin II 4) Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
Produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland,____ controls the permeability of the collecting ducts to water antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
ALDOSTERONE a part of a complex feedback circuit that functions in homeostasis
a drop of blood pressure near the glomerulus causes juxtaglomerular apparatus(JGA)
_____ triggers the formation of the peptide angiotensin 11 renin
____ raises blood pressure and decreases blood flow in kidneys angiotensin 11
angiotensin 11 stimulates the release of teh hormone_____ which increases blood volume and pressure aldostrone
pathway of blood filtrate to urine proximal tubule--> descending limb of the loop henle--> ascending limb of the loop henle-->distal tubule.
re-absorption of ions, water and nutrients takes place in the proximal tubule
filtrate becomes increasingly concentrated in the descending limb of the loop of henle
regulates k+ and Nacl concentrations of the body fluids distal tubule
carries filtrate from the medulla to the renal pelvis collecting ducts
Blood Vessels Associated with the Nephron afferent arteriole , efferent arteriole, peritubular capilllaries, vasa recta
a branch of the renal artery that divides into the capillaries___ The capillaries converge as they leave the glomerulus, forming an afferent arteriole, efferent arteriole,
capillaries that serve the loop of the henle vasa recta
bowman's capsule, PCT, DCT are all found in the cortex
loop henle and connecting duct are found in the medulla
what shouldn't be found in the urinary system glucose(glucosa), proteins(urinalysis), RBC(hematonia)
pathway of filtrate bowan's capsule--> proxiaml tubule(PCT)--> loop henle--> DCT--> connecting duct--> renal pelvis-> ureter--> cortical nephrons--> renal cortex-->juxtamedullary nephrons-->renal medulla
in the kidney, surrounds the apex of the renal pyramids minor carlyx
Two or three minor calyces converge to form a major carlyx
_____is released in response to an increase in blood volume and pressure and inhibits the release of renin atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
what happens when you have an ADH that is mutilated diabetes melitus and diabetes insipidus
in diabetes increase in volume of urine is called polyuna
in diabetes increase in thrist is called pollidipsia
increase in frequency of urination is called pollakiuria
diabetes mellitus class 1- no insulin. class 2- deficiency receptors
ADH is mutant, it is not produced ie water is not retained causing high volume of urine diabetes insipidus
