Ch. 44, Osmoregulation & Excretion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does not happen during excretion? | no filtration |
| What organ do vertebrates have for osmoregulation and excretion? | kidneys |
| How does the anatomy work? | Urine passed into ureter that leads to urinary bladder. -emptied through urethra. |
| What is the outer region of kidneys called? What's the inner? | Cortex, medulla |
| What are nephrons? | Individual units of kidneys, coiled up. |
| What are the 2 types of nephrons? | cortical nephrons juxtamedullary nephorns. |
| Where does the filtration of blood occur? | glomerulus. |
| What does Bowmans capsule do? | surround glomerulus. |
| How will filtrate travel? | proximal tubule-down&up loop of henle-through distal tubule-> drain through collecting duct. |
| Whats step 1 in filtration? | blood pressure forces stuff out of glomerulus in Bowmans capsule. |
| Step 2&3 in reabsorbtion and secretion? | filtrate enters proximal tubule; Na+ pumped out. |
| 4 steps of excretion? | 1. filtration- water, amino acids etc, filtered out. 2. reabsorbtion-not wasted things are reabsorbed. 3. secretion- access is added to filtrate. 4. excretion- filtrate is expelled from body. |
| What invertebrates have excretory systems? | protonephridia in plathyhelmentes. |
| What excretory system is in mollusca? | metanephridia, ciliated opening drains fluid from coelom. |
| What do insects produce? | malphigian tubule- connect excretory system to tigestive tract. |
| What is urine concentration controlled by? | hormones. |
| What does Aldosterone cause? | distal tubules to release more salt than H2O. |
| What is not reduntant? | ADH& RAAS |
| Where is urethra in males? | Penis |
| Where is urethra in females? | has it's own opening. |
| What do kidneys spend more off than most organs? | energy |
| What are the steps once filtrate enters loop of Henle and does down? | environment gets progressively more hyperosmotic. -epithelial walls are permeable to H2O but not salts. -H2O leaves filtrate through aquaporin channels. |
| What happens on ascending limb in loop of henle? | environment gets progressively more hypoosmotic. -walls are permeable to salt but not H2O. - salt diffuses. -filtrate become more diluted. |
| What happens in the situal tubule? | a lot of selective transport. |
| What happens in collecting duct? | H2O is absorbed, but how much depends on hormones. |
| What happens in step 4, excretion? | the renal pelvis collects urine -urine flows through ureters-> urinary bladder-urethra. |
| What are nephron types? | juxtameduallary (go deeper in medulla) |
| When blood pressure drops, cells release? | ranin, interacts with angiotensin, decreasing blood flow. |
| What does 2nd hormone system monitor? What is used? | blood pressure, aldosterone (RAAS) |
| What happens if blood osmolarity drops? | less ADH is release, more dilute urine. |
| Where do we find increased numbers of aquaporin channels? | collecting ducts of nephrons. |
| What happens if osmolarity of blood rises? | ADH is released. |
| What's produced in the hypothalamus? | anit-diuretic hormone (ADH). |
| What are the 3 types of nitrogen waste from ammonia? | 1. ammonia - cheap, but very toxic (needs lots H2O) aquatic animals. 2. Urea - less cheap& less toxic (amphibians, mammals) 3. Uric acid - least cheap, not toxic (birds&reptiles) |
| In what chemical form is the waste? | ammonia (NH3) |
| What do animals produce? | nitrogenous waste, from breakdown of proteins, nucleic acids. |
| What does osmoregulation cost a lot of? What is the specialized tissue called? | energy expensive& transport epithelia |
| What 2 ways can animals loose H2O? | Urine&feces, evaporation across skin |
| What are 3 ways land animals gain water? | drinking, eating, byproduct of mentabolism. |
| What risk to terrestrial animals face? | dehydration. |
| What did the water bear develop? | anhydrobiosis. he can loose 98% of water. |
| What problem do fresh water fish have? | their tissues are hyperosmotic to water (take in a LOT of H2O) |
| What's special about sharks? | their tissue stores high amounts of urea. TMAO which protects against urea. |
| What is an osmoregulator? | maintainging an osmolarity different than seawater. |
| What is a stenhaline environment? | When the animal lives in either salt or fresh water. |
| What does a euryhaline environment mean? | Where fresh and saltwater meets. |
| What do you call an animal that keeps internal osmolarity the same as environment? | Osmoconformers. |
| An equal amouint of solutes? | isoosmatic. |
| Few solutes? | hypoosmotic. |
| many solutes? | hyperosmotic. |
| Where does H2O want to move during osmosis? | towards area of higher osmolarity. |
| systems for what are compled to osmoregulation? | systems for excretion. |
| What is one of the most important aspects of homeostasis? | osmoregulation. |
| What balance do metabolic reactions require? | water and ions. |
